screen on the green, or, really? a movie on the lawn?

the other evening - an uncharacteristically cool and low-humidity one - the baron and the husband had small group of friends over to watch a movie. outside. projected onto an old, white bed sheet.

the baron, being rather more fond of indoor activities than outdoor ones, had reservations about the entire enterprise. however, in the end, all in attendance seemed to enjoy the night, and the baron was pleasantly surprised to find that:

-'back to the future' holds up pretty well
-citronella candles actually keep mosquitoes at bay
-everyone loves nerds and
-riesling is just fine to take the edge off

as it was a movie, the baron felt strongly that a concessions stand was in order (thanks to k for the popcorn)...


but harlan and dexter felt strongly that said concessions stand should be guarded...


while baron, ever the suspicious one, kept an eye out for the equipment.


the long view, to the bedsheet. the baron knows it seems a little hokey, reader, but trust her: it was actually quite fun! next up in the screen on the green queue? 'indiana jones and the raiders of the lost ark' - woot!
