On Saturday evening, we made our way to the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, for the Cinespia screening of Vertigo. If you are unfamiliar witht the cemetery screening events, tons of people treck to Hollywood laden with blankets, lawn chairs, full spreads of Trader Joe's picnick items, beer and wine to enjoy a movie projected on the side of one of the large mosoleums. This goes on every other weekend or so all summer long, and is a great time. However, this particular saturday, all we Angelinos overestimated the arrival of summer weather, and we like to froze to death, in the words of my Grandma Joy. The lawn turned damp as the sun went down, and although we still had tons of fun snacking on fried chicken, salame sandwiches, hummus, chips and alcoholic beverages, as the night became colder and colder, it got hard to stick out. Usually my tactic would be to get drunk, so as to warm myself and not mind how uncomrfortable the ground was becoming, but I was afraid that I would need to treck to the port-a-pottys and never find my way back in the crowd.
All in all, fun and fabulous, but next time I'll try to prepare better. I think maybe some lawn chairs would be in order. We were accomanied by David's sister, Diane + husband Jose, their daughter Ashley, niece to David-Michael, and best friends, David + Heather Greenwood, and the marvelous Kristen.
