We really enjoyed seeing this documentary last night and meeting the film maker. It all means so much to us since we know Sinatra's desert quite well! We also had our Star Gazing Party but we would have had to leave early and this was a one of a kind event. We'll get to the star gazing when we come back in Feb. It will be warmer then anyway for being outside.
Even though we were a half hour early, we just made the cut to get in. There must have been over 300 people in attendance. Great to see these events so well supported...and free, of course.
