No tickets to tonight’s game?  Here’s another option for outdoor entertainment: the U Street Movie Series.  This summer movie  series kicks off tonight with This Is It.  Gates open at Harrison Field at 7 PM, and the movie will start at 8:30.  And if you’re one of the first 100 people there, you’ll get free popcorn!

Music-themed movies will be shown at Harrison Field on the second Tuesday of every month this summer, so mark your calendar for Buena Vista Social Club on July 13, The Soloist on August 10, and Soul Power and Duke Ellington’s Washington on September 14.

Now here’s something to look forward to: every Thursday night beginning June 3rd, the Capitol Riverfront BID will screen movies at the future site of Canal Park.  They need your help now to pick the best movies that fit this summer’s “Ultimate Underdog” theme.  Rudy, Forrest Gump, Finding Nemo, Miracle– there are so many to choose from, so go vote for your favorites now.  And in just a few short months, you can grab a blanket, head to Navy Yard, and watch your favorite characters triumph over adversity.

Last year the theme was 80s movies, and just looking through their pictures is getting me excited about outdoor movie season!
