FRIDAY PICK | Caroline Smith and Mike Myers, together at last
Music and movies in the park have become a staple of Twin Cities summers, with local park boards emulating the success of the two big-dog series run by the Walker Art Center (in Loring Park) and Vita.mn (at the Lake Harriet Bandshell); it seems like there are more movies to be seen in Twin Cities parks this summer than there are available for streaming on Netflix.
If you're going to see just one movie in the park this summer, though, you could do worse than to catch the 1993 cult classic So I Married an Axe Murderer. Will Caroline Smith and the GoodNight Sleeps, playing before the film, cover "There She Goes"? Let's hope!
