Celeb appearances, screening on the beach where it was filmed.  Sounds so cool.  And I can't be there...

SAXAMAPHONE! SAXAMAPHONE!

I'm sure this has been asked somewhere in the history of the TPG, but I don't remember it.

Has anyone ever approached these Alamo people about doing a road show for the festival movie night?

SAXAMAPHONE! SAXAMAPHONE!

There is mention of Timmy being pumped through the sound system on the beach. 

I would get so giddy.  (Er, for the atmosphere it would lend, not because I'm hot in the crotch for greasy spandex muscle man)

They approached us a couple years ago saying they were doing a FWWM road show that summer and they wanted to try and coincide with the fest. And then we never heard from them, despite a few e-mail queries as to the status of it. Not sure where we'd do the road show or when. The movie night is provided by the Seattle Art Museum and I think they'd balk at the idea of making everyone drive 45 minutes east to go watch a movie in the woods. We'd love it...not sure the SAM patrons would be as enamored. :)

I wasn't imagining things then.

Seems like folks were willing to take the trip out of the city when movie night was still in North Bend, though.

Yeah, but not as many as the SAM usually gets when it's downtown. It would be up to Greg Olson to make that decision, and I'll put it in his hands but I don't expect it to pan out. Anyway, this is not a discussion for this thread.

Bringing this back on topic...I would totally attend the Lost Boys roadshow in Santa Cruz if I wasn't off in Washington.  I mentioned this to my cousin who lives down there and she's already got a small posse of friends lined up to attend. I threatened her with bodily harm if she didn't bring back pictures.

Santa Cruz. Although I've only been to that town once and only for a short time, it gives me the creeps. A pervasive sense of decay but not the pleasant type of decay. It was right around the time of The Lost Boys. I don't know if it was right before or right after. Doesn't matter because I hadn't seen the film until much later. I do know that in retrospect the atmosphere of the film town seemed eerily familiar to my sense of the actual Boardwalk where a punk kid sucker-punched our son apparently over who was next on some arcade video game. Fists were flying like a cartoon brawl. It happened so fast and then was over.

But there was something creepy about Santa Cruz. It's probably not fair to judge it from that brief moment but places can give you feelings. Hey, I like that as a thread! Places that give you feelings. Good or bad. Just not neutral places like that generic parking lot of AnyTown, USA with the Starbucks and the Panda Express next to the Office Depot or Michael's Crafts store.  Santa Cruz worked well as The Lost Boys location.
