San Diego, CA 5 Movie Marathon, Saturday April 5th!

Per JawaJames' suggestion, I've locked the old thread, and started this one. I was thinking we could start the movie marathon event at 11:00. We should probably have a potluck for the lunch hour, and then order in pizzas for the evening hour. Any other suggestions on what we should do this time around? Please sign up in this thread for what you will be bringing for potluck.

Feel free to wear costumes, bring lightsabers, props, etc.

 

Im not sure what food im bringing yet. A suggestion is to remind everyone to wear their costumes!

 

i didnt mean to get the old thread locked down.. there seemed to be discussion on it still...

 

Of course, I'll be there!

 

I wore my costume last time so I'm going comfy this time around. I'll be wearing a club t-shirt.

The cupcakes didn't go over too well last time so I guess I'll have to bring homemade chocolate chip cookies for this event.

I'm gonna pass this along to the CA Grey; I got in trouble last time because I didn't give them enough warning!

 

The cupcakes went over pretty well for me
I didn't want to eat all of them but I could have had a few more or five. MMMMM choclate,
garrrgh,drool. I can bring sodas and chips again.Preferences?


may have to come and go and come back.
what order of showing?

 

I'm planning on watching ALL of them this time. I'll be there!

 

mmm, coooooooookies..... Me want cookie!! num num num num num num!!

 

We are watching them 4,5,6,1, 2.... that is the only way that makes sense... watching 1, 2, __, 4, 5, 6 would be a bit silly. Once 3 is made, it would be cool to watch them 1-6 though.

 

Thank you MJF,will check this thread for prefs on soda and chips.

 

Ah, come on, will I ever get to go to some of the fun stuff ...
We can't go because we will be working at a Rennaisance faire. There is one that weekend (5&6)in Escondido that the group we are in particiates in.

 

why are they called Renaissance Faires when everyone dresses in Middle Ages garb?

"maces, crossbows, and one-size-fits-all chainmail"
"learn the joy of cooking with turnips"
--GTA3 radio ad for Liberty City's RenFaire

 

LOL, was that really an actual ad? What a riot!

Would you have a clue what a Middle Ages faire is perhaps? I always wondered too.

 

it's a radio ad within a video game.
the cars you steal in the game have radios which you can set to different stations.. some of the stations have commercials for all sorts of funny things.

 

Ah, Grand Theft Auto 3....didn't get the abbreviation. We have so far avoided buying a new video game system because we have so many other outdated ones that we just can't bring ourselves to do it...so I'm not to quick on these things.

 

As we get closer to the date I will have somthing spicel pland for food. Thinking of going to go pick up the old Star Wars cook book.

 

when do you think we will finish?
i get to drive to LA that night...

 

Is the trailer for Shadows in the sand going to be shown that night?

 

Should we invite the OC and LA FF chapters to come to the film festival?

 

I don't know if it will be a trailer, but i will have something to show at the marathon, so don't worry.

 

Yes, we should invite LA, OC, IE, and the PFF (after they get done watching Cowboy Beebop... or before).

 

Posted this on their forums:

The San Diego Star Wars Society (SD's chapter of FanForce) would like to invite The LA, OC, and IE Chapters to join us for a Star Wars movie marathon on April 5th!!! This is the SDSWS' second such film event... we had so much fun at the first one that we decided to do it again and invite others to participate!!

The event begins at 11am in Poway, CA (30 minutes north of San Diego) and is being hosted at the Contempo Design Center, which has an amazing mini theatre inside on its 2nd floor. The building is quite large and many of the chairs recline; we will be seeing the three films on a 10ft screen with surround sound. The way the room will be set up is that people are free to come and go during the movies. In a room behind where the movies will be playing are some pool tables, and other tables where people can sit and eat. Downstairs is a full kitchen. Upstairs where the movies will be playing we will have snacks and drinks as well. The room will handle 50 people comfortably.

Everyone is welcome to wear costumes, bring lightsabers or other props, wear Star Wars T-Shirts etc. Show and tell at SW fan events is always encouraged! I know of at least one complete sewn Jedi costume that will be for sale at the event, just fyi.
Also, SDSWS will be showing off the artifacts of Jabba's Sail Barge that we collected on our recent trip to the Dune Sea of Tatooine (Imperial Desert near Yuma where scenes from ROTJ was filmed.) There may also be a special preview showing of the SDSWS fanfilm currently in production, "Shadows in the Sand"!!!

The directions to the event are:

Contempo Design
12302 Kerran Street
Poway, CA 92064

- Take 15 Freeway.
- Take the Scripps Poway Parkway Exit off of the 15 freeway and head East
- Go East about 4-5 miles until you reach Kirkham (One light past Pomerado
Road)
- Turn Left on Kirkham, take the next left on Kerran
- Drive to the end of Kerran Street, we are in the Contempo Design Building
on the right.
