WSBKeymasterThis is going in the calendar but also approp. for Freebies … so here goes – from Dinah at Admiral Theater:
>>The Admiral Theater will be hosting a free screening of the classic Christmas movie, A Christmas Story, Sunday, December 21 at 11:00 a.m.
It’s our way of saying Happy Holidays to all of our friends in West Seattle!
Humorist Jean Shepard’s nostalgic view of Christmastime in Indiana during the 1940s is a holiday classic. Nine-year-old Ralphie desperately wants a Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas and wages an all-out campaign to convince his reluctant parents Darren McGavin and Melinda Dillon that the toy is safe. Meanwhile, as Ralphie prepares for the big day, his brother has a strange relationship with food, and his dad fights the never-ending furnace battle. <<

LoweryMemberActually, he looks like a young Hugh Hefner after he got tired of trying to explain his idea to the other investors, and just wanted to show them where his imagination was going.

In2theknightMember(after I wiped the water that WAS in my mouth off of my computer screen)…Lowery, that’s one of the funniest things I have ever read on this site.

GinaParticipantDon’t forget to drive by the leg lamp house near Hanford and Walnut afterwards!
December 10, 2008 at 7:09 pm #649395
JanSParticipantGina…how come I don’t know that house? is it on Hanford or on Walnut?
December 10, 2008 at 11:48 pm #649396
GinaParticipantI know it is on Hanford, where there is a zig zag in the street, so I never rememember what the cross avenue is. I think it is between Walnut and 39th.
I have been stuck at home with a cold all week, so I haven’t had a chance to check.

MrJTMemberJan, It’s the brick house on the SE corner.

carrieannMemberThis is one I may have to try and make. One of the channels (TBS?) runs ACS, non-stop, Christmas Eve-Christmas morn. I always switch between that and It’s A Wonderful Life as I frantically try and wrap the last of the gifts.

celeste17ParticipantYen Wor Puke! :)

ZenguyParticipantCeleste, you did not say it had to be good Chinese.
December 17, 2008 at 11:38 pm #649403
MrJTMemberZenguy, how did you hold back from calling it what the locals do ?
December 21, 2008 at 5:21 pm #649404
HuindekmiParticipantAnyone know if this is still happening?
December 21, 2008 at 5:34 pm #649405
WSBKeymasterI have a message out to Dinah. Trying to find her cell phone number too.
December 21, 2008 at 5:36 pm #649406
WSBKeymasterNever mind, there’s a recording. THE MOVIE IS STILL ON. Doors will open around 10:45.
December 21, 2008 at 5:39 pm #649407
WSMomParticipantMy daughter is rallying the troops to go see this movie! I hope the theater has heat!!
December 21, 2008 at 9:50 pm #649408
pamMemberThe movie was fun – the theater did not have heat, or if it did it was a bit chilly anyway. While we’ve seen the movie tons of times it was fun to hear reactions of people who hadn’t seen it before (the one or two!). Thanks to the Admiral Theater for this holiday treat.
