Hitchcocktails at the Grand Cinema

Last night the Grand finished a very successful fundraiser at 21 Commerce (a restaurant and martini bar in downtown Tacoma). I was particularly proud of the event and the astounding turnout because I had come up with the central reason for having it: Hitchcock martinis, including the Vertigo, Psycho, and Notorious martini, and the Grand got a dollar from each sale. In fact, doing the fundraiser and having the martinis was the reason I really wanted to do the entire series (well, at least the first reason among many).

It's also a chance to see many good good movies on the big screen. I am particularly excited about the seeing Rebecca, which I saw on a small 12" TV with Sara V. at Carleton my junior year. I feel that if the level of my enjoyment of the film is proportional to the size of the screen, I'm in for a real treat on Wednesday. :)
