There we were, eating some empanadas and quoting “Asphinctersayswhat” to each other, when Hurrican Brooklyn hit right over SummerScreen, ruining our equipment and forcing us to party on next week. We will still be showing Wayne’s World on August 17th, same time, same McCarren Park. Excellent.
Next week we will resume SummerScreen with Ghost World starring Steve Buscemi and a very young, pre Ryan Reynolds Scarlett Johansson. See you next week!
Last week, we gave away $25 gift certificates to two lucky winners who are now likely turning heads with their fashionable purchases from Crossroads Trading. But this week, oh this week, we are giving away an entire briefcase full of items that look like they were spewed from the movie Wayne’s World itself. You can get your pad looking like Wayne & Garth’s basement with an old school suitcase full of faux wood paneling, a basement-ready radio, a plaid shirt, a guide to Chicago (band or city, we do not know), good tunes and your grandma’s old pillow, all courtesy of Brooklyn newcomers Film Biz Recycling.
Film Biz Recycling is a non-profit organization that rescues film props that may have otherwise ended up in a landfill, so thank you, Film Biz, for continuing the construction of basements like Wayne’s right here in our borough.
To win this lovely prize, find an L Mag staff member in a sea foam green t-shirt to give them your name and email to enter the raffle. Winners will be announced before the movie begins. SHA-WIIING!
We did it, everyone. We ate Vspot until we passed out, poured those delicious little Bengali Tiger cans of Sixpoint on ourselves until we woke up again, break-danced to Free Williamsburg’s band choice TECLA, then spent most of the night watching Ice Cube and Chris Tucker sing to each other from the comfort of the Red Bull Creation mobile hammock. If you missed it, check out our photos on facebook. It was awesome.
See you all next week when we screen Wayne’s World and again pass out from too many vegan treats. Until then…
Tonight, before the sun goes down and we all get down on Friday (and before the eight Bark Hot Dogs we eat expands in our stomach), let’s take a moment to enjoy a free performance (thanks to Free Williamsburg)from the colorfully styled, be’feathered beauty that is TECLA. Listen to her song “Vintage Circle” below:
TECLA performs at 7 pm, so get their with your leopard print blanket and thirst for beer. Friday begins at sundown. See you tonight!
