What we’re about

In the spirit of creating something random, and seeing that O'ahu is missing both coffee and movie groups, I decided to combine the two, since I've enjoyed hosting both types of events over the years.

For the activities:

  1. Movie Nights: getting on the Meetup site to get in the outside world a little bit, these events will take place at various theaters on the island, as the schedule permits. Full disclosure, I do have the Regal App; however, I am also eager to discover some of the lesser known theaters as well.

The types of movies that I am interested in are suspense/thriller, more on the cerebral side (shortchange of that in Hollywood), even some horror. However, this movie is not about me, so if you could answer the "favorite genre" question when you join, this will help me schedule the right types of movies that the group is interested in.

And, while I am all for watching movies where "things" blow up every 90-seconds or so, the movies you will most likely not see in the group are Pitch Perfect 78, and Justin Bieber's Christmas Special. Sorry (but not sorry ;-))

  1. Coffee Socials: aimed at the person who doesn't drink coffee to wake up (but instead wakes up to drink coffee), believe me, there is far too much blood in my caffeine stream. These coffee events could be before, or after (or hell, DURING!) the movie events, or stand-alone random Sunday mornings when the time comes about.

Since I am new to O'ahu, please feel free to add your favorite coffee (or tea) place for the question in the profile.

My third question will be geared towards geography. I am in Pearl City, but OK to travel anywhere on the island. However, I'd like to gear the events towards where everyone is located.

Lastly - I have been on Meetup since the Spring of 2005. Every couple of years they decide to hop on the latest "interwebs fad", only to have it collapse, like a flan in a cupboard.

The latest "fad" that they think will go over well is pushing members of groups (not the Organizers) to pay for "Meetup +", where you get the exclusive perks and privilege of "seeing other profiles" on the site. I am going to boldly suggest that you ignore this exercise in stupidity, as it will most likely fade away like all of their other Meetup fads over the years.

There is no charge to be a part of this group, and I will not ask you for money to donate to it. I'd rather you spend the money on the local establishments on O'ahu, so they can keep up the good work that they do in providing entertainment and superb coffee.

With that said - I hope to see you all out for future events ... whomever you may be!
