The biggest outdoor screen in a 30 mile radius

Written by Dan

We made a trip over to the Old Firehouse on Commercial Street last night to test out the projector. I was afraid the image wouldn't look bright enough from our planned set-up point, but boy was I wrong. The image looks incredible! It's huge!!! I think this will be one of the best Moxie A Go-Go's to date. There's going to be beer and popcorn (just like at the theater), and all the concession proceeds will go to the Commercial Club, which is the organization responsible for the continuing renovation of the Commercial Street district. Here's a super sweet mock-up of how everything's going to play out:

Just to the East of the firehouse is a big open garden, where everyone will be encouraged to sprawl out and watch the film. Bordering the opposite side of the garden is an old three story building that's been painted stark white... that's our screen. To give you an idea of how large the image will be, here's yet another descriptive picture:

As you can see, even Charles Atlas himself is dwarfed by the gigantic visage of Yakov's head, which is in turn smurfed by the mightiness of Buster Keaton's torso! It's spectacular! Now I'm trying to think of more reasons to utilize this amazing space. Too good to believe? Show up Saturday night and see for yourself. It's gonna rock your block into your sock, doc!

We shall try to get "Superman Returns:The IMAX Experience" for it, because the Branson IMAX is too cheap to show it. Like David Glass cheap.
