(no subject)

Had a party yesterday. It was good. I'm not sure why kestrell thinks she has to get lots of movies for these parties; not many actually get shown, and even fewer get attention paid to them. Seems like, unless the explicit purpose of the party is movie-watching, the best kind of party movies are those that everyone pretty much already knows, so they can go in and out as the fancy takes them, and not lose the plot. Subtitles are also a Good Thing.

Having (many) opposite qualities to my wife turns out to have yet another useful side effect: she's good at party set up, and I'm good at clean up.

Coming up:
Wednesday, 8/18: Knightriders, starting at 8:00 sharp. No short subject, as it's a lengthy feature. I suggest that people who want to order food do some advance planning, so the start time doesn't get missed (feel free to use comments here to do so).

Wednesday, 8/25: The Lion in Winter, with special guest lecture by gyzki -- further details TBD.

Nothing on 9/1, unless dance is starting up then. I want to get to bed early the night before Worldcon!

I'll be there on Wednesday. I'm up for ordering food or bringing snacks, and I can get there a bit early to negotiate with the other food-orderers.

I'll be in Minnesota on 8/25. I'm not a fan of Lion in Winter (saw it too many times in high school) but it's too bad I'll miss the benefit of gyzki's commentary.

Here's hoping that there's no dance on 9/1. Maybe the fact that it's the night before Worldcon will work on my side. :)
