would you mind being the pickpocket in our silent film?

I was going to go see a movie tonight but when I got out to Southpointy, I discovered that matinee prices end at 6 and the movie I was planning to see started after 6. In my idiosyncratic and unquantified system, this was not a full-price movie. So I'll probably try and see it after work sometime next week. But tonight I just bagged off. To salvage some entertainment value from the evening, I headed over to Rockwood Filling Station, Scott Howell's new wood-fired pizza joint. They only opened yesterday but they were doing good business before 6 when I was there. I had the chicken liver pizza. The livers were excellent. Also some nice tomato sauce, caramelized onions, fresh basil, and some shaved parmigiana. The crust was nice and thin. My pizza had spent maybe a few seconds too long in the oven, There should be some charred spots on pizza coming from a wood-fired oven. But mine had crossed a bit over the line from charred to burnt. But that didn't seem to be the case for most of the pizzas I saw passing by to other diners. Since it's only their second day of serving customers, I'm sure they'll get the timing down better as they continue. I'll definitely be going back.

if memory serves, Rockwood Filling Station is the name of the sandwich place that used to be in the Q-Shack location.
