This weekend, Arizona get’s very Harry, puts on some anime costumes, and games games games.

It’s been a very exciting week in the Octopus household, and this weekend should prove to be very fun as well.

I know of two advance showings happening at 7pm Thursday night; both for charity.
One for A Special Connection Foundation at San Tan Harkins in Chandler.
And one for The Phoenix Film Foundation at Shea Harkins in Scottsdale.
