bush, scummy rummy, dirty dick and the rest of the criminals are exposed in this documentary about al jazeera and the iraq war coverage.

[proud patriot]

[Hell Hath No Fury]

8. Hey Jokerman!

:hi:

[Hell Hath No Fury]

7. I'll check the Roxie schedual....

Just went to the website, looks like they are screening movies for one week runs, from Friday to Thursday, which means we might have to go to that Friday or Saturday screening if we don't want to do it on a work night.

[proud patriot]

9. The Laffayette Park Theater is showing F911

it's within walking distance from BART .

Interesting because Laffayette is not a Liberal
Town ...

Is the theater in Oakland close to Bart ?

[MaryBear]

10. Hey!

:hi:

What's happening with this? My favorite DU'er didn't alert me to it. Sunday's Father's Day. Maybe I could take him to one of these showings. Any agreement on where and when?

I could use a cocktail or 2 or 3 about now.

[MaryBear]

11. oh, . . . dern!

wrong week! or is it?

[proud patriot]

12. next week

How's the new job going GrandmaBear ?

[MaryBear]

13. Whew! All right, "next week"!

But what's the plan?

I'll tell ya later about the job. ;(

[jokerman93]

14. Hey Guys!

I forgot to check the board this week. :-(

Still interested in movie and drinks. Lets plan something! F911 is opening in Femont too! I'm sooo psyched.

[proud patriot]

15. Well we really need to get organized

:crazy: Where are we going to meet ?

[jokerman93]

17. Plan

Where are we going? What's central? I'm kind of up for a night on the town in SF. That's my vote. How about next Saturday evening, the 27th?

[proud patriot]

19. Name the time and place

:D

[democratreformed]

16. Damn. Wish I was there.

Margaritas sound WONDERFUL!!!!

[proud patriot]

20. We shall toast one for you

:toast:

[Duncan Grant]

18. HiYa, Bay Area!

I'll join you for Fahrenheit 9/11!

PM your Bay Area DU pals and mention this thread... :hi: :pals:

[proud patriot]

21. So who has the 411 on the SF theater for Saturday Night ?

:hi: could it sell out in the city ?

[Hell Hath No Fury]

22. I'll do some research...

and post back to the thread. :hi:

Saturday could be a bit ugly, but doable none the less.

Just remembered: Saturday is Pride in SF, which means the City could be tied up, especially downtown.



Okay, here are the immediate Bay Area theatres it's playing at:

San Francisco, CA AMC Van Ness 14
(downtown, parking nil, up from BART by MUNI, good for post-movie food/bev)

San Francisco, CA Century Empire Cinema 3
(small neighborhood theatre in West Portal, parking bad, nowhere near BART, fair for post-movie food/bev)

San Francisco, CA LCE Metreon 15 and IMAX
(really downtown -- effected directly by Pride, parking sketchy, one block from BART, fair for post-movie food bev)

Daly City, CA Century 20 Daly City
(one block from BART, free parking, un-hip area, good for post-movie food/bev)

San Mateo, CA Century 12 Downtown San Mateo
(unknown to me)

Berkeley, CA Landmark California 3 Center
(if I remember correctly: close to BART, parking bad, good for food/bev)


I have not been able to locate any times for the films yet. Are we looking at late afteroon (4pm on) or evening (8pm)?

And I just remembered I'm going to be out of town on Saturday. :( I'm back up in Tahoe slaving on the house. :cry:

[MaryBear]

24. 4 pm would be better than 8, for us. Sunday? Berkeley?

Hell, could you do Sunday?

94114, hope to see you for real one day soon.

[MaryBear]

23. Promises, promises, 94114!

:hi:

[Duncan Grant]

44. LOL!

:hi: I haven't seen you around here for ages!

Well, as you might have guessed; the devil fools with the...

My in-laws are coming up this weekend from LA. My husband's sister will be doing a reading from her latest book this Sunday, over in Berkeley. Not only does the movie look impossible - going to Pride probably won't work out either. Our 10 and 15 year old nephews are coming up, too (sweet and intelligent boys, btw).

Obviously, I'm reluctant to drag them all to Pride. I have nothing against harnesses and chaps but hey, the boys are a bit too young for this event.

