About Us
We live near Dolores Park, and want to make the most of our beautiful little
neighborhood. Dolores Park Movie Night has no affiliations, no causes, no
politics and minimal organization. We pay for permits, movie licences, and
equipment ourselves and only ask for small donations to cover recurring costs.
Dolores Park Movie Night is our small contribution to the local community.
Our ranks include a Mad Scientist, a Computer Geek, a couple of
Hot Lawyer Babes, our Fearless Leader, and of course our Always
Hungry "Will Love You For Food" Mascot.

All Hail the Tamale Lady

The Tamale Lady
We asked Virginia, our beloved
Tamale Lady
to come to Dolores Park Movie Night. We believe she
answered in the affirmative, but
we were so pickled at the time we may have been talking
to the juke box.
If you see Virginia, tell her
that her services are urgently needed at the next
Movie Night.

"We need your help!"
|
How do we pay for all this?
We get no funding from any source except from you the Movie Night participant.
Donations and popcorn sales have to cover all our costs, which include movie
rights, city permits, Valet Bike Parking, porta potties, and equipment. Please
help us out so we can keep this event going.
And besides, you'd rather be at Movie Night than pay $10.50 for that crappy
Brad Pitt movie, right?

three break free to look for him, only to find themselves reunited ... on a ship en route
to Africa.
Please observe Family Night Etiquette: respect your neighbors, know who is sitting around you,

For the experiment, they choose their soon-to-be nephew-in-law, Louis Winthorpe III (Dan Aykroyd),
Harvard educated, silver spoon manager of the firm’s Philadelphia office
, and street hustler Billy Ray Valentine (Eddie Murphy).

Merry New Year!
