[SkateDC] Screen on the Green (7/12/10) Goldfinger [Off Topic]

[Daniel Smith]

Looks like rain ... a few drops in SW DC in the last hour.

Still seeing a few drops.

Looks "Un-promising."

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
