Met a friend in Bryant Park late this afternoon to hang out with her while she scored some spots on the lawn for the last summer movie at the park. Seth and I have yet to make it to one of those, but after witnessing the events of today, I know what to expect and to plan to be there 3 hours before the movie shows with food and beverages! We arrived at the edge of the lawn at 4:40 p.m. Lawn opened at 5 p.m. Show's at 8:25 p.m. I stayed until about 6:15 p.m. just after her boyfriend arrived to take his spot on the blanket!
Armed with blankets and dangerous! Surprised the security guards didn't get trampled when the clock struck 5 p.m.
All I heard was some shouting that the lawn was open, and then everyone Ran for it!
Throwing down blankets as quickly as possible. We didn't think there were enough people to fill the lawn at 5 p.m. but we were mistaken. The place was covered with blankets! Everyone was cracking open their bags of goodies. Not going to lie, I was a bit jealous of the group with a bottle of wine a couple blankets over.
Getting comfy and waiting (3 hours and counting!) At least the weather was nice and the sun had fallen behind the buildings giving a perfect shade. Great place for a great conversation!
View from the back of the lawn looking towards the screen. Tonight's show is
Superman. Next summer S and I will have to make a date and head to a free evening show (maybe at the Brooklyn Bridge!) I'll make sure to head out early enough to score some nice seats!
