41. See a movie at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
For the uninitiated, the historic Hollywood Forever Cemetery has a summer movie series. They project the film on the back of one of a masoleums with a DJ spinning tunes beforehand. The viewers sit on a huge lawn in front of the masoluem, where you can bring picnic dinner and booze. The movie we saw over the weekend? The lovely 60's sci-fi sex classic, Barbarella.
I've seen Barbarella before, but seeing it in such a unique setting was just too good to pass up. Three of our friends joined Tom and I for the screening. While it was crowded, it wasn't the massive throng I was expecting. While I was bummed I forgot my camera, there are pictures of the event, as Defamer had an operative blog about the event. I do resent being lumped into the "hipster parade" group, but it was a lot of fun to be there with a bunch of fans, laughing, hooting and hollering.
My other bone to pick with Defamer is that they claimed that they had the best spread. Oh, I beg to differ. Tom had whipped up a themed menu for our picnic delight. Keeping with the loose (hetero) sex in Barbarella, Tom made cold penis noodles (a combo of spaghetti noodles with actual penis-shaped French pasta in a delicious peanut sauce), four-way bean salad, Blueball martinis (martinis with blueberry juice and dried blueberries), A View To A Dill spread (in honor of bad guy Duran Duran), and of course, a tossed salad. So, in your face, Defamer. We out Top Chef-ed you. All and all, a great fun time.
