GAS Group Purchase Solidarity

Hi all, Sorry im late posting. Completely forgot. Now we have an unwritten nova group rule, we see all Melbourne films. Plus its comedy festival time, so Ive pick Hands Up Who'd like a Hug. NOTE this screening is a special event but there are lots of tickets left. Its in cinema 9 one of the regular/standard cinemas....no tips for this one, but you would want to be towards the back. We'll be in the usual meeting place [read on for details] from 6:45pm 'ish. If there's something else on your film wish list that you want to catch instead (still recommending I swear), then please feel free to do so and catch us in the Nova bar afterwards for a chat. Looking forward to seeing you there. Cheers, Alicia **--=>+ Meeting Spot +<=--** Outside the clothing store Black Orange. It is inside Lygon Court next to Brunettis. Join the group at the meeting spot 10 minutes before the start time or see us in the movie. **--=>+ The Film +<=--** Produced on iPhone13, featuring a brilliant young comic cast, made on the smell of an oily rag, a Melbourne-made, hilarious, heart-warming comedy is coming to Cinema Nova as part of a very special Melbourne Comedy Festival presentation. Thomas, a young oddball millionaire without any friends, sobers up a homeless drunk, Deacon, in an effort to make his very first friend. Meanwhile Thomas’s neighbour, Blake, discovers his girlfriend once had a ‘Three-Day Life-Changing Sex Marathon’ with his best mate, Logan. Although this happened years before Blake and his girlfriend got together, Blake is so intimidated, he decides to end the friendship with Logan – only Logan won’t let him. These four guys become entangled when Blake and Logan start competing to be Thomas’s best mate just to annoy each other. Thomas, oblivious to the real reason for their sudden interest, is ecstatic about new friend prospects but Deacon becomes homicidally possessive. **--=>+ Tickets +<=--** Everyone will need to buy their own ticket online and in advance. If you want to sit with other group members, there's a tendency for us to pick seats in the back two rows. Those who feel comfortable can catch up in Nova's bar afterward. **--=>+ Afterwards+<=--** We meet in Nova's bar after the movie. Look for us in the area to the left as you go down the steps. Share your thoughts about the film with the group over a drink of your choice. If the bar is closed we typically head across the road to the Wolf's Lair which is out the back of Jimmy Watson's.

We have never until now featured Zinfandel, the ubiquitous California grape with the Dublin Wine MeetUp Group. At its best Zinfandel, is rich, voluptuous, with great depth of red and blue fruits. Jammy and hedonistic are common descriptions Each person should bring one bottle of an quality Zinfandel wine; be creative and quality conscious, with some bottle age if possible. Turley, Martinelli, Biale, Seghesio, Ridge, Hartford Bedrock, Carlisle, Klinker Brick, Frog's Leap, and anything from the Rockpile vineyard is likely to be very good to great. The Prisoner wines began as a Zinfandel blend. Also bring a protein based appetizer to share and **a wine glass for your personal use.** Cheese and meats are best with these wines. There will be a gas grill behind the clubhouse to grill. We’ll gather at the Oak Creek clubhouse, where the Dublin Wine Group, hosted by Thom and supported by Timothy, will take it from there. Come join us for a fantastic mix of great wine, food, and even better company! The evening wraps up at 10 PM. **Please pay $10 at the door per person to cover the cost of the room rental and for the tableware, napkins, water and cups.** 🍷 **6:46 PM – Dublin Wine Group Social** 📍 **Oak Creek Clubhouse** **9005 Oak Village Blvd, Lewis Center, OH 43035** View on Maps (https://maps.apple.com/place?address=9005%20Oak%20Village%20Blvd,%20Lewis%20Center,%20OH%20%2043035,%20United%20States&coordinate=40.158011,-83.003901&name=Oak%20Creek%20at%20Polaris&place-id=I8D83B59D441EDD9B&map=explore)
