After reading for years, first on the old Mystery Press board, then Serial Squadron and now here, about all of the fun that Gravy's been having with FNF, I decided to blatently rip it off and do my own event. Unlike FNF, a weekly get-together simply isn't possible. We're aiming for every three weeks, liberally. Now......this poses a problem for serials. My solution to that is, unless we're showing a first or last chapter, we're going to run 2 chapters a night, with the comedy short inbetween them. I know LG wouldn't approve, but what the heck. I gotta work with what I got. We're also running a vintage intermission program instead of music videos inbetween the shorts and the feature. This weekend, we're serving pizza, a big bowl of candy, popcorn and beer if you want it. The program is: Baseball Bugs (1946) So You Want To Give Up Smoking (1942) Zorro's Fighting Legion Chapter 1 (1939) Alcohol Is Dynamite (early 60's?) The 7th Voyage of Sinbad ......and of course, all Balconeers are invited. |

I wanted to get some of those plastic retro-looking popcorn buckets, but nobody locally has them. |

We had a great time last night. The kids were really taken with 7th Voyage of Sinbad, and I think the short subjects were a big hit, especially Alcohol Is Dynamite. I think everyone had a great time, and we're doing it again on the Nov 27th. |
