Outdoor Movies at Cal Anderson Park means summer is here?

There are 3 remaining movies as part of the Rock n Roll Fantasy at Cal Anderson Park that are put on by Three Dollar Cinema starting at dusk.  I do enjoy packing a picnic and sprawling on the grass watching a cult classic or at least a gay cult considered classic under the beautiful starry warm Seattle nights.  Ok...so I lapsed into a bit of fantasy as I know we are a wee bit unhappy with our weather this summer.

You can still pack a nice snack, bring blankets and enjoy the wonderful people watching opportunity (pwo) as it will be splendid!  


LABYRINTH August 5
To rescue her baby brother from the clutches of The Goblin King (David Bowie), a daydreaming girl (Jennifer Connelly) must navigate her way through a maze loaded with Jim Henson's magical puppet creations and captivating musical moments.

The Apple August 12
Set in an ultra campy future world of 1994, this mind-blowing, LOL rock opera follows a naïve singing duo struggling to save themselves (and the world!) from the evil plans of a powerful music mogul, Mr. Boogalow. (1980, 86 min.)

Footloose August 19
In an uptight town where rock music and dancing are against the rules, newcomer Kevin Bacon shakes things up by fighting for his right to get down and cut loose. (1984, 107 min.)

Enjoy!

Cal Anderson Park expected Summer Closure

The Seattle Gay News' Shaun Knittel has reported that Cal Anderson Park will be closed for most of this summer.  The closure of the park is due installing a new lighting system at the Bobby Morris Playfield,which is on the South end of the field.  The tennis courts, restrooms and shelter house will remain open although the tennis courts may suffer from a lack of lighting on occasion.

Bobby Morris Playfield will be closed from June 20 until the end of August, and construction and fences will replace sunbathers and sports teams.

There are many events that will be looking for a new home this year and one I am particularly fond of is the beloved Bat n' Rouge fundraiser (the Drag Queens vs the Dykes) for the Capitol Hill Alano Club.  It is considered the kickoff of Pride celebrations for many and is just plain a good time.  Ms T.

'Sounds Outside' Saturdays at Cal Anderson Park 1pm July 17

Cal Anderson Park has become a place for events ranging from Bat n Rouge, a fun and zany fundraiser of softball featuring Drag Queens and Dykes playing softball for the Capitol Hill Alano Club to Three Dollar Bill Cinema Outdoor Movies.  Add to the roster 'Sounds Outside' tomorrow July 17th at 1pm brought to us by members of the Monktail collective and we have another reason to be outside enjoying each other and what Cal Anderson Park has to offer - community gather together.

The Jazz Composers Ensemble and the Zubatto Syndicate, two bands well known for being especially creative will play. Wayne Horvitz’s Sonny Clark tribute band is on the schedule and there is a New York band called Father Figures that will be new to our area.  Come out and enjoy!  Ms T.
