Hi, all!

Miles and I are planning to use this week's Halloween get-together as
the kick-off of a continuing series of Friday Night Movie Nights at our
place. Ever since "The X-Files" moved to Sunday night, we've really
missed the traditional Friday night get-togethers as a chance to connect
and catchup with friends.  It's just not the same when alien parasites
burst out of someone's chest not to hear everyone scream.  On top of
that, winter is approaching and what better way to weather the cold than
to curl up together on the sofa warming ourselves on hot tea and the
comforting glow of the TV screen showing bitchy divas from the silver
screen rip each other to shreads (e.g., Bette and Joan)!

We're proposing every other Friday night, the first and third Fridays of
each month.  We will pick the movie ahead of time and notify everyone by
e-mail.  We are more than happy to take suggestions ahead of time for
movies; if we don't have it in our personal collection, there are three
video stores within a mile radius.  Those with Web access can search the
120,000 movies in the excellent Internet Movie Database at
http://us.imdb.com/ for ideas.

Abraham Licoln said, "You can't please all the people all the time."
With this crowd, we'll rarely all agree on the movie each time (if
ever), so we're asking people to be opened minded.  You may be
pleasantly surprised by a movie you'd not have picked out yourself.  The
advanced notification will also let you determine if you want to skip
that week or not, but of course I'd encourage you to come and share the
experience anyway.  If the choice is really bad, we can always do the
Mystery Science Theater 3000 thing and make catty comments.

Come join us this Friday for Addams Family Values (1993), starring
Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia, and directed by Barry Sonnenfeld.
Selected Simpsons Halloween shorts to start.
