RiverFlicks for Grown-Ups - Pineapple Express

FreeNYC Event Flyer

Date: Wednesday, August 19th
Time: Dusk (around 8:30pm)
Location: Pier 54 (14th St. and the Hudson River)
Cost: Free

On top of getting to watch movies overlooking Hudson River on beautiful summer nights, the other thing I like about River Flicks is that every year they pick a central theme for their screenings. This year's they "know what you did last summer" and screen films released in 2008. Tonight is the finale of this summer's series, and what better way to go out than with last year's stoner classic Pineapple Express.

Tonight at Glasslands, "'Radio Star', written and performed by Tanya O'Debra with original music by Andrew Mauriello, is a 1940's-style radio detective spoof. Miss O'Debra will lend her voice to roughly ten different characters while simultaneously staging silly sound effects. Watch (but mainly listen) as Nick McKittrick: Private Dick hilariously solves a murder in "The Case of the Long-Distance Lover". Miss O'Debra will be bringing this show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival!!! Yay!!! Please come and give her your opinion."
