San Fran, CA "American Graffiti" in the Park SF - Sat. Sep. 24, 8pm

Hey all, although September 24 will be special for "other" reasons cough..um Robert...cough , something else that may be worth checking out later that evening:

American Graffiti

Saturday, September 24th 2005 at Washington Sq. Park in San Francisco

Showtime: 8:00

++And in October, for Mr. Steiner's benefit, "Rebel Without a Cause" will be playing at an outdoor venue in San Rafael: Rebel Rebel

And for a complete schedule: Film Night in the Park

 

I have to work that night but I can walk to it from the park actually.

 

Sept 24th, it's Miller time eh Rob?

 

I'd like to go. We were going to see this outdoors in San Jose a couple of years ago, but it got cancelled an hour or so before showtime, for fear of rain (which it didn't!). Maybe afterwards, we can go hang out at, I don't know...Mel's? Never been there before.

 

LOL Matt

Mel's would only be so appropriate.

 

I think American Graffiti is a great movie, so I'm going. My favorite scenes are with Milner (Paul LeMat) and Carol (McKenzie Phillips).

 

I'm in and in sept it should actually be nice weather. I have blankets I can bring to sit on.

 

I've only seen this movie once. I'd like to see it again. So are we doing a picnic?

 

Uh oh. A picnic? Gale's "homemade" cookies again.

 

This picnic would of course be in the dark, though.

And Washington Park at night even in our Indian Summer can be a bit chilly.

 

This sounds like fun. Where is Washington Park???

 

Washington Square Park is in the Northbeach area across the street from St Peter and Paul Church.

 

Darn.

Shakespeare in the Park is at 7:30

 

Sorry, that's during Leather Pride Week, so my day is booked.

 

I think everyone should bring their own blanket, just in case. I'll bring one to sit on, as well as 3 chairs. Remember to bundle up, it's San Francisco!

 

Gail, picknick sounds good. I can always bring a camping lamp.The park should have enough light from the street lamps though. Cheese, crackers, salami, apples, grapes and a bottle of wine, and yeah your cookies for those with a sweet tooth. Doesnt that sound good?
PS North Beach has so many great restaurants, Why Mels?

 

If that happens, we might be seeing "Invasion of the Giant Eva Coolers" instead!

 

American Graffiti made Mels famous.

But since it's my birthday, I'd rather be boozing.

 

Ekuso!!!!!!

 

That was way cool seeing this movie outdoors like that. It gave it that old "drive-in movie" feel that I felt when I first saw Star Wars. They even had old ads about going to the drive-in snack bar that was nice. To top it off, there was a fireworks show behind us as the movie ended!

 

Damn I totally missed out cuz I was tied up at the bar across the street.

 

Yeah... sorry... Oh wait, no I ain't. The bar was awesome!

 

Ok, now I'm jealous I missed out on this one!

 

Theres always next time. I had alot of fun, we should do this again next time. There are plenty more of these outdoor showings within the month. Rebel Without A Cause is playing over in San Raffel on the 1st. And Tootsie is playing in San Francisco in Delores Park on the 8th. And remember to bring more pillows instead of lawn chairs (which i used as a pillow).
