Springtime in Silverlake

Thanks to Leila and Andres for the awesome hosting, and for everyone who turned out. It was great seeing everyone again after the long hiatus. I think our discussion of Hoosiers was the best post-movie analysis yet. Excellent moderating by Emma, our Bakersfield rep.


Our next movie: An American Werewolf in London (1981). Yums.

Our monster movie theme was a rich mine of suggestions. Voting was tense, complete with lobbying and bribery. It was hard keeping the peace.
