Free Movie Ticket Giveaway & Bethenny Frankel Invades the Flower Show – Link Roundup

Free Movie Tickets because we love you! We have 5 pairs of tickets to giveaway to the Thursday, March 22nd 7:30 PM screening of feature film Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (starring Ewan McGregor & Emily Blunt, by screenwriter of Slumdog Millionaire) at the AMC Waterfront.   Based on a novel, Salmon Fishing is about a sheik who wants to bring fly-fishing to a desert environment.  Want to win tickets?  Simply leave a comment on this post about why you want to see the film.  (Clip below.)

As for what you missed this week:

  • The Senate defeated legislation to build the Keystone XL pipeline. WOOHOO! Unfortunately, PA Senators Casey AND Toomey voted to pass the pipeline… but they were beat.  Keep your eyes peeled – the vote could potentially come up again, and we don’t want it to pass.
  • PA Fracking-influenced water results are due this week. We’re assuming the report will be radioactive and catching fire, just like in Gasland.
  • Reality TV “Stars” Melissa Gorga (Real Housewives of New Jersey) is coming to the Philadelphia Flower Show today, March 9th from 5-7 PM, and Bethenny Frankel is coming tomorrow from 2:30-4:30 PM. Both castmembers will be in the Grand Hall. (Yawn. We prefer meeting Drew Becher.)
  • You can buy these green glasses made from repurposed Jameson Bottles… pretty sweet from Thrillist.
  • eForce Compliance recycles “Anything with a Plug” again tomorrow (Saturday, March 10th) from 9 AM – 1 PM at the Upper Darby high School.
  • Congrats to our reader Dennis who won tickets to the Phila Historical Home Show this weekend!
  • There’s also a few tickets left to the Brewer’s Plate 2012 for this Sunday at the National Constitution Center, which features a lot of local brews & foods.
