[SkateDC] Great news for local mosquitoes! [Off Topic]

[George Marinkovich]

Screen on the Green is back!

"The series, which attracts thousands of people to the Mall every
summer, will begin July 20 with Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounters of
the Third Kind" and continue on Mondays at dusk until Aug. 10 -- one
week shy of its usual five-week run, a compromise resulting from the
last-minute nature of the arrangements. The rest of the lineup has not
been confirmed, though it may include movies that are already slotted
for Screen on the Green's New York counterpart, held in Bryant Park,
such as "Dog Day Afternoon" or "Rebel Without a Cause," according to
HBO." -- http://tinyurl.com/m7crcz

The 2009 sponsors are:   HBO (returning), Comcast, and the Trust for the National Mall.
