Fishy Movie Night - Tonight!

Yes, you could stay home tonight and watch the first of the three Presidential debates. But since you already know who you're going to vote for, head down to the Galaxy Theater in Gig Harbor tonight for Gig Harbor Fly Shop's screening of Low and Clear and River as Spirit: Rebirth of the Elwha.

In addition to the fine films and craft suds from 7 Seas Brewing, there will be a raffle featuring a Scott Fiberhammer switch rod graciously arranged for by Cameron at The Fiberglass Manifesto, as well as some very nice Patagonia gear.

The films start at 7:00 and tickets are available for $10 in the shop, and $12 at the door.

Lunchtime in Sacajamea Park: White cavalry tents shield crew and company from the mountain sun, as Redford sits alone beside his aluminum teapot of a trailer, a classic Airstream. Like "River's" props, it might as well be vintage. He's immersed himself in the Macleans' era, hanging photos of their family, reading Paul's newspaper columns, playing Norman's taped lectures and studying his letters.

The Washington Post did this in-depth background piece on A River Runs Through It just prior to the movies premier in D.C. in October of 1992.