How did that B&B work out?

Best to you, GrandmaBear!! :hi: :toast: :hi:

[MaryBear]

45. The B&B worked well, 94114,

but she announced she was selling it the next month and going to (Vermont?) and it probably won't continue as B&B! We enjoyed it while we were there. Good tip!

I've been in a hibernation mode for awhile. Spring does seem to be arriving, though.

Leave the choice about your nephews viewing the Pride parade to their parent. After all, kids who live in the City see that stuff.

Enjoy the weekend! Sounds like it will be full.

:hi:

[proud patriot]

25. Wow I just checked the 911tix California theater page ,,major increase

When I first check the page we had one theater in the county
showing f911, now nearly every city in my county
has a theater showing it :D

[cally]

26. I'm probably in for 911

and definitely for Hunting of the President. If next weekend is Pride, than maybe we should meet in Berkeley instead of SF. I read another thread where tickets are sold out. We need to make plans and buy tickets. I look forward to seeing everyone and meeting some more DUers. :hi:

[proud patriot]

27. I read that too about tickets being sold out

I just checked CoCo county and there are many theaters
to choose from . This is an area where it is less likely
to sell out . Berkeley sounds good too . I'm just not
familar with that area .

[arcane1]

28. I'm in!

pending the details, anyway

this Sunday I'm free

:bounce:

[jokerman93]

29. Sooooo?

Is it going to be Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon? Is it San Francisco or Berkeley? Do we have to buy tickets ahead of time? I', ready, but I can't decide for you guys! Actually, I found out about a new Jazz club in Fremont and they're having big night on Saturday. So now I'm leaning toward Sunday, but I'll meet you guys on Saturday. Just need to know when and where so I can get ticket on-line ASAP!


Mick

[proud patriot]

30. Sunday seems to work for everyone

So Sunday it is ..But where ?

I worry about shows selling out in SF Oakland and Berkeley .

[jokerman93]

31. We could see the movie in Fremont

And then go get some Jazz afterward. I live right near BART and can meet people, but my car is just a little two-seater.

People want to head down to fremont?

[jokerman93]

32. Actually

Saturday or Sunday in Fremont would Probably be ok -- if sold out shows are a problem. I'd bet Fremont isn't sold out yet.

What do you all think?

[proud patriot]

33. Century Cinedome East 8...I'll try to get a street address

Also is there a place for Margaritas and Dinner near there?

[MaryBear]

34. Co Co County is more central.

Can we do that? What works, proud patriot? We can jabber about impact of Nader/Camejo ticket! It woke me up!

Any hoo -- can we do Concord? or some such?

[proud patriot]

35. We can do CoCo if it's better you

Concord Brendan 14 is the Concord Theater .
I'll get the street address together .
I'll find something close for Dinner .

I kind of feel guilty because it's so close to my
house . But I can drive people from BART it's pretty
close to the theater . I have 3 seatbelts available .

[MaryBear]

36. No guilt

:beer:

thx. will this work for all of us? i know it would for willy

[proud patriot]

37. Info on the theater

http://www.brendentheatres.com/Concord/index.phpLo

They don't have info on F911 tickets yet .

Maps to the theater
http://www.brendentheatres.com/directions/index.php

This mexican food place seems pretty close .
I've never been there though. I'll go by there tomorrow
to see what it's like and how close to the theater it is

The Old Spagetti Factory is within walking distance of
the Theater. They have a bar if you would rather do Italian .
Actually lots of stuff within walking distance of the theater .

[Hell Hath No Fury]

39. Mom and I...

seeing it in Reno sometime this weekend. I'll be thinking about you all! :hi:

[jokerman93]

41. Have fun!

Sorry we'll miss you this time.

:-(

[MaryBear]

46. Sorry we'll miss you both.

I hope our help with the house was truly useful, and you haven't had to paint it all over again. What color is the door, btw?

:hi:

[Hell Hath No Fury]

48. Kind of a wierd merlot-ish....

The original was just too hot pink, so Mom had it toned down a bit. :)

I'm doing the eaves on the two tall sides of the house these days. I almost broke into tears when I put the second coat of white on them -- it's going to take three coats to cover the dark grey! :cry:

If I never paint another eave in my life it will be too soon....

But, I wil be putting in Mom's new front garden this weekend as well, so that will be something a little different and more pleasant.

Mom will be having another shindig when everything is finally done sometime in mid August -- I hope everyone will be up for a work-free Tahoe weekend! :hi:

[arcane1]

40. sweet!

they are showing it in Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill, too!

I am not sure about Sunday, I'll see how it goes... may be getting together in SF that day :(

[jokerman93]

42. So Concord on Sunday it is!

Fahrenheit 9/11
2:40pm, Sunday, June 27, 2004
Brenden Concord 14

[proud patriot]

43. Well it's just a block from the old Spaghetti Factory

Here's the address and link to map to the
Old Spaghetti Factory

http://www.osf.com/locations/alllocations.html
They have a lounge/bar area we could meet there

for dinner after the movie .

[MaryBear]

47. Just bought our tickets

for 2:40 show. We'll see you all at the Spaghetti Factory at 2.

:loveya:

Do they serve margaritas?

:beer:

[proud patriot]

[proud patriot]

50. FYI .... Fleetwood Mac at Concord Pavillion Sunday Night at 8 pm

Just a heads up . I'm going to be seeing Fleetwood Mac
Sunday night at the Concord Pavillion after Dinner
With DUers .

http://www.chroniclepavilion.com/calendar.asp

I think Tickets may still be available :think:

[MaryBear]

51. WillyT, you started this . . .

will you be there on Sunday?

And, how about the Sunnyvale, East Bay, Dixon, etc. contingent?

That said, I'll try not to back out on this one! Having purchased tickets, together with looking forward to the good company of Bay Area DU'ers, is a definite incentive.

[WillyT]

52. LOL, I Know, I Know...

I was originally talking about The Hunting Of The President in July, since it didn't seem to have a wide release like FH 9-11. But...

If I can get my butt over there ($$$), I'd love to see it again with you guys.

Goin with Mom and Carrie on Friday here in Sacto!

Sorry, LOL!

:eyes:

Had to edit my but(t). Two t's, right???

:hi:

[noiretextatique]

53. sprained my ankle last week...badly

[proud patriot]

54. Oh no

I hope it is feeling better soon :-(

[Hell Hath No Fury]

55. Calling Proud Patriot!

Or any other of the BA DUers -- in case you didn't catch my activism thread, I've got a brand spankin' new, anti-Bush PDF flyer ready for download!

I'm hoping folks might consider making some copies and handing them out at "F9/11" showings. ;)

You can find the flyer here.


I'll be in Reno with my copies, waiting to get arrested!

[proud patriot]

56. Yesssssssssss !

I tried to see it when you first posted it .
I see you fixed the link ..Thank You HHNF

:yourock:

[cally]

57. I won't make tomorrow's showing

but I will still love to gather for Hunting of the President.

[jokerman93]

58. Damn!

I can't make it today!

You guys have a great time. I'm so sorry I won't be able to meet you for F9/11. Someting important came up.

:-(

[proud patriot]

59. There always next time Jokerman2004

:hi:

[Jack Rabbit]

60. A good time was had by all

If you can get an open-minded undecided voter to see this film, do. It is very powerful.

[quinn94704]

61. I'm in!

Just saw f911. LOVED IT. Wish I could have seen it with a large group of fellow progressives but I had papers to finish and had to watch it with my girlfriend.

Did you see the photos from Michael Moore's website?! OMG, we broke box office records

http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/latestnews/breakingnews/

Are there meetup events for other gatherings??

[proud patriot]

62. Great pictures

I think we will be meeting to see "The Hunting Of
the President" but nothing is pinned down yet .

[WillyT]

63. Um... Anybody Planning On Going To 'The Hunting...' This Weekend ???

Not even sure I can make it this time, but was curious anywho.

:shrug:

[MaryBear]

64. Not sure.

But probably not.

Old Mr. R. had heart surgery and is still in ICU. We've gone daily to visit.

We're scheduled to watch a video about Fox at a Move On house party on Sunday evening.
