Will post details after I check the brochure. Does anyone know how this is set up? Do you bring a picnic blanket and popcorn?

I haven't seen the brochure for this event, but when they did this last summer the people hosting (who appear to live in a group house on the 700 block of Morton) dragged out couches and a lot of folding chairs to the Murray's lot. They also provided popcorn, I think, or sold it. It wouldn't hurt to bring your own folding chairs -- blankets might not be comfortable/practical in the Morton's lot due to pavement, broken glass and trash.

Now this I like. What a great idea.

Cool! Please do keep us posted. Will this be a series or a one-off event? Bummer that DC lost its sponsor for big-screen movies on the mall, but maybe stuff like this could step in and fill the void.

Not only is this a great idea, but totally by coincidence, the movie ends up being one of my favorites of all time! It's based on a guy I used to work with every now and then.
