Johnny Cupcakes

An inside look on how this whole Johnny Cupcakes Presents movie nights came about. My dad took my mom on dates here before I was born!

I had the pleasure of teaming up with The Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline once again, to present another one of my childhood favorites.

You can’t see it from this photo, but those are goldfish + water inside of those heels. Part of the night I felt like Pee-wee Herman, however– at times I felt like a stripper (from the shoes). See video at bottom of post.

Thanks for snagging my camera to take photos Joe!

I think one of my favorite things to observe, are what people do to occupy themselves in line. Some customers played scrabble!

As movie goers entered the Theatre, we gave out Tongue Splashers bubble gum– which makes your mouth change colors. I thought it would be fitting to go along with the scene where Pee-wee give Francis the blue-mouth trick bubble gum. Thank you for the gift Amanda. I knew I’d have a use for this!

We also gave out free pins to everyone. A little inspirational twist to the Johnny Cupcakes logo.

As the theater filled up, we cued the Tequila song in prep for the the Pee-wee dance competition, which was hilarious! A girl one, who was wearing flip-flops while she flawlessly stood on her tippy toes and danced across stage. Another kid who came in second place for the truffle shuffle contest at The Goonies showing, ended up doing the truffle shuffle during this Pee-wee contest (after the entire crowd chanted)- it was awesome.

All that was missing was my Dottie. See you all at Ferris Bueller’s Day off next month! Saturday, September 26th at midnight.
