Silent Barn In The Movies!

A while before I lived at the wonderful Silent Barn, one of the coolest DIY show spaces in the city, it was rented out for a few days to shoot a scene for a movie. This has been discussed for a long time, but we never even knew exactly what the movie was about or when it would come out. Well, recently, this movie, Solitary Man starring Michael Douglas was released. Here's the trailer (you can see Silent Barn at the 1:43 and 2:10 marks):

I met up with past and present Silent Barn residents (as well as friends of The Barn) at the house and we shotgunned a couple of beers and then decided to head out for the movie. Here are some BarnBerry pixxx of the adventure:

Good ol' G. Lucas Crane (of Nonhorse and Woods) chilling with the vibraphone...

A very stoic Nat Roe, he lives in my old room now...Kunal (he does that cool Baby Castles Stuff) was rocking a very nice flip-flops with socks look while we waited for the bus...
The crew at the bus stop... it was windy...
Bus on the way to BAM
We eventually go to the movie, the B26 goes basically door to door (buses rule!) from the Barn to BAM. We smuggled in some beers, of course and got ready to see our house on the big screen...
The movie was terrible, like maybe the worst movie, like borderline unwatchable. But it was true, Silent Barn was in the movie.
At one point, Michael Douglas has hit rock bottom in New York so he goes to get a job back where he went to college, at Harvard... Silent Barn comes in when he goes to a party at an "eclectic" house... you could see everything, the couches that hundreds of touring band members have slept on, the mason jars in the kitchen, the murals on the wall. The Barn looked great, the movie not so much...



Man, i miss that place :(
