Thanks Harriette, that we always can be up-to-date with your private little war against Reef Village and everything that smell like them - it's really exciting! Thanks, that you tell us why people come to San Pedro and what people want and do not want. I'm not sure if this forum should be subject of your private frustration?

What i do is get a DVD form Tech Transylvania and watch at my leisure.

.... and I really like Elbert who does the same over and over again - private war - and all in public! He's the guy who fights for environment with a "solar suck"-attitude and in the end posts that he rather buys illegal copies of movies from a San Pedro shop instead of watching movies in cinemas - I'm again very impressed, Elbert!

I see all the concerns - lost business - too many seats - too expensive and the bridge pass is already calculated in the worries (I think I'm going to walk across the bridge and will buy 2 drinks from the money I saved!:-)

When I read all the concerns I think: "why can't these people be happy anymore? Be excited about something new? a next step?"

My message is" Hurray - some culture and new night life in San Pedro! Wow, my favorite movies really big in the atmosphere with many people around, popcorn, ice cream and people stretching their bones after the movie - a smile in their eyes - "The Painted Veil", "Frida" or "Gran Torino" on a big screen, Tammy might present a writer reading parts of her/his book, and in summer the kids of the summer camp play any stage play and feel like real theater actors and their parents very proud in the audience, "Lorrie Morgan", "Garth Brooks" or "Christopher Cross" on stage and maybe a reunion? That sounds really good to me and I ask myself: Why are there soooo many people who seem to be so mad? Man - the sky is blue and the sun shines and: no shirt - no shoes - no problem and still lots of people just see dark clouds on the horizon!?
Maybe one day Bobby McFerrin will be on this stage and will sing: "Don't worry - be happy" - Harriette & Elbert may I then invite you to the show - just for this one song? But I don't have a bridge pass - hope that's no problem!?
