The 1984 film was directed and co-written by Rob Reiner, who plays a filmmaker out to document the comeback tour of his favorite heavy metal rockers, the band “Spinal Tap.” The idea goes back to a 1979 TV movie pilot called “The TV Show.” It brought together Reiner, Christopher Guest and Harry Shearer as writers and, along with Michael McKean, included a skit about an over-the-hill British metal band called Spinal Tap. Four years later they co-wrote and starred in the full-length movie, which was also Reiner’s first theatrically released directorial effort.
The movie has since won a place in the pantheon of pop culture where it is referenced hundreds of times. For example, at one point in the film, lead guitarist Nigel Tufnel (Guest), utters the now-famous line, “These go to eleven,” when referring to the volume settings on the band’s rather unique Marshall amplifiers. Since then, several companies have marketed amps that actually do “go to eleven.”
Doors open at 7:00 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. showings. Tickets are $5 and will be available at the door. Advance tickets are available at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam and City Drug in Aberdeen, and at www.brownpapertickets.com. For more information call 360-537-7400 or check the website, www.7thstreettheatre.com.

One 12-year-old girl got her wish for a castle when the artistry of one of our Ice Carving contestants carved a crystal ice castle complete with towers. Dad got his chance to fly a drone and ask all the questions he had about taking care of one. Eight-year-old Chelsea loves dolphins and bought a glass one leaping out of a glass wave. Grandpa and fifteen-year-old Dean took a ton of pictures of all the hot rods and fancy restored cars. Mom bought a blue heron carved spruce wood bench for the patio. Dora’s family went home with the newest in pots and pans. Finally, George left a note remembering his lost friend and listened to taps being played at the Memorial Day remembrance service.
A home show, with ice carving demonstrations, a hot rod car show, an art show with live artists working, chainsaw carving and auctions, and a Memorial Day Service are all part of the weekend. And that doesn’t even count all the games, the big purple slide, the pony rides and all the great food available.
