I rewatched Speed two days ago with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves and forgot how much I love that movie. Sharing in case you need an anxiety-inducing but wildly entertaining Wednesday night plan. I also somehow just discovered Keanu is in a band.

That’s right. His alternative rock band, Dogstar, is playing Webster Hall this month. Whether you want to see Reeves on guitar or just catch a solid rock show, enter to win tickets.
