PM: Ellington Jury Stops Until Monday

Dressed as wrestler, Tom Flanigan, 38, of Spokane, show a little muscle as he poses for a picture with movie and TV actor, Matthew Modine, 52, during a flash mob gathering today at the north end of Riverfront Park in Spokane, Wash. Dozens gathered in the park to participate in a "run the bridges just like Louden Swain." Modine played high school wrestler, Swain, in the 1985 movie filmed in Spokane titled "Vision Quest". Flanigan says he is a cult follower of the movie and has seen it 50 times. A small group, excluding Modine, completed the run across 3 Riverfront Park bridges. The actor is in Spokane to participate in the Spokane International Film Festival. SR story here. (SR photo: Dan Pelle)
