(mostly) Free Events This Summer There are several reoccurring events this summer that you might want to know about. It would be cool to do some of these events together. You know, that whole "community" thing that Christ is always talking about. :-) First, Firefly at the Mission Theatre Each Tuesday the Mission Theatre (NW 17th & Glisan) will be showing two episodes of Firefly til they finish the series. The admission is free, and the episodes start at 10pm, though it is 21-and-over only. Free, i would like to add, is a very good price! # Tues. 7/10: "Serenity -- Part 1 & 2" [official McMenamins listing] # Tues. 7/17: "The Train Job" and "Bushwacked" # Tues. 7/24: "Shindig" and "Safe" # Tues. 7/31: "Our Mrs. Reynolds" and "Jaynestown" # Tues. 8/7: "Out of Gas" and "Ariel" # Tues. 8/14: "War Stories" and "Trash" # Tues. 8/21: "The Message" and "Heart of Gold" # Tues. 8/28: "Objects in Space" (and possible bonus content) Second, Movies in the park Portland Parks and Recreation is doing a series of movies in the parks around Portland.
