71. Watch "Ghostbusters" in a movie theater [link]

OK. So I didn't see Ghostbusters in a movie theater, but I feel like an outdoor screening counts just the same. There was a fairly large sized screen, a fantastic sound system, and great seats (that is if you don't mind sitting in grass). I'm counting it.

This was my first time seeing Ghostbusters on a screen larger than 25", and while it wasn't the greatest experience ever, I had a decent enough time...

The Central Georgia Ghostbusters were on hand, taking pictures with kids and interacting with the crowd. A great set of guys who did an awesome job carrying on the spirit of the Ghostbusters...even if their "No Ghost" patches are on the wrong shoulder.

The CGB's Ecto-1G - a modified Dodge Magnum, equipped with light bar, lambo doors, and 22" rims. It's not quite Ecto-1, but man if it doesn't look fly. Very Atlanta-ish.

The CGB's also brought their proton packs to the showing. They didn't let the kiddies get too close without supervision (for fear of all of the molecules in their body exploding at the speed of light) but as I am a "responsible adult," I was able to get close enough to snap a few pics.

"They showed Ghostbusters at 'Screen on the Green'? Wow. Normally they show bad movies like 'Footloose'."

They probably would have shown "Footloose" if my fellow Ghostheads didn't vote for it. Much love to fansites like Proton Charging that got the word out. I promise you, I wouldn't have made the trip to go see "Big" or "The Princess Bride."

At 7:oo there was already a ton of people packed onto The Great Lawn of Atlanta's Centennial Park. There were just as many people behind and to the side of me. Considering that it was a beautiful day and they were showing a classic movie, I can't say I was too surprised.

By the time the sun fell and the movie started, the place was PACKED. Finding a clear spot of grass to claim became an adventure in and of itself.

I really wanted a good clear shot ot the title screen with the ATL Skyline behind it, but my camera didn't want to cooperate with me. Way to let me down Nikon.

All in all, I had a good time. It probably would have been better if I haven't been OD'ing on all things Ghostbusters for the past three weeks. Well that and if people knew how to raise their damn kids. Litte bad ass muthaf...
