Happy Thursday! Chelsea here.

It's hard to put into words how excited I am about this, but I'm going to do my best. Napoleon Dynamite basically defined my high school experience.

The cast will be in town for a special screening in May, and tickets go on sale this morning at 10 a.m. So get those tickets and don't forget to Vote for Pedro!
