We have a tradition at Cinéma sur le toit, and it involves Patrick Swayze, who we love and miss dearly. Something about the man's filmography taps into the spirit of our little event, and so, for the past two years, we've shown one of his films. Ever since we started doing that, we've had more requests for one particular film than any other. And they've come, unanimously, from our female attendees.
So the ladies have spoken, and rooftop movies are listening: the movie is Dirty Dancing. Which seems appropriate, being a movie about the end of the summer, and, barring some more late-season heat waves, this being the last hurrah for this season of rooftop movies.
I've been trying to get around to this one for a few weeks now, but scheduling has been a bear. So now we find ourselves at the tail end of September, the very last days where one can generally spend two hours on a 10th story rooftop in this town without needing to huddle together for warmth by the end of the night. At the moment, it looks like the weather should be pretty OK this week, so we're going to take a shot at Wednesday evening, September 29. So come on out for one last evening on the roof; bring a drink, bring a friend, bring a snack, and -- if I can play the part of your mother for just a moment -- bring a jacket, just in case it gets chilly up there by the time Johnny finally rescues Baby from that corner. We'll get started around 9 or so.
