Backyard movies became a big deal for my wife and me last summer.
This summer, again, we’ve been hosting outdoor gatherings with friends and neighbors to watch movies projected onto a giant screen.
We’ve done two such events so far, one in our big yard and another in our cozier adjacent patio, with at least a couple more in the works this season.
This has been so much fun that I decided to write about it for the Pioneer Press.
I did two stories. One is about my backyard-movie adventures over the past two years.
Another story focuses on three Twin Cities households that make me look like an amateur in the backyard-movie department. (I later found out about a fourth such effort.)
I haven’t enjoyed tackling a reporting topic this much since I wrote about cosplayers.
Here are some photos from a recent showing of “The Incredibles” in my backyard:
