Meetup: Cambridge Test Kitchen: The Housewarmening

backseatpilot — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 12:07:49 GMT

We're having a housewarming! For our new ~~house~~ condo! Come on over!

The girlfriend and I have been running a series of themed food parties which I dubbed "The Cambridge Test Kitchen". We don't live in Cambridge anymore, and this particular event isn't really centered around the food... so come to our next Cambridge Test Kitchen event! Until I can think of a new name for it... We just moved in to our new place and we'd love to have everyone over for food, drink, and socializing. We'll have some slow-cooked meat going outside, summer salads, and plenty of other comestibles. Some pertinent information: -We have limited on-street parking for guests, but it's an easy walk from the Davis T stop. -For those of you with allergies, we do have cats. -There will be vegetarian options, but we don't normally cater to any other dietary restrictions. If you'd like to come and have allergies or other dietary problems, let me know and we'll try to accommodate you. I'll send out our address to anyone that confirms that they're coming. Join us!

My band, Short Wave, is playing its first gig, at Sally O'Brien's in Union Square, Somerville! We're opening for an old Boston indie mainstay, the In Out (which I was a part of in 1995-96), and they are releasing their latest LP. Yes, vinyl, not CD. So: Friday, July 29, we go on at 10PM. Sam Wheeler opens up at 9PM. SUPPORT LOCAL MUSIC, PEOPLE! Thanks!

Meetup: Lordy, lordy, Horace Rumpole is forty

Horace Rumpole — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 00:33:26 GMT

My 40th birthday* is coming up, and I can't think of a better way to celebrate than watching some of my favorite movies with the fine folks of Metafilter. Saturday, March 5th, 2-11PM, Somerville Theatre in Davis Square.

I'm renting out the 31-seat private micro-cinema for an all-day movie marathon (but come and go as you please) featuring beer, cake, and a special guest appearance by Discourse Marker. We've got time for about five movies, and the last one is definitely going to be Troll 2. For the remainder of the schedule, I'd like to get your non-binding preferences from the following list (if you are at least a maybe): O Brother Where Art Thou (103 mins.) Mystery Men (122 mins.) Idiocracy (87 mins.) Wet Hot American Summer (97 mins.) Galaxy Quest (102 mins.) Ed Wood (127 mins.) Hot Fuzz (121 mins.) Waiting for Guffman (84 mins.) Rushmore (93 mins.) Due to time constraints, we can probably only do one of the 2-hour movies. I'll post a schedule once people have a chance to register their preferences. Theater rules: you are welcome to bring in outside food and beverages, but no glass bottles. I'll be getting a mini-keg of beer (Magic Hat #9 or similar)--your RSVPs will help me settle on the appropriate quantity. Please feel free, but not obligated, to bring snacks to share. As mentioned above, you will be able to come in and out as needed. I don't expect that we'll max out the capacity, but bear it in mind. *Technically it's February 22nd, but think of this as Horace Rumpole's Birthday (Observed).

Sat March 5 at 2:00 PM, Somerville Theatre
