SAVE SCREEN ON THE GREEN!! Thanks for posting this. It seems like not enough DC residents (and metro residers alike) care about this.

Monday nights in summer are all about getting to the Mall super-early, claiming blanket turf, and flagging down my friends one by one until it’s time for the HBO Dance. This is going to be a strange summer without Screen on the Green.

I didn’t even get to go last year… I was really looking forward to some picnics with you and Foggy Dew. Sigh.

If we can find a Washingtonian sugar daddy, I’ll do my part…

I still can’t believe there will be no Screen on the Green. I wonder how much each of us, those of us complaining, could raise? I could stop paying for HBO and give those funds to Screen on the Green, right?

I hate when shit like that gets cut….. I hope you find your gazillionaire (or better yet, I hope you become one- then you can save it and still have change to spare!)
