Next week, we're gonna have an orphan dinner and watch a little movie. I'm working the details with my partner to see if we're gonna charge a cover, or just have a big ol' potluck and ask for donations to cover the costs. Details forthcoming (very soon).

For a minute there I thought you were talking about the town in Southern California. But there's really nothing to talk about that shithole.

I met those guys at Maker Faire this year and checked out their car. Nice guys, made the movie on a shoestring, the car was fun and and silly - nerded out with them about blowers and smallblocks, for amateur mechanics they did a decent enough job. It blew fire out the stacks just fine. I have video somewhere...

I will be seeing the film, for sure. looks plenty entertaining.

When did you move to Oakland?

About a month and a half ago.

That would explain why I didn't know.
We'll have to get a beer sometime.

Sure thing. Check your PM's

Yeah, you're one to talk, Stiles. It was great seeing you when I was up there.

Based on the overwhelmingly positive feedback I've received here (hahaa, right) I'm trying to put together a screening of this film in the SF bay area.
Renting the movie would cost $250, and I'm looking for a venue right now.

Let me know if anyone is actually interested.

I want to see it.

i'm in. likely could bring a few others

Cool. I'm working on the details right now. Ideally I'd like a warehouse space or a bar, but that's mainly because they'd have booze, and renting a theater is fucking expensive.

I would watch that, and bar location sounds perfect. Tell us all how great the night was so I can get really shitted off about living in a different hemisphere.

Jonny, your comment is fucking hilarious.

I'll ask some of my SF burner crew, they probably can scrape up a warehouse.

Except for ribs and a large pile of mac and cheese at Johnny Rebs....

I'm shooting for either the 12th of November, or on Thanksgiving, and combining it with one of the Bay Area orphans dinners.

Any thoughts?

Either one is fine with me, I'm not going home for thanksgiving. If you do it on the 12th, after 7pm would be better since I work on saturdays.

Also, NIMBY in Oakland has a performance space. I'll ask them next time I'm over there, if you don't have a spot lined up by then.

Either works for me. You may want to talk to the folx over at the Crucible too, seems up their alley.

I'm in. could use a lil advanced notice. howzabout you Stiles, are you around?

Unfortunately this is as advanced as I could give the notice. My partner and I have been tap dancing with various venues to try to find something affordable, reliable, and not a logistical nightmare. We *just* got one solidified last night, and if it didn't happen last night, I was planning on scrapping the whole idea.

Yep, I'm here. Have several invites for thanksgiving day but depending on when it starts, I could make it.

Here is the facebook invite, and the text found therein:



Thursday, November 24, 2011 at 7:30pm until Friday, November 25, 2011 at 12:00pm

Where

Old Fire Station 16, 909 Tenessee st. (20th and Tenessee), San Francisco, CA
Description

This thanksgiving, come join all of your favorite miscreants in a thanksgiving potluck feast, and sit down with us to watch the indie soon-to-be-cult flick, Bellflower.

If you haven't heard of this film, here's the trailer:

Here's the website:
http://www.bellflower-themovie.com/

The film is still on the art house tour, and has been featured at festivals such as Sundance and SXSW. These folks invented their own movie camera out of a pile of parts to get the look they were after. Seriously cool stuff.

So here's the scoop on the party:

We're gonna open the doors at 7:30pm, show up and bring a dish to share if you have the means to do so! The film will start at 9 o'clock, so don't be too late!

There will be booze. Free booze. But you know how fast free booze tends to disappear, so bringing booze to share would also be much appreciated.

There is NO COVER CHARGE for this event, however, we have already spent $350+ on this, and we aren't even done yet. Therefore, we are asking for a $10 suggested donation for the festivities. We are counting on you, our lovely community, to keep us from totally losing our asses on this.
Pitch in what you can, be it more or less... Thanks!

Also, we need some volunteers from the audience! We're gonna need a booze slinger or two, and most importantly, SOMEONE NEEDS TO COOK THE TURKEYS!

Lastly, feel free to invite people along, but don't get too out of hand with it! Try to keep your invites to good folks who will participate, and let's keep the random weirdo moochers to a minimum.

And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RSVP! We are gonna need a head count so we make sure we've got seating for everyone!

Thanks!
Sleep Dep and Rail Road.
(Kimball and Mike)

You guys gonna make it? If so, please to RSVP so we can make sure we've got enough seating and food and such.

Thanks!

I'm in fo sho!

Y'all fucking missed out on THAT one. Last night was incredible... BUT, I'm not here to rub your noses in it, I'm here to tell you that this movie is off the fucking HOOK. It's a really, really great flick.
If I didn't already have a copy, I would go out and get one.
The DVD just dropped, so just go out and get it.

got popped by a cop on the way over for a failed tail light. seems the thing just vibrated off. Cop wouldn't let me drive (after an abundance of sobriety q and a). Had to push her home. shit happens

Doooooooood! WEAK!
Sorry to hear it; that's fuggin obnoxious and not a way to spend an evening.

I might try to arrange another show later on, and see if I can get the filmmakers to come up for it.

It's really *that* good.
