S^3: Stir-Fry, Salads, & Spinal Tap!!

So. One of my favorite movies of all time, This is Spinal Tap, originally released way back in 1984, is coming back to the big screen. It is a “mockumentary” about a fictitious English rock band coming back to the US for their tour. The movie has a lot going for it:

• a 96/100 rating on Rotten Tomatoes
• a huge cult following
• was the genesis of the many Christopher Guest mocumentaries made in the 90s and early 2000s, including Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman, and A Mighty Wind.
• the originator of the phrase “turn it up to 11” or “it goes up to 11"
• small roles by Howard Hessman, Billy Crystal, Paul Schaffer (from David Letterman), Ed Begley, Jr., Fran Drescher, Dana Carvey, Angelica Huston, and Fred Willard.
• it had such an impact music that the upcoming sequel will feature Paul McCartney, Elton John, Garth Brooks, Questlove, and Trisha Yearwood.

In anticipation of the release of its long-awaited sequel in September, the original is being re-released on the big screen for one weekend only. It happens to be the weekend of the 4th of July so I have opted for Monday, July 7, at NCG Cinema. I wouldn’t miss this for the world. Care to join me?

To get our “stomachs” ready for the ensuing laughter, I want to try this healthy eating place called “Fueld”. They have everything from ramen, poke bowls, salads, stir-fry, and more. Perfect for omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans.

This will be a fun night!

NOTES:

1. We meet to eat around 5:30pm for food.
2. The movies starts at 7:15pm, so you should be out of the film by 9pm.
3. It is YOUR responsibility to buy a ticket to the movie. The link to the page to buy tickets is here.

I hope you will join me!
