We took my son Nate to see the classic 1928 Harold Lloyd comedy film Speedy, which was the final event of the 2009 Riverrun International Film Festival. The presentation was exceptionally interesting because of the musical accompaniment provided by the Alloy Orchestra. The synchronization of the music with the action on the screen was so good that it was easy to forget that the music was live. There was a baseball subtheme, with Babe Ruth in a funny cameo. (Yankee Stadium - the real one - also had a cameo role.) The restored print of the film was surprisingly "clean." I liked the opportunity Riverrun provided to see a bit of the NC School of the Arts campus. Jon found the parking signs in the parking lot of the Gateway Y a bit ambiguous. Do they mean "no parking at all" or "no parking except for those attending Riverrun?
