   As a Ballard Dad, I'm always wondering what to do with the kids on rainy weeknights. Do we wander the aisles of QFC? Dance in the rain outside Bop Street? Well, now there's another option! Ballard Pizza Company is starting a weekly movie night in our back room! We'll be playing a kids-style movie from 4:30pm-6:30pm every Wednesday, followed by a movie more suited for the grownups. This week we have a private party in the room on Wednesday, so we're going to be moving movie night to Tuesday (tonight!).

   We'll be showing Rango at 4:30pm (for the kids), and Mystery Science Theatre 3000 at 7pm (for the big kids). All are welcome!

   I heard "Zero Dark Thirty" is a great choice for the early kids slot;)

   Is homework not an option anymore?

   Sounds like fun to me and now that Crash Landing is closed, we have been wondering where we'll go to get Pizza. Thanks for posting, Marty. We won't be able to make it tonight but we'll definitely check it out.

   We used to have this place back home and as kids really enjoyed it.

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_Round

   Ground Round was well known in the 1970s and 1980s for its children's parties, showing old time silent movies and cartoons on a big screen, a mascot named Bingo the Clown, and for passing out whole peanuts where diners were not discouraged from throwing the shells on the floor, which became one of The Ground Round's more endearing qualities that attracted families with small children; they also often gave diners popcorn with their dinner, rather than bread. The newest incarnation of Ground Round doesn't support such behavior and markets to the adult dining and cocktails crowd, although families are still welcome (a mascot called the Ground Round Hound, an anthropomorphic hound dog, appears on the kids' menu).

   Is this the place that refuses to tell you what the night's special is?

   What? You call them up on the phone and they won't tell you? Odd.

    I think it is this place. They say it is the Chet's surprise and assure you it is good. sure, I am allergic to mushrooms, don't like pepperoni, , olives, certain cheeses, but OK, fine, I'll pay $20 for it and just open a can of soup if I don't like it!!

    As I remember from my college dorm days, "Chef's Surprise" was never a good thing.
    Edited to add: "Chef's Surprise" at a pizza place where people go to pick their own favorite combination? Doesn't really make sense.

    I applaud the choice of MST3K. I wish I wouldn't have had to work or I would have been tempted to go!

    I didn't know about it until too late, but yes I would likely show up for MST3K.

    Great idea, Marty, thanks! We love BPC (the Whole Hog is our family favorite) and wish you all the success in the world.

    SmartsyArtsy: No, this isn't the place. They've told me their special when I call for delivery, since I have some allergy limitations. I will say I'm glad I asked, as I ordered something else even though I could eat the special.

    "They say it is the Chet's surprise and assure you it is good."

    I would be dubious about that.
    it's probably a nice greasy pork sandwich, served out of a dirty ashtray.

    the pizza at BPC is very good--especially the arugula topping.
