Post subject: Film Club: Now Showing!

Picked flick: The Constant Gardener

Date: Thursday, 19 Jan, 7.00pm

Venue: The AV Room @ ClubHouse, One Park Avenue. Crossing of Changde Lu and Xinzha Lu.
(this is an aprtment complex. not a bar/restaurant/commercial establishment)

Directions: Line 2, Jing An Temple station. Exit no. 3. Seven minutes walk up Changde Lu.

Open to: film junkies

Restricted to: the well behaved (I'm taking responsibility for all you chaps: my so-called 'pengyou')

Important: be there on (preferably before) time. The booking lasts only till 9pm so we will start screening as soon as the clock strikes 7pm

Bring: stuff to snack on or sip on. also bring in lots of argumentative energy for the post-movie discussion.

RSVP: post here

BTW: The Shexpat film club is a non-profit bunch of people. so no cost!

Hey! I finally found an opportunity to make it over to this thread~

Trix, nice announcement, it reads well Smile

I finally got my hands on constant gardener, so we can have that to watch tomorrow night. In case anyone wonders why it took so long, it was in another person's room, and I wasn't about to go diggin. Felt like the decent thing to do.

I'll try to bring some snacks, too. It'd be nice if everyone brought a little something, but no pressure.

So I'll be there, of course!

Looking forward to the viewing..

An afterthought or an afterquestion if you will. Does this club meet every Thursday? Then I can work my schedule around that.

so lets do this thurs first. then lets see if we need to change it to a weekend day. I assumed that the weekend was when people would like to coochy-coo with their loved ones, curl up at home or go crazy partying. which was why we did the work week thingy.

I am sorry, it's just too funny, I don't know where you work or eat, but serving cum for dinner or meeting is not something I'd like to be part of. LOL...
