Last night, I spent almost 5 hours in Bryant Park. Don't worry- it's not
Fashion Week yet...
It was the
HBO Bryant Park Summer Film Festival. Every Monday throughout the summer, a movie is shown at dusk... for free. As you can imagine, it's fun and outdooors, which means it's also POPULAR! So I got there around 6...
Took off my sandals...
Plopped down my cooler...
And read a book.
I had a bit of free time, so I took some pictures from where I sat... it was a beautiful day but SO HOT! 95 degrees is not my favorite weather, to say the least...
But lucky for me, this handsome guy showed up!
I had brought a picnic- I was so excited to use some of my new "picnic-ware"!
I brought some fruit...
And olives, hummus, and a version of
caprese salad.
When he does things like this, I just crack up!
In order to see the screen, the movie doesn't start until dusk... which meant that we had nothing to do until 8:30 pm.
Thankfully
SFS'
iTouch had enough battery to keep us entertained. Although he totally creamed me in Tank Wars, I blew him out of the water in Big Buck Hunter. I know- I'm just as surprised as you!
I really like this photo- plus, it's a great shot of
SFS' fancy watch.
As we waited, it started to get darker...
And
WAY more crowded!
We were starting to get antsy...
But lucky for us, it was getting darker and
DARKER!
And the previews started
on the button! (Also, how great does the "Where the Wild Things Are" look? Way to go Spike
Jonze!)
We were supposed to have scattered thunderstorms all night. Although the sky looked ominous at times, the weather held off.
I don't think I've mentioned it, but the movie was
The Magnficent Seven. It was good, though I have a hard time seeing Yul Brynner as anything other than the King of Siam or
Rameses II!
We had such a good time! Next week is the last movie of the summer- and they're showing Close Encounters of the Third Kind... maybe we'll see you there? I hope you have a great Tuesday!
