North by Northwest at Hollywood Forever

One of our favorite summer things to do is to watch movies in the park. When we were living in the Bay Area, we went to a couple screenings at Dolores Park, but now that we’re in Southern California, we’re all about Cinespia! On Saturday night, we drove up to Hollywood to watch North by Northwest in the cemetery (probably my favorite Hitchcock besides Rear Window). It sounds a lot creepier than it actually is. They project the film on one of the buildings, and everyone lays out picnic blankets on the lawn.

We met a lovely couple while we were waiting in line and really hit it off. We ended up sitting together and decided to be permanent movie-going buddies. Next weekend, Casablanca!

OK Go at the Music Box

On Friday night, Jason and I saw OK Go at the Music Box in Hollywood. They put on a really great show. Very fun and quirky and interactive…all you would expect from the fellas who created some of the best music videos ever. (Also, Earl Greyhound opened, and they were fabulous. Pure rock ‘n’ roll. When they perform, it’s like you’re being slathered in butter. Their guitarist is a young, skinny, sexy Michael Bolton although he is way too cool to enjoy that comparison.)
