If anyone wonders what outdoor movie theaters will look like in the future, look no further than what the folks at the Sacramento Bicycle Kitchen are doing. Find a projector, get some relevant billing (documentary or bike flick) and blast that image onto the side of a building. Reminds me of one of the all-time greatest film scenes I know of (see above)…

Tomorrow night, the group is showing one of my favorite docs, “Who Killed the Electric Car?” (well timed with today’s announcement in the Bee that a Vermont federal judge ruled against Big Auto’s lawsuit against state regulations — ahem, lead by our own great state’s Assembly Bill 1493, adopted 5 years ago, ahem — requiring a decrease in “climate-warming emissions” in automobiles sold in the state by 30% by 2016).

And, to lighten the fare, they’re also showing, Breaking Away, dubbed on the flyer as “quite possibly the best cycling movie ever made” and 8th on the List of America’s 100 Most Inspiring Movies compiled by The American Film Institute in 2006.

The weather’s turning (I rode against gusts yesterday), so catch this last of the summer-type activity while you can.
