This Saturday evening I will be waiting for you too. This invitation does not mean that I want to do anything or talk during the movie. But when the darkness leaves the theatre, perhaps we will look into each other's eyes, smile, decide to get a cup of coffee and share a conversation over what we just saw.

::::People picked up on the idea of going to the theatre alone and wearing a white hat. Then others expressed intrest in hearing the stories of people who met each other. Thus this page was born, a little place where we can come to share our stories. Whether you have been to the movies alone dozens of times, or never tried it we invite you to join us. If you're going to the movies alone Saturday night wear a white hat and say hello. Or even if you have someone to go with, reach out to someone new. You never know what conversation will be sparked by making a new friend.
Here are a few of the messages from people who have been moved to help make White Hat Stories happen:

I'm a manager at a movie theater, so I tend to work on Saturdays. We're not allowed to wear hats at work, but I'm going to get a whileheadband and wear it every Saturday. Come say hi! Tell me about your movie, I would love to hear about it!

I have plenty of friends, and I get out to see them at least once or twice a week.But somehow, when I'm with them, I always feel alone.So maybe this weekend I'll wear a white hat.Thank you.

if i were brave enough, i'd wear a white hat to the movies by myself. but the truth is, i'm not brave enough. i don't know if i ever will be. so forthe rest of you white hatters, i hope everything goes just as you want itto. let me know what happens!
i believe in all of you.

Hi Becky,
Thank you for creating this Blog. I look forward to reading some stories after Saturday and seeing some pictures too. I am married but I talked my wife into letting me go to the Bethesda Row Theatres with a white hat on to say "hi" to any other white-hatters.
Be well,
-Frank
