Free Movie on Your Birthday!

A free movie? In San Francisco? With the price of tickets on the upward march, that's worth taking advantage of in this town, fellow Cheap Bastards! And, as a bonus, you get to support one of the City's remaining independent theatres.

Now, this is only on your birthday, but the savvy cheapskate knows that opportunism works: wait patiently and grab the freebie when you can!

This is where I'll be found every October 17th:

Balboa Theater
3630 Balboa St. (at 38th Ave.)
San Francisco, CA

415-221-8184

balboamovies.com

After the show, take your ticket stub to either the Egyptian restaurant

Al Masri
4031 Balboa
San Francisco
415-876-2300
almasrisfca.com

or the Chinese place

Happy Dragon
3068 Balboa
San Francisco
415-221-9188

for a Balboa theater-goer discount! We're unsure as of this writing what that discount entails, but if you happen to go to either of these fine establishments, please let us know in the comments section!
