Movie Night!
Remember movie night? Well we're back on! Bob and Tolver and I are throwing our first movienight potluck on Big Island.Tolver and I first started having movienight potlucks in San Francisco. We had attended a Star Trek Voyager night potluck, with a large family of friends for several years, continuing through Star Trek Enterprise; every week with a new episode. When that franchise came to an end, so did that potluck, that's when Tolver and I decided to start our bi-monthly movienight. We had a large one-bedroom apartment, and had painted the bedroom to resemble an old movie theater, with an eight foot screen on one wall. We had enough technology to have a screen in every room all showing the same movie, including the big walk in closet with a window that had been converted into the smoking lounge.
Since moving to Big Island, we have joined a potluck movienight group, that meets about every other Sunday. Each person/household in the group takes a turn at hosting the potluck, so we get to go someplace different each time. So far, the group is mainly based in Puna and Hilo, so, like for volleyball, we drive the hour and a half to get to potluck. Ah the social life of a rural-ite. Because we are so far away from most of the group, we were hesitant to add our household to the list, but we solicited feedback, and got enough positive response that people would actually make the trip out, so we threw our name into the ring. We will be hosting a movie-afternoon potluck, Sunday February 18th. People will be car-pooling across the Ka'u to come visit our farm in Ocean View!
If you need directions, just email me reese@tolver.com
People are welcome to show up anytime after noon, officially things get started at 2pm. We will snack on all of the food as it arrives (Bob is making Teriyaki Chicken Wings, his famous Apple Salad, and even a Ham, if we can find one.) We will show several movies/shorts during the course of the day. There is also a pool table, and we may do tours of the farm. Stay for sunset. Anyone who wants to camp out in the back yard is welcome, but please be aware that we are above 3400 feet, and it gets damn cold at night! link | posted by Reese at 6:57 PM
