ORGANIZED IN PART BY TURN OUT THAT LIGHT TACOMA >>>
Tacoma's populace has proven to embrace beer, hot dogs and movies over the years. What it hasn't proven to be supportive of is digital billboards getting shoved down its throat.
What do these two facts have in common?
The answer: Tonight's Movie Night at the Red Hot, where Turn Out That Light Tacoma (a grassroots organization raising in opposition to Clear Channel's push for digital billboards in the 253) has helped organize a showing of John Carpenter's They Live. The action starts at 8 p.m.
The ubiquitous Tacoma Urbanist, Erik Bjornson, reached out with some reasons to support this event.
From Bjornson's email ...
There are a lot of reasons to see the movie including:
1) It is being shown at the hyper local Red Hot, which is reason enough.
2) The movie is relevant to the threat of digital billboards being forced into Tacoma
3) The movie stars "Rowdy" Roddy Piper movie has been rated as having the 7th best fight scene of ANY MOVIE in the history of the world.
Sure enough, we've fact checked the Urbanist's statements, and they all hold true.
Here's a clip from the movie...
