Films for Your Friday the 13th
We’re still recovering from all the fun last night at Table 31. Elliot Loves was a great way to kick off opening weekend. The night was only made hotter by getting our picture taken with Amber Rose. Hopefully you were able to make it to the festivities, but if not there is plenty of fun to be had during the next week.
