Last Thursday night, this summer’s “Movies by Moonlight” series kicked off with a showing of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

All you need is a picnic blanket and a lawn chair to stake your claim on piece of Linn Park real estate for the evening. Make sure you get there in time to watch the 2-story tv screen inflate. Pretty cool. While trolling Flickr, the best pics I’ve seen yet are over on Acnatta’s Flickr stream.

It looked like a couple hundred people showed up and John’s City Diner even delievered dinner if you didn’t want to bring your own.
Not sure who’s catering the next movie, but I hope the weather is just as nice.

Here’s a rundown on upcoming movies:

June 22nd - Big Fish
July 20th - Drum Line
Aug 17th - Raising Arizona
Sept 21st - Napoleon Dynamite,
Oct 19th - Viewer’s Choice. VOTE all summer long, and register for door prizes.

Of course, I’m sure all this is subject to change (and rain).
