| 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.

|
| Saturday January 19th<br>
| |
| 1 pm - lunch at Kingdom Buffet<br>
| |
| 3:20 pm - The Hobbit (2D) at Cinemagic<br>
| |
| Not the fastest route, but the most straight forward, if you're unfamiliar with either location: http://goo.gl/maps/jnGFw
| |
|
| |
|
| | === Socials brainstorming: Fall or winter === |
| | -Murder mystery. The host needs to buy a kit at a gaming store to get the event started. |
|
| |
|
| Details:<br>
| | -Jim Henderson, "Silicon Valley" documentary |
| 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.
| |
|
| |
|
| | -Bowlocity laser tag. 5-6 people minimum needed. |
|
| |
|
| Other movies being shown at approximately the same timeframe at Cinemagic:<br>
| | -Liquid nitrogen ice cream. This needs a non-Tina organizer. Dennis DeLorme has 2 recipes. We need safety equipment and someone trained enough to keep us from freezing ourselves. |
| 3:00 - Monsters Inc (2D, G)<br>
| |
| 3:00 - Parental Guidance (PG)<br>
| |
| 3:20 - Texas Chainsaw Massacre (3D, R)<br>
| |
| 3:20 - Zero Dark Thirty (R)<br>
| |
| 3:20 - Django Unchained (R)<br>
| |
| 3:25 - A Haunted House (R)<br>
| |
| 3:50 - Les Miserables (PG-13)<br>
| |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
| Both Mayo and Think Bank have discounted movie ticket rates, but I think those are only valid on non-matinee priced movies.

| |
|
| |
|
| I'll try to pick something cheap or free for the official social, but I'll also cite one activity that may be of interest for group members that has a higher entry fee if anyone wants an unofficial social (sorry, I won't be making that one, although my husband may be interested enough to pony up the door fee).
| |
|
| |
|
| The options:<br>
| |
| 1) The History Center sleigh rides and bonfire (2/1-2/2), free will donation. <br>
| |
| 2) There's the family day snow globes thing at the Art Center 2/2, which even for those not wanting to do the free activity, the Art Center's running free admission that day.<br>
| |
| 3) Also on 2/2 is a price TBD ground hog day celebration at Quarry Hill, hoping for more details on that.
