This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Thematically, this also makes sense because after the procession, the 
text says: "It is very late-three, my watch says." Three o'clock is the 
hour of Christ's death.

Additionally, the procession with the priest carrying the cross "like a 
crutch" is surely Good Friday.

When Ardis said "Tomorrow night the theater will be closed early for 
Easter." It is not unreasonable that she meant Easter weekend. And if 
the city has a large enough Catholic population to allow for public Good 
Friday processions, then it is not unreasonable that the theater to be 
closed IN THE EVENING on that day.
