Movie Night this SATURDAY

So there's a nice little writeup about the Multnomah Outdoor Cinema in that little pull-out "inPortland" section of today's paper. I'd link to the article, but after spending way too much time clicking through the despised Oregonlive.com, which eventually crashed my browser - you're just giong to have to pick up the paper to read this one. When you do, you'll have to excuse the fact that the Oregonian's reporter thinks that Riversgate Church is called Riverside Church. They also state waht a wonderful "new idea" this outdoor cinema thing is. Now while it's new for the Village, I would point out that outdoor cinemas are all the rage this summer with at least three other ones going on around town including the "dive-ins" up at Wilson and how long have they been doing that? But what are you gonna do? This ain't the New York Times, people. Our loss.

No, I'm serious - there's Pioneer Square, the roof of the rewly refurbished Hotel Mallory's parking garage, the Wilson dive-ins, and probably more that I don't know about. Don't these people read the A&E section?

Still, on to more positive things! The bottom line is that there's a movie this week (the Goonies), but it's on Saturday night instead of Friday, to coincide with Multnomah Days. Plan for quite a crowd, and since it's supposed to be 90 degrees on Saturday bring some extra quarters for that extra snow cone you've been talking about.
