Outdoor Socializing, Brown Bag Supper, and a Movie

We have a very interesting social event planned. You'll have an opportunity to immerse yourself in the unique culture of Highland Park in the summertime, plus meet fellow UXPA NJ members, and more. Here's the rundown:

This year's Highland Park Outdoor Movie Theater, now in its 12th year, is featuring DEFCON, a documentary about the annual hacker convention in Las Vegas NV. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEF_CON The movie, which is 1 hour and 50 minutes long, will be followed by live questions and answers with director Jason Scott.

Free popcorn is provided by our town, and ample folding chairs as well, though you are welcome to bring your own, or even a blanket. Local teens staff the concession table, and the taco truck might even be open. The tacos are vegetarian, and great. Alternately, the famous Pad Thai restaurant is open until 9:00 pm. Here's their website: https://www.pad-thai.com/. They are literally across the street (Route 27) from the municipal lot where the movie is held. Their Pad Thai costs $15.95, and their Chicken Satay appetizer costs $9.95, as examples.

At 7:30 pm, look for our UXPA NJ tent card on one of the picnic tables under the pavillion. Around 9:00 pm, after the cartoons are over, we'll find ourselves some of the free folding chairs provided, and watch the movie together.

You can bring your own supper if you prefer--or avail yourself of one of the above options. There are a number of picnic tables under the pavilion.

If you need transportation to and from the New Brunswick train station, email Josephine to arrange in advance at josephinegiaimo@gmail.com. You can also call her (no texts, please), at (732) 501-6312. Rain and electricity don't get along, so if the weather is bad, the event will be postponed.

How is the summer treating you? This year, I harvested my garlic in June, and planted my tomato plants which I bought from the Farmer's Market. The dill is doing well, and the cucumbers are growing, too. Lots of kale, lettuce, and other veggies.
