⚖️ ***Caught between two worlds of intrigue and adrenaline? Let your spirit pull you right in.*** 👋 **Hey guys!** So, we’ve got two thrillers hitting the screen at the same time. The gritty world of **Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man** and the high-stakes heist of ‘Crime 101. Whatever the vibe, this is a great opportunity to get together and decide which story stole the night! If you’re drawn to something darker and more serious, you may be interested in the British crime drama **Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man**, directed by **Tom Harper** and written by **Steven Knight**. The story follows a self-exiled **Tommy Shelby** as he confronts rising Nazi threats and the ghosts of his past when his son is drawn into danger. The film directly continues the **[television series](https://www.netflix.com/watch/80003008?trackId=284616272)** storyline, serving as a powerful, cinematic bookend to the Shelby legacy. On the other hand, if you’re in the mood for something more explosive and popcorn-fuelled, you might want to check out the throwback crime thriller **Crime 101** by Bart Layton. This widely praised new release has drawn comparisons to **[Heat](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpAhjOvQVj0)** and **[Collateral](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JDf2zIFgO8)**[ ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JDf2zIFgO8)for its moody L.A. noir style, delivering a tense, character-driven story with serious edge. By the way, there are several films playing around the same time at this location, so if you’d prefer an alternative, that’s absolutely fine, either way, we can still catch up at the bar. Make sure to **book your ticket in advance** in case your chosen film sells out. We’ll kick things off at the **Look Dine-In Bar** at **Tysons** at **The Boro** at **6:00 pm** (by then, we’ll have made our choice). I’ve already made mine, but that will remain top secret for now—until I see you. Then around **7:05 pm**, we’ll head over to either **Screen 6** or **Screen 5**, and after the film, we’ll regroup at **10:15 pm** to share highlights and log our thoughts with a **[Letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com/movieroadhouse)** review. No matter what your vibe is, I think it’s going to be a really nice, chilled night for movie buffs. **I look forward to seeing you guys there.** **Jonny** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 👉 **HEADS UP** * If you sign up and later can’t make it, please 🙏 drop us a quick message (or change your RSVP) — it really helps with planning.

Whether you're Deaf, HoH, an interpreter, an ASL student, or just want to learn or practice American Sign Language (ASL), we welcome all levels of signers to come join us for an evening of ASL socializing and practice. This event occurs on the first and third Sundays of every month, in the heart of Fairfax County at the Fairfax Wegman's (corner of Route 29 and Monument Drive). We can be found on the upper level, typically near the stairs. We generally start around 7 pm. ASL beginners are welcome, but you should know the ASL alphabet and some basic signs - this is not an ASL class, but the more experienced signers are generally happy to help beginners learn and improve. There is no better way to develop your signing skills than by joining the conversation with other signers. There is a place for everyone to join, learn and practice. Regardless, we are always welcoming so don’t be discouraged to attend; this is very informal and new folks are always welcome. Note, some attendees arrive early and grab some of Wegman’s food for dinner, so you can combine a shopping trip with the ASL practice.

Join us for the fabulous curry, ramen, and more at ***Karé Bar*** in Chantilly! ***From Northern Virginia Magazine:*** Some of the best dishes in the world are fairly recent innovations. The Vietnamese banh mi, for example, appeared only in the 1950s thanks to the introduction of the French baguette in Ho Chi Minh City and the innovative thinking of the Le family. Japanese curry is a bit older, tracing back to the late 19th century, when British sailors enchanted with well-spiced Indian sauces brought those traditions back to another part of Asia. Eventually, Korea also created its own adaptation of the thick, flavorful gravy. Score another one for the global food community. Actually, score two. Kare Bar opened in Chantilly on Metrotech Drive, making it easy to head to Shilla Bakery or Chateau de Chantilly after lunch or dinner. Score three? Of course, I wouldn’t be keeping score at all if the food weren’t excellent. It is, as is the caring service and bright atmosphere. Start with something uniquely Japanese like monkfish liver with ponzu or a grilled hamachi collar, or stick to an old reliable like the juicy chicken or seafood dumplings, united by a crispy lacework of fried skirt. I tried both the Japanese and Korean curries. The latter is labeled as “spicy” on the menu, but didn’t seem to have any more heat than the Japanese curry. I recommend sticking to the Japanese sauce for its more robust flavor. Order it with the meaty, crispy donkatsu (pork cutlet curry) or the hamburger steak curry, essentially a well-seared dish of Salisbury steak. Whichever curry you order, it will come with sticky rice topped with a crisp-edged over-easy egg and a slew of veggies, ready to be drenched in curry. A shredded cabbage salad is bathed in an exceptionally appealing creamy sesame dressing. As winter sets in, there are few more fulfilling meals than a rib-sticking curry. This is the place that will keep you feeling like there’s no need to hibernate. Check out menu [here](https://karebar.com/our-menu/) **WAITLIST:** Meetup does not allow a waitlist for paid events. If this event fills and you are interested in adding your name to the waitlist, please send host a message through the app. To enhance the opportunity for great conversation, we would like to keep the group small. Please feel free to sign-up to meet us along with up to 2 friends. In the future, we will vary the days of the week, geography and the cost of restaurants so that we can attract many different types of diners. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE COMMITTED TO GO WHEN YOU RSVP FOR THIS EVENT. In the event our group incurs a fee for no-shows / late cancellations, your ability to RSVP for future events will be restricted. Thank you in advance for your understanding.Feel free to make suggestions for future meet locations. All diners will have their own tab to avoid any confusion. \*\* The small non-refundable registration fee helps us share the cost associated with Meetup platform ($360/year) and reduces the likelihood of no-shows, allowing us to better plan our events and accommodate attendees. Thank you in advance for your understanding!\*\* If you are unable to join us in March, we hope you'll stay interested and join us for a meal in the future. Looking forward to seeing you at Karé Bar in Chantilly!
