Bonus Outdoor Movie Night Added In Mission Creek Park

If you were despondent when Film Night in the Park's 2013 season ended last month with Skyfall in Dolores Park, then here's your good news, outdoor movie fan: movie nights just went into the post-season. We may not have baseball, but we do have one more chance to watch a movie outdoors. (This analogy is flawless.)

Mr. October in this case is Michael Keaton in the titular role of the 1988 horror-comedy classic, Beetlejuice. Note that the venue is new and neighborhood advocates are trying to get butts on the grass, but Mission Creek Park looks nice and has a smallish built-in amphitheater. So, it's got that going for it. Also, Bicycle Bahn Mi will be selling sandwiches and because it's been getting dark earlier showtime is at 7 p.m.

For a nice fall weather drink pairing, match Tim Burton's gothy aesthetic with a nice bourbon and apple cider drink. We like the Vasco de Gama — a mix of bourbon, scotch and spiced apple syrup made with black peppercorn, cardamom, cloves and chili. It's a mix of sweet and spicy flavors that play off each other like Keaton and Winona Ryder. (It that recipe is too complex, just mix up a thermos of hot apple cider with a traveler bottle of bourbon.)

Friday, October 18th: Beetlejuice in Mission Creek Park, 7 p.m.
