I can go on and on about all the great things you’re going to enjoy at this year’s event, but you’ll just have to wait until you get there to find out. MacArthur Bart station is 4 blocks away if you don’t want to fuss over parking. Bring water, a warm coat for the movie and a chair to rest in between playing and dancing.
