Movies in the Pearl

I stopped by Jamison Square last night. I was too early to see the movie, but I plan to go to it next month. They turn off the fountain and put up a large inflated movie screen. There was a beer garden set up. No out side alcoholic beverages are allowed in the park. Bring a low chair to enjoy the movie. Movies start 30 minutes after sunset. Available are $5 picnic meals made by Safeway to benefit p:ear. The movie on September 4, 2008 will be Casino Royale.
