JURASSIC PARK SLOPE: THIS MUST HAPPEN

PHOTO: Miss Heather from New York ShittyOk, this *might* actually be the best thing I've ever seen in my entire fucking life.

Miss Heather from New York Shitty spotted a flyer in Williamsburg from a, no doubt, up-and-coming team of award-winning flimmakers who are trying to get a movie made and want Bill Murray to star in it. What is this fine flick called, you might be wondering?
