Cinema to Go!

A former Bakersfieldian and current Austinite sent me an email yesterday to give the heads up about a show coming to town. The Rolling Roadshow is heading for Kern County. They’re going to show North by Northwest at the Shafter airport near the spot where Cary Grant runs from the plane. The film is going to be shown outside and they’re going have real crop dusters “buzzing over the crowd” before the screening. That all sounds fun and stuff, but I’d like to know how they’re going to be able to watch the film after their eyes are full of dirt from those damn planes. I hope they have plenty of Visine on hand.

The fact that The Rolling Roadshow is coming here isn’t too much of a surprise. You can read the story about how they got there start here.
