First of all, "Pretty in Pink" was screening and I have a certain fondness for 80s films and for Molly Ringwald =) It was a weird that it happen to be showing the same week John Hughes died. Ryan, the guy behind the event, spoke to the crowd how they had plan this 2 months prior and had no idea it would screen the same week as John Hughes passing. Ryan then introduced an editor here in Los Angeles who had cut together a tribute to John Hughes a few years back and put it on YouTube. We were lucky enough to see it on the big screen.
What I love about this event is they make it an event ! There was a photo booth where you can put on crowns and sashes and get your 'prom" photo taken. There was a Duckie dance off and a prom king & queen competition where winners won items such as Legally Blonde theater tickets and XBox 360 consoles. If you were hungry, there were those mobile Kogi-like trucks around. During the movie, people were clapping and whenever Ducky shows up, there were hooting and shouts of "Ducky !!!".
Honestly I didn't realized I would this much fun =)
