I just re-watched the first one recently and forgot how entertaining it was to watch. I'm excited to see the sequel with all of the main characters back. There's very few seats for the Devil Wears Prada 2 for this week so I am picking next weekend to give everyone time to buy tickets before they are sold out (see the link below). I will be in seat B8. https://www.amctheatres.com/showtimes/142529921/seats https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_devil_wears_prada_2

A small-time drug trafficker likes to spend his spare time watching an emergency-medical show on TV. An emergency-medical technician likes to spend hers watching a crime show. The two have never met, but eventually it becomes apparent that there’s a paranormal connection between them. Figuring out this connection and then determining what to do about it takes most of the movie. The action only gets stranger and more ominous as the story approaches a conclusion that may have you questioning reality. ■ Title — *The Frame* ■ Director — Jamin Winans ■ Cast — David Carranza, Tiffany Mualem, Cal Bartlett ■ Unrated, suitable for teens and adults ■ ©2014 \| 2h 7m \| Crime\, Drama\, Fantasy\, Romance\, Thriller ■ Distributed by Double Edge Films

We're seeing In the Grey at 3:00pm at Regal Gallery Place. I'm really looking forward to seeing Cavill and Gyllenhaal play off each other in the new Guy Ritchie. I have high hopes for something as top as The Man from U.N.C.L.E. because, as much as I love Armie Hammer, Gyllenhaal is a step up. Not so sure about Eiza Gonzalez but she was also in Ungentlemanly Behavior with Cavill. Ritchie does have his favorites. Your host will be in seat E5, let's plan on getting dinner afterwards.

All: The organizers will be there shortly after 11:00 am when the gate opens to get us a spot to meet up. We will post our location. Bring a lawn chair or something to sit on. If anyone can get there early to help me claim some spots would be great. One of my favorite events in the area, called Wine in the Woods will be our next stop for this amazing group. The event is at Merriweather in Columbia and has music, wine, food and vendors. **This is a paid event and a ticket will be needed to get in. Link to get ticket is below.** They have several different ticket pricing plans. There is parking in a nearby garage and parking is also available in the Columbia Mall https://www.wineinthewoods.com

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 3–6 (subtiers 3–4 and 5–6). The Pathfinder Society begins a perilous trek through the swamps and jungles of the Mwangi Expanse, searching for the location where the founding members of their organization formed the Open Road Pact. The clues the Pathfinders must follow are centuries old, however, and their best lead is the final logs of an ancient Pathfinder whose true fate may be markedly different than the world has been led to believe. Written by: Chris Sims Scenario tags: Metaplot

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 1–4 (subtiers 1–2 and 3–4). The Pathfinders travel to Iobaria, where elven druids and centaur warriors are united against an unlikely threat: a self-propogating horde of corrupted leshys! The source of the Abyssal corruption may be tied to a previous trip to Iobaria by the Pathfinder Society, so it falls to the PCs to seek out the source of the leshy incursion and restore balance to the woodlands.

IMPORTANT INFO: I strongly suggest not reading anything about it online before seeing it. It's best viewed with no previous knowledge. This documentary contains crude terminology and deals with cyberbullying, which may be a trigger for some folks. AGAIN, PLEASE DO NOT EVEN READ ABOUT IT BEFORE YOU SEE IT. A very unusual choice for his group...

It also explores the increasingly great impact of the harassment on the community, the eventual reveal of the culprit, and the trial that followed. Please be ready to discuss the movie by 7PM. We suggest arriving early enough to order and get food beforehand. Thanks. Unfortunately, it is only available on Netflix. If you would like to attend but do not have Netflix, say so and maybe we can figure something out.
