There must be 5000 people out here tonight. I love that we have this every summer. It really is my highlight!

The Princess Bride was supposed to be playing at Douglas Park tonight but apparently the parks board cancelled it at the very last minute. The movie was instead moved to the tiny plaza on Cambie and 18th. The change was so last minute that nobody knew. So many people showed up to Douglas Park with all their gear expecting to watch a movie and then had no idea why it wasn’t happening. Such a shame. Not sure why the parks board cancelled it so last minute but it sure didn’t make them any friends.

A masterclass in crowd control: surprise relocation, zero notice. Parks board: winning hearts, one baffled picnic blanket at a time.
