Free screening of "Capitalism: A Love Story"

Raleigh has been selected as one of a handful of cities that will get a free early screening of Michael Moore's new film, "Capitalism: A Love Story."

The Raleigh showing is tonight at 7:30 at the Regal North Hills Movie Theater.

It is open to the general public. All seating is first come, first served.

The movie debuts nationally on Friday.

Sisters’ Catering Company offers special thank you to area volunteers

If you’ve attended a wedding reception or other catered event in Raleigh, there’s a good chance it was catered by Sisters’ Garden & Catering Co. (2400 E. Millbrook Road; 872-2100; www.sisterscatering.com), which has been in the business since 1976.  

And if you’ve done volunteer work for a school, nonprofit or religious organization, you might like to know that Sisters’ Garden is hosting a Coffee Club as a way of saying “thank you” to all community volunteers. Throughout the months of May and June, coffee, pastries and savory breads will be served each Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8:30-11am.

The price of admission is normally $5. But if you tell them “Greg sent me,” it’s free. 

Things that go boom in the night

If you're planning to take in Durham's free fireworks at the DBAP tomorrow (Friday) night, be aware:
— Pyrotechnicians will be shooting off from down on the baseball field, thus limiting the view from outside the ballpark;
— To see what goes on beforehand (Kevin Costner rocking out, city officials talking on ... ) you have to buy a ticket;
— To get a good view of the free show for free you have to wait until the gates open, about 9:30;
— If you can't get a seat, you can watch from Blackwell Street outside the third-base corner.
