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

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?

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)

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.
