The Politics of Lightning

Unbelieveable.

I thought we would make it through one of my all-time favorite films, His Girl Friday, last night, but once again, the weather refused to cooperate. Sometimes we have to make some incredibly difficult calls when it comes to the weather, and last night’s case was no exception. The deciding factor was lightning. As lightning can precede the rain by up to 30 miles, and it was visably approaching in the night sky, we had no other choice but to cancel the film. A little rain and getting wet is one thing, but when it comes to the safety of the people that came to the event and the crew that toiled away in yesterday’s intense heat to get the event up and running, we didn’t see an option.

Let’s hope for better weather for next week’s event. Bringing Up Baby would be another perfect movie to see with 1000 of your closest friends under the stars. See you there.
