Come for the movies, stay for the night!

The party will include socializing, eating, drinking, and an evening of 2010 Oscar-winning films. With the weather warming, this is essentially two parties in one - hang out inside and watch movies, or socialize outside in the back!

• 6:00 PM: Social, eat, drink
  
• 7:30 PM - 6:00 AM (indoors): Movies, eat, drink
  
• 7:30 PM - 6:00 AM (outdoors): Socialize, eat, drink
  

Join us for an evening of 2010 Academy Award-winning films!

See the Membership Policy for full details.

• $20 in food/drink/cash - any combo is good!
  
• Blanket, sleeping bag, pillow always good. We will have some - expect a *cozy*evening!

See the About Page page for directions to the event location and to local grocery and wine stores.

The location is a garden apartment - there is outdoor seating for socializing (if warm enough) and a medium-large room inside where we screen the movies.

The movies are shown indoors on a 58" Panasonic 1080P HDTV accompanied by a 5-speaker Orb Audio sound system. We keep the viewing room dark and the movies loud.

(note: the movies are free, of course, and are provided on a best-effort basis. technical difficulties may always occur - we will have a party regardless, even if we are reduced to watching Nickelodeon all evening)
