Join Ron Howard and Movieline Next Week at the Apple Store!

This is big: The one and only Ron Howard will be dropping by the Apple Store SoHo next week to discuss his new film The Dilemma, among other varied topics from the Oscar-winner's half-century career in Hollywood. The event is free to attend, and yours truly will moderate the proceedings -- up to and including your brilliant questions.

So, New Yorkers! Block out an hour next Thursday, Jan. 13, from 7:30 to 8:30, and head down to the Apple Store at 103 Prince Street (at Wooster Street). Again, the event is free of charge, but seats are first-come, first-served, so consider this your excuse to leave work on time for a change. And brainstorm some good questions! Maybe something about the 25th anniversary of Gung Ho? Sky's the limit! Hope to see you there...
