Movie Night

Last night Derek and I went to see Young Frankenstein. We didn't take a camera since I didn't think it would be particularly memorable, however now I am blogging about it and wish I had taken it. We were invited last month by Derek's friend Kurt's sister. She lives up near Venice Beach and she and her husband were planning to come down to San Diego county to watch this movie and so we decided to join them.

We went to the Stone Brewery in Escondido and sat in their beer garden where they had a screen set up. Here is the image they have on their website so you can get an idea:So you bring your own blankets or chairs and sit under the stars watching a different movie every Wednesday. As the sun started to set there were bats flying over head and everything was decorated with plants and stone so it is a really pretty atmosphere. We watched the movie and had a fun time sitting outside with everyone laughing at Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder. Next week they are show Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. What makes the showing so special is the guys who did Mystery Science Theatre 3000 will be there with microphones cracking jokes throughout the movie. We are going to try and make it back there for that one.
