Garth Marenghi's Darkplace / Look Around You
posted March 29, 2015 9:36 PM RSS | iCal | +googleCal
Sat May 2 at 7:00 PM, Grande Once
330 West 11th Street, Los Angeles, CA, USA (Map & Directions)
WARNING: USE METRO - CLIPPERS ARE PLAYING AT STAPLES CENTER. You ask and we deliver! It's an evening of Garth Marenghi's Darkplace and Look Around You, projected on a bigger screen than either show's resolution probably warrants. Details inside.
This is a potluck. Bring something you would like to eat and something you would like to drink and enough to share. We will also have things that we like to eat and drink and enough to share.
We will watch a couple of episodes of each show, although not the whole series of either. If you have a favorite episode, shout out in comments!
We have a couch, chairs, beanbag chairs, etc. No pets except for the occasional dust bunny, but if you're allergic to sequins we advise you to medicate in advance.
We are about as public transit accessible as it gets in LA. All Metro lines lead to our neighborhood (except the Gold Line, but that's a quick change). Any bus route heading toward downtown drops off within a half mile of here. Santa Monica's Big Blue Bus drops off a block from here. Also, the Clippers are playing Game 7 at the Staples Center, which means every public parking space in a half mile radius will be taken. We recommend public transit!
MeMail me for buzzer information and apartment number!

I have no idea what this show is and I'm too stubborn to google, but I assume this will go well anyway. See you guys soon! I'll bring some type of wine and some type of food thing.

Drat. Family obligations will stop me from being able to attend, and this is the kind of thing I am very much in favor of. I'm out here for a few weeks so hopefully I'll be able to make it to some of the other LA IRLs.

I'm out gathering provisions but I may have overdone it because my knee is all swollen. Going back home to rest it all day and hopefully it will be better this evening.

In the words of that immortal poet: "Ice, ice baby!" I hope your knee backs off enough to allow you to come!

I just can't keep my knee bent long enough to make it across town :(
I start PT on Tuesday so hopefully it will get better before the next meet-up. Have fun!
