Monday, July 12 - GOLDFINGER. Sean Connery stars as 007 in #003 of the James
Bond series.
Considered one of the best of all Bonds, it was loosely adapted from Ian
Fleming's
1959 novel. (1964) 111 Min. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058150/)
Once again I will be staking out space with blue and gray tarps as close to front and center (with respect to the screen) as possible when I arrive sometime before 7 pm. I will try to set up here: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3867485 center of the screen as close to the gravel sidewalk in front of the screen as possible. I will be wearing blaze orange. I will NOT have my mobile with me (at least for the first film) because it is completely non-functioning. The film should start sometime after sunset (8:34 pm).
The weather should be warm and humid, typical for SotG, but there's almost no chance of rain.

Let me know if you're coming (and how many you are) so I can reserve the proper amount of space.
The location is the National Mall west of 4th Street, between Madison and Jefferson Drives.
Closest Metro stations are Archives/Navy Memorial, Smithsonian and
L'Enfant Plaza.
Parking: I'm recommending parking at L'Enfant Promenade where free on-street parking opens up at 6:30 pm. You can probably get closer (it's at least a 6 block walk) but there should be spaces available there and I hate driving around looking for parking.
Cheers,
George
