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.
Saturday January 19th
1 pm - lunch at Kingdom Buffet
3:20 pm - The Hobbit (2D) at Cinemagic
Not the fastest route, but the most straight forward, if you're unfamiliar with either location: http://goo.gl/maps/jnGFw
Details:
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.
Other movies being shown at approximately the same timeframe at Cinemagic:
3:00 - Parental Guidance (PG)
3:25 - A Haunted House (R)
3:40 - Zero Dark Thirty (R)
3:50 - Les Miserables (PG-13)
(unfortunately this is a much shorter list than it had been last weekend, we lost ~1/2 the options)
Both Mayo and Think Bank have discounted movie ticket rates, but I think those are only valid on non-matinee priced movies.
Lunch: Thursday January 17th
11:30 am, Apache Mall food court, near B&N.
Technical Meeting: FIELD TRIP, FRIDAY, January 11th, 2013
We're checking out a local hacker/maker space. 6 pm, we'll be tagging along to their standard monthly meeting. Their website: http://tymkrs.com/rabbithole/
547 Northern Heights Dr NE
Rochester MN 55906
If it's easy for you, throw in a folding chair. We'll provide the leftover pop from the December party, and some treats as usual. They've said if you have a project to work on, you should bring it with you.
Because of the rescheduling and the field trip, we'll put off officer elections until February.
