And now, an art date. It takes place in a spaceship. More precisely, a room inspired by one from a Cold War–era Eastern Bloc film called Ikarie XB-1.

There’s a well-regarded football event happening in town soon. Perhaps you’re aware. And even the Met Museum’s getting in on the action. This—this is an entire museum exhibit of rare football cards, including an actual Knute Rockne card. So yes, you’re doing this for the Gipper.
