Movie Night on the Green
I arrived at about 5:30pm. The "Company" that puts on this Movie Night on the Green, is a one-man-show. Driving a van with a trailer, full of high tech "movie" stuff and an inflatible screen, he sit up at 6:00pm and was "putting down" at 11:45pm. Long night.
It was breezy. It was cold in he Stable. The night navy blue with an abundance of stars displayed across the horizon. The ridge was crowned in silver clouds and a half moon beaming down from above. The airline jets blinked across the sky.
About 60 people sat in the darkness in the Green next to the Mission. The Mission hallway was lit up in yellow, cut out like scoops of ice cream the Mission was lit up with its outline in dark blue sky.
The loud system was loud and clear as Tinker Bell, Captain Hook, and Peter Pan battled through a chilly night in San Juan.
We sold alot of hot co coa and pop corn.

Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
I drove from Kingsburg to Hollister, California. I had taken in a Music in the Park night in Kingsburg, listening to the Kingsburg Community Band (my sister plays Bass Clarinet) with my 90 year old Mom.
From 102 degrees weather (at starting time of 7 oclock "PM") to the cool evening of Friday July 20th
in downtown Hollister. I drove my gf and her best friend Bree to the musical. In the entrance of the theater a lady had some cards to send to the cast to encourage them and make comments.
After being seated we sat in the middle of the auditorium, listening to the brass and string band playing the music of the time (Pre Civil War Era America) and out come the singers and actors and "dang" if not one but two of them Ive known for some 17 years, Tony and Jeanette Schneider. Tony played Judge Thatcher (that means Tony plays Becky Thatchers Dad). Is that cool or what! Later on after the musical I got to meet Michael Frelier, who plays Tom Sawyer. That means I got to met Tom Sawyer.
At the Intermission I got to send a message to Tony and Jeanette and afterwards in the street where the audience got to meet the cast, Jeanette acknowledged she and Tony had received my note to them.
And I got to introduce them to my gf and Bree. That was alot of fun.
The music was really good and the singing was very good. Robert Summers (who plays Jim) has a great voice and Tyler Savin (who plays Huckleberry) did a great job dancing, singing, and acting. There is alot of enthusiasm in "Big River" and I highly recommend it. They sell pop corn with seasoning too (the same assortment as at the local movie theater). Directed by Sarah Smith and produced by Anne Hall.
This is the Granada Theatre at 336 Fifth Street in Hollister.
Great Fun!
Note: This is Jeanette Schneider in the foreground behind the Castro-Breen Adobe at the San Juan Bautista History Park.

Awesome Pictorials and Video of the Saloon
Flickr "Loving the Light, Plaza Hotel, San Juan State Historic Park" and Vimeo: Bettina and Uwe Steinmueller "San Juan Bautisa Plaza Hotel"
Both these sites (which are on Goggle) are awesome sites to see the Plaza Hotel and our "Saloon".
The Flickr site is incredible along with pictures of Mission along the Central Coast and Sacramento.
