Pee Weeing

Monday, we packed up some mango salsa, fancy beer and our camp chairs for an outdoor viewing of Pee Wee's Big Adventure at Millennium Park, sponsored by Bike Chicago. It was a fitting tribute to Hector, my stolen bike. It also made me worry that I didn't try hard enough to get him back.

The movie was shown in the Pritzker Pavillion. We met with some friends a little early to snag a patch of grass with a decent view and share our snacks. We also tried to chat, which was difficult with the blaring background music. The playlist consisted of every song they could think of with the word "Chicago" in the lyrics. Then they started playing songs by Chicago.
We get it. We're in Chicago.

It's been a long while since I've seen this film, and I liked it more than I remembered. Maybe it was the glorious scenery that colored my mood.
