2006-05-07 18:42:10   I went to see the Princess bride last night. They had a giant inflatable screen set up, which they projected the movie on. One good idea is that they segregated the lawn into 3 sections — those with blankets up front, those with beach chairs in the middle, and those with tall chairs in the back. There were, of course, a ton of kids there, but there were also a lot of couples, people with dogs, and adults. The kids were mostly well behaved. There was also several food booths there: the Hotdogger, Kathmandu Kitchen, Baskin Robbins, and Woodstocks (I think). Overall, a fun experience! —AlexPomeranz
