Movie Night in Mt Adams July 2009

Last Thursday was another fun movie night in the neighborhood. The weather was unseasonable cool, 70 and no humidity. John and I brought chicken pad thai and spring rolls (from Teak) and got to Seasongood about quarter till 8. The band started around 7:30. It was a 15 people jazz orchestra and they were fantastic. They played mostly 50's music, in theme with the movie which was released in 1955.

Many more dogs attended this movie night than the movie night last month. The band encouraged people to dance. These 2 kicked off the dancing.

These little girls seemed to have a good time dancing in front of the band and lead singer.

Neighbors catching up.

The raffle before the movie included: fishing lessons at Mirror Lake, tickets to Playhouse in the Park, Art Museum membership, gift certificates to a Jeff Ruby restaurant, a big screen tv and amusingly a free movie screening (like the one in this picture) at your home. This was amusing because most of the audience does not have a backyard big enough to handle this screen, or for that matter a yard at all. In fact the winner of this prize (who is acutally in the picture on the stage pulling raffle winners) live in Highland Towers and has no yard at all.

Picture of John. After dinner and the raffle we opened the bottle of syrah we brought.

Dinner from Teak with my husband, a free movie and wine with the neighbors on a beautiful night in a great park all within walking distance of our home is my kind of fun.

The cartoon before the movie was Bugs Bunny Goes to Mars.

We got home around 11:30. Lucy was not amused when we put the glow necklaces on her.

Next movie is Philadelphia Story (1940) with Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart on Friday, August 21st.
