We used John and Ilda's visit last night as an excuse to get Summer Movie Nights 2006 underway. After waiting out two passing storm clouds (one with torrential downpour!), we quickly fired up the grill and loaded it with Greek chicken sausage, garlic chicken sausage, jalapeno bratwursts, veggie burgers, bacon wrapped corn on the cob, and seasoned peppers and onions. Also available were a great pasta salad and a fine selection of local brews. In attendance were John and Ilda (of course), Sol and Jacquee (soon to be Agent JQ, PhD), Bruce and Kate and Ian (that's Ian Charles, Ladies' Man), Amy, Sadie and myself.
The movie preshow included Tom & Jerry favorites Cat Fishin', Zoot Cat and Touche Pussycat, as well as Fensler Film's classic G.I. Joe P.S.A. series. Once the food was gone, the sky fully dark and everyone had secured their favorite seats (chair seating on the patio and blanket lawn seating are both available), the feature presentation of Howl's Moving Castle began to roll. Disney's English adaptation of Hayao Miyazaki's animated adventure was well received and an exciting season opener to this year's outdoor movie extravaganza. Viva Turnip Head!
