"Born to be Wild" in true IMAX 3D w/ Brunch and the CHIP House
This location is shown only to members
Part 1 - Brunch - 10:30am
We'll start the Sunday morning off with brunch at Jacks N Joe. This will be optional for everyone, but please let me know if you will be joining us for breakfast/brunch. http://www.jacksnjoe.com/menu/

Los Angeles, CA 90007
Part 2 - CHIP House Exhibit - Noon
CHIP was built by the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), and sponsored by Hanwha Solar. It won first place in the energy balance contest at the U.S. Department of Energy-sponsored Solar Decathlon competition in September 2011.
Praised for its unique look, the 750-square-foot, net-zero home features a quilted exterior—fittingly compared to a giant pillow or spacesuit—where insulation is stretched around the frame rather than stuffed inside it. In temperate Los Angeles, CHIP's 45 solar panels generate three times more electricity than what the home uses—enough to power two electric cars along with the lighting, appliances, and heating and cooling systems. Most notably, the solar panels power an Xbox Kinect motion-sensitive video game system that has been turned into a master command center, allowing residents to turn lights and appliances on and off simply by pointing at them.
Part 3 - IMAX Movie "Born to be Wild" - 1:30pm show
http://www.imax.com/borntobewild/#/video/tr... Born to be Wild 3D is an inspiring story of love, dedication and the remarkable bond between humans and animals. This film documents orphaned orangutans and elephants and the extraordinary people who rescue and raise them—saving endangered species one life at a time.
Stunningly captured in IMAX 3D, Born to be Wild 3D is a heartwarming adventure transporting moviegoers into the lush rainforests of Borneo with world-renowned primatologist Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas, and across the rugged Kenyan savannah with celebrated elephant authority Dame Daphne Sheldrick, as they and their teams rescue, rehabilitate and return these incredible animals back to the wild.

So, Jason... Is the parking easy? One stop, and walk to the other 2, correct? Do you have a preferred parking lot, or the one at Exposition?

Norm
Did a little checking... Bit of a walk... About 15 blocks between JNJ's and Exposition Park. Looks like easy parking @ J'nJ's...

This sounds fantastic, would love to join you guys. Cheeky question (I'm a Brit, we're a cheeky bunch), might anyone be driving from the Santa Monica area? I'm new in town, and car-less. No worries if not, will investigate bus options. Apologies in advance if I cry over the orangutans ... I get a bit soft about animals!
