2010.07.30 - Paramount Theater

Proscenium

Great Entrance

Tonight was my first introduction to the great Paramount Theater in Oakland, California (http://www.paramounttheatre.com/).  Wow, wow, wow.  We went to see the original King Kong in black in white.  Before the show there was a cartoon and an organist.  I felt like I was taken back in time ... and I loved it.  I can't wait to go back.
