Swingers (1996) @ CineMagic & Hawthorne Hideaway

"This is a story about Mike, a guy who left his girl in New York when he came to LA to be a star. It's been six months since his girlfriend left him and he's not doing so good. So, his pal and some other friends try and get him back in the social scene and forget about his 6 year relationship." —Kevin Gillease (IMDb)

I always recommend buying your ticket ahead of time. This group visits local theaters in Portland proper (not AMC, Regal, etc.), so the theaters are smaller and could sell out. I would hate for anyone to show up and get turned away! CLICK HERE TO BUY YOUR TICKET

On June 29th at 7pm, we are watching Swingers at CineMagic. Post-movie discussion location will be at Hawthorne Hideaway (3 minute walk from the theater).

There will be a sign in the theater so we can all sit together (that is the goal anyway). After the movie, I’ll wait (with my sign) outside the theater for a few minutes for anyone that wants to walk to the discussion spot together. If you miss us out front, just head to the discussion spot and join us there.

At our Meetup for Babygirl, we pulled off a “speed dating” style of discussion. We rotated in groups of 3 or 4 every 10 minutes. There was no specific topic to discuss, the convo was yours for the making. We completed 3 rotations. If anyone has feedback or suggestions please comment! Depending on the groups size, and the discussion spot location, we might be able to facilitate this again. The motivation for this idea is to alleviate pressure from the one-person-talking-at-a-time-model, without the complete chaos of everyone talking over each other at once. If this doesn’t seem viable when the time comes, folks can discuss and meander around the group as they please!

Looking forward to seeing new & familiar faces.
