Movies on the Wall: “Ghostbusters” under the full moon

The sizable crowd was all aglow just before tonight’s West Seattle Movies on the Wall presentation of “Ghostbusters” in the courtyard next to Hotwire Coffee (WSB sponsor): One of tonight’s movie co-sponsors, Curious KidStuff, provided glow sticks for all, and the crowd waved them for the WSB camera. A more natural source of light appeared right before intermission, as the full moon rose over the building to the left of the movie screen, within view of all. Another of tonight’s co-sponsors, Square 1 Books, announced it’s planning a 21-percent-off sale in November, during its 21st-anniversary celebration, and Garlic Jim’s Pizza (WSB sponsor) provided free slices for moviegoers. Proceeds from this week’s raffle (tickets are sold pre-movie, drawing at intermission) benefited WestSide Baby (we won one of the prizes, an adorable sock toy for cats, created by Teri Ensley from Furry Faces Foundation; our cats have a couple already so we’ll be giving it to one of our best pals’ ailing senior kitty). You’ve got two chances to enjoy Movies on the Wall, powered by Sidewalk Cinema, in the next week – “Finding Nemo,” rained out last Saturday, is rescheduled for this Thursday, and then the season finale, “Galaxy Quest,” is planned for next Saturday night.

Hello! I know this sounds like a silly question, but what time do these movies start? I can’t find this anywhere on the site or the website of those sponsoring them.

The movies start at dusk. This weekend that should be around 9 p.m. Get there a bit early if you want a good spot. People start gathering around 7:00.

I would advise not arriving any later than 8 pm. You can always stake out your spot, then get concessions, walk around, etc. We screeched in around 8:30 on Saturday night and could barely find a spot, plus Lora was already making the first round of announcements.

Sorry, comment time is over.
