Cinespia = Fun!

Beau and I took his little bros to Cinespia on Saturday night and if you haven't gone, it's well worth it! It's quite fun to be jammed in a cemetery watching a movie with hundreds of people. Who knew? No, really, we had a great time.

Every Saturday, they have screenings at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. The cemetery is surprisingly large and I'd like to go back and wonder the small mausoleums. Last Saturday, we were lucky enough to catch Pee Wee's Big Adventure, one of my all time favorite movies, and get a call from Paul Reubens himself before the showing, thanking everyone for coming! It was the perfect movie for a cold summer night in a graveyard -- fun but a little creepy! That movie brings back such a mix of childhood emotions for me, it's so well done. Somehow between Burton and Pee Wee there's a sense of innocent fun mixed with foreboding fear -- exactly what childhood feels like sometimes.

If you do go, be prepared. There was a huge line to get in (somehow spiraling from the inside out, which took some time to figure out), then you have to stake a claim on the lawn. Bring chairs and sweaters! We're ready to go back, this time with wine and cheese!
