movie night status

[Uri Guttman]

hi all,

here is the lastest poop on the movie night. things are flux but we have 
some general plans. and nothing is in stone yet so look at this as an 
outline.

first off, i have been joined in this project by the folks at crowd 
tilt. they are a perl shop that organizes and manages the money for 
events like movie night. they want to help as well as sponsor it. this 
will make the evening much more affordable for attendees.

here are the rough ideas. attendees will buy a ticket for $15 via crowd 
tilt. that will get them admission and one drink (beer or mixed). food 
(which looks interesting from the menu) is on your own tab. our goal is 
at least 50 people. crowd tilt will be sponsoring the rest of the 
expense. the numbers are variable so it may work with fewer people or 
something.

the bad news is the theater we want is the alamo ritz on 6th st. it is 
the old classic one everyone means when they say drafthouse. they are 
showing the hangover 3 which isn't any good from what everyone says. 
star trek is showing at another alamo venue and would be more expensive 
since they charge extra for first run movies.

the alamo ritz has a 72 person theater there. we can sit, eat, drink and 
talk back to the movies as we will have the whole room.

we also hope to have dave adler do a second feature from his cromulent 
collection of bad and worse films. the alamo ritz has digital projection 
so that should highlight the quality cinematography of these fine flicks!

we expect to send out a short list of some classic films. we will have 
to vote on them quickly as this event is just a week from monday. hard 
to believe yapc is approaching as it has never been held in early june.

so chime in with whatever. keep it civil. hold your catcalls for the 
actual screening!

thanx,

uri
