So, before all this rain I had brought my RV, $1500 HD projector, $1200 18.5' HD screen and $2000 DJ sound system up to Spring Valley NY to a "retirement community" where a friend resides along with $75 worth of hotdogs and hamburgers including grill (yeah they have no grill) and created a true movie experience ("It's complicated" quick redbox pic went over real well) for about 60 elderly folks right on their front lawn. Spring Valley is not the best of areas... and normally this street has all sorts of music playing at night with gunshots often heard nearby (not Mosh). With the sound cranked nearly full all you could hear & feel was the movie.
We had planned on doing it again this weekend and quite a few more during this fall season EXCEPT... last week someone from a tow yard helped themselves to my projector. It's now on the hotlist and hasn't showed up at the pawnshop. I guess the sound system was too big and luckily they didn't recognize a giant HD blow up screen rolled up in a box. Even left the $300 blueray.
A new decent projector is not in next weeks/months budget and I don't want to buy a new cheap one. BUT, if someone happened to have an old working cheap one to donate or even lend... the shows could at least go on during the upcoming best weather of the year.
If you'd seen how happy these people were... many in wheelchairs.. a bunch who never leave their rooms... many haven't been to a movie in who know's how long, several with no tv's in their room. And enjoying GOOD food for once, you'd know what I mean.
Yeah there were 2 or 3 complainers who had their own fun calling security the whole time who simply ignored their calls until the movie was over, but over all they all had an awesome time, many of them telling me so.
