A grand aioli garden party
Carnitas party
Gay old movies (Sunset Boulevard, Ninotchka, etc.) at my house
Scrabble
Poker


Outings:

Karaoke @ Annie's again
Ice cream @ Ici, Berkeley
Monterey Aquarium

I'm usually into the aquarium, and if timing didn't work, we can scare up 5-6 guest cards among my household to send with friends, if that were useful. :)

Karaoke!

[wild-irises.livejournal.com]

Karaoke not me, and I don't care for Ninotchka. Otherwise, they all sound wonderful, even if Ici does claim that its ice cream "connects us to the circle of life," it still tastes good.

[pantryslut.livejournal.com]

Ninotchka is problematic as a whole, but I love its parts. I think also it is particularly a movie of my childhood in ways that are hard to explain.

All About Eve is one of the other movies I am considering. In part b/c G. has never seen any of them.

[wild-irises.livejournal.com]

All About Eve, good. Sunset Boulevard good. I hear you about Ninotchka; I expect we just came to it from different directions. If you show it with one of the others, I'll likely go sit in the garden (or kitchen) and read, and be perfectly happy.

(chokes on water)
pantryslut, you didn't tell me it was woo-woo ice cream. :)

[pantryslut.livejournal.com]

My woo-woo filters are so good, I didn't even notice. It's not Cafe Gratitude levels of anything, don't worry.

[wild-irises.livejournal.com]

With all the trimmings (okay, not Cafe Gratitude trimmings). When imnotandrei and I were there about a week ago, they had cilantro sorbet. And the sign about the circle of life. But it was damned good ice cream.

[fightingtiger.livejournal.com]

Any. All. Except my voice is still too gravely for karaoke. But I clap for everybody though.

[hhholiday.livejournal.com]

fattest and i have been wanting yet somehow not going to Ici, so maybe an outing would successfully get us there!

seyewailo and i recently spent two and a haf blissful hours at home watching/singing along with/squeeing at SOUTH PACIFIC. do you and the lads like musicals? and what about adding THE WOMEN to your list?

[black-pearl-10.livejournal.com]

"do you and the lads like musicals?"

I'm not a big fan.
They must be rock based, and have a queer theme central to the plot.
It pretty much limits me to Rocky Horror and Hedwig. :)

[hhholiday.livejournal.com]

ah but the motherlode: TOMMY... or doesn't the intense camp of elton john and ann-margaret count as queer them?

[black-pearl-10.livejournal.com]

Camp does count as queer, but in my case since it's not a central theme of the plot itself...it doesn't make my list.

Besides, I tried to watch it while I was in high school, and I'm afraid I found it dreadfully dull.
(Shhh, don't tell imnotandrei)

[hhholiday.livejournal.com]

dude, it's better on drugs (not that i do them anymore.)

[black-pearl-10.livejournal.com]

I guess that's why I found The Wall boring too. :)

[pantryslut.livejournal.com]

I am picky about musicals. I did go to the sing-along West Side Story, and man was that fun. But other musicals, eh.

The Women, though, totally!

[hhholiday.livejournal.com]

how do you feel about bollywood?
(this is at the top of my netflix queue: http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Saawariya/70082643?trkid=226871)

[pantryslut.livejournal.com]

I am a total sucker for Bollywood.

[hhholiday.livejournal.com]

i hope that you and the lads will make a plan to come over and watch some bollywood or THE WOMEN with us (or a plan for us to come over, all good.) think of the gourmet popcorn we could collectively conjure up!

[pantryslut.livejournal.com]

Oooh, yes! It's a plan!

[everythingbagel.livejournal.com]

Yay for karoake! I'm there.

[elusis.livejournal.com]

Garden parties, Poker, and aquariums are all things I like. I can enjoy karaoke in the right crowd too. :)

[ilipodscrill.livejournal.com]

karaoke and movies sound fun, i like Eileen the karaoke lady @ Annie's.

[pantryslut.livejournal.com]

I think we might qualify as the right crowd :) And the credit doesn't just go to the audience -- the Annie's folks are a lot of fun.

[fattest.livejournal.com]

garden party
poker
aioli, grand or not
ici, connect me to the circle, please.

[irontongue.livejournal.com]

I would love to do any of those htings other than karaoke and poker.

You know, add in Bollywood and good food, and an outing to the Naz 8 might be in order Indian movies plus Indian snacks.
