The Castro Theater is great for viewing films but not so easy for snapping photographs of the interior.
Check out this picture the snack bar. There...behind the popcorn popper. Can you spot it?
Now that you understand the limited power of the flash on my camera...
Let's just go on a quick tour of the mezzanine upstairs.
Noir City merchandise galore! There were also a number of opportunities for author signings.
Film noir ashtrays!
Green Apple Books provided a selection of titles of interest to fans of film noir.
There were also movie stills and posters for sale.
Plus, raffle drawings for prizes every night!
Part of the allure of Noir City is the free booze, but, you have to be willing to wait in line.
On the first night of Noir City, mixologist Mathias Simonis poured drinks sponsored by Akvinta Vodka.
On British Noir Night, they gave us gin and tonics sponsored by No. 209 gin.
On Friday Night, Four Roses Bourbon was the sponsor, and I had a bourbon cocktail that was minty and quite good.
In the background, you can see Miss Noir City 12, burlesque performer Evie Lovelle, posing for photographs with festival patrons.
That's the best I could manage. I will leave the rest to the professional photographers! There were lots of them milling about with blinding flash cameras far more powerful than mine.
But, what about the films?
I'll cover the ones that I saw in my next post!
