Crystal Screen 2010: Star Trek

A great and free way to spend Monday nights. I’ve been to all but two of the screenings so far (look, I love Star Trek but I don’t love it enough to get rained on for two hours) and it’s an excellent venue for a picnic. I always make some light salads to share with friends (and a bottle of grape juice on the down low never goes amiss) but I see plenty of people bringing pizza, fast food, or carryout with them.
Bring a blanket/​tarp or towel. I bring a chair but be courteous and sit with your chairs toward the outer edges so you don’t block the groundlings!
The Sweetflow truck makes a regular appearance, by the way, so test your willpower or just give in and have some froyo.

Crystal Screen is an annual outdoor film festival in the Crystal City section of Arlington, VA. Every Monday night, from June 7, 2010 through August 16, 2010, catch a different Star Trek movie on the giant outside screen. Movies start promptly at sundown (whatever that means!)
There’s easy Metro access and a few vendors to provide drinks and snacks.
Live Long and Prosper, Crystal Screen!
