Two further guidelines in addition to the $5 Tuesdays at the Capitola Theater that was suggested originally by Joanna Bowen:
--Santa Cruz Cinema also has $5 Tuesdays. (Thanks for pointing this out, Deborah Taylor.)
--and a general point no matter where you are this weekend, you are advised to make advanced reservations. By Tuesday or Wednesday, it may have calmed down, but I suggest checking ahead now to see if space is available. For instance, I just checked (Saturday at about noon) and the 7pm showings on Tuesday are almost sold out at the Santa Cruz Cinema, although earlier in the day there are lots of openings now, which may not be there if you wait and don't have a reservation. (Thanks, Lynn Dunn, for letting us know about the scene this weekend.)
Thank you, LTATM members for giving us information and your experiences. Hope to see you on Wednesday evening. And enjoy!
