=== Social:  Saturday, January 19th ===
The following schedule is tentative, because the official movie schedule is released on Wednesday or Thursday in a week for that weekend.  That's not a lot of notice for planning a group event.  But I've been informed by someone who movie-goes more than my ~1x/year that schedules don't tend to vary *too* much from week to week, so we'll use the current info to plan around.

As usual we are [https://www.geocaching.com/geocache/GCBM2PG teaming up with the geocachers] to avoid being overwhelmed by garbage.
Lunch at Kingdom Buffet, followed by a movie.  Feature movie is The Hobbit (2D), but there are several others starting in that same general timeframe if you'd rather attend something else.  Alternatively, you can do just lunch or just the movie.  We'll meet for lunch at 1 pm, 1639 N Broadway.  The Hobbit is at 3:20 at Cinemagic (2171 Superior Drive N.W., by the old Westfire).  If Chinese isn't your favorite, please don't be intimidated; Kingdom Buffet does have several buffet items that are more Midwestern acceptable (bbq ribs, teriyaki chicken shishkabobs, salad bar with jello, pudding, hard boiled eggs and fruit, ice cream, etc), it's our preferred spot to feed our toddler when we're out and need to put food in front of her immediately but don't want fast food.
