Greetings fellow propaganders! Apologies for the short notice, but by now you should know the drill. On the 2nd Tuesday of March we once again open our doors and invite you to join for P&P #17. The feature movie this month is Milk which tells the story of San Francisco's politician Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to be elected for public office in California, who in 1978 was murdered along with Mayor George Moscone by disgruntled city supervisor Dan White. Here is the Trailer:



The obvious potluck theme this month would have been Milk of course, but we decided to take it a bit further and instead have a fondue dinner! Melted cheese and melted chocolate are also made of milk so I think it counts. Thanks Angela for the wonderful idea!



We do ask for your help however - if you have a fondue cooking set that we can borrow please let us know (even if you can’t make it to the evening). We'll probably need a few of them to feed everybody with both cheese and chocolate style fondue. Also, it would be great if you can post what you intend to bring on the event wall. We could use some salads and light side dishes to complement the main course and fruits/berries to dip in chocolate at the end. If you want to make one of the fondue dishes yourself then that's good too!

Tentative schedule for the evening:
07:30 - 08:30 Gathering and fondue setup.
08:30 - 09:30 Community potluck fondue dinner.
09:30 - 11:40 Feature presentation: Milk (129 minutes).

Hope to see you!

From the people who brought you The Story of Stuff comes another illustrated short covering the basics of "Cap & Trade".

Outfoxed (2004) provides a close look at Fox News, the network which promotes itself as "Fair and Balanced", and examines the dangers of corporations taking control of the public's right to know.

Greetings Friends! Please join us for P&P #16, as we travel back in time to 1969 and the summer of love. Taking Woodstock tells the story of the people who brought the festival to its location in Bethel, New York, expecting 50,000 people and getting 400,000... Here is the trailer:



The potluck theme this month is LOVE. In the spirit of the summer of love bring anything that warms your heart or makes you remember the ones you care about. It's a good opportunity to practice your Valentine's Day recipe!

Tentative schedule for the evening:
07:30 - 08:30 Gathering.
08:30 - 09:30 Community potluck dinner. Theme: Love.
09:30 - 11:30 Feature presentation: Taking Woodstock (121 minutes).

We'd love to have you over!

An excellent talk which ties together cellular biology, genetics, and the mind-body connection. If you are not familiar with Bruce Lipton's work this is a great intro.

Happy New Year and hope you are enjoying the holiday season! Don’t forget to keep some energy on reserve for the New Year’s mega weekend - OMG it’s going to be a memorable one for sure... I am once again delighted to invite you to join us on the 2nd Tuesday of the month, for a night of friends, food, entertainment and conversation. What better way to kick start 2010?

This month's feature film is "Jarhead". Directed by Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Road to Perdition) this movie is based on U.S. Marine Anthony Swofford's 2003 Gulf War memoir of the same name. Having seen very little actual combat during the war (like most of the half million troops stationed there), Swofford's story tends to focus on topics that are not often discussed in war movies. Trailer:



The potluck theme this month is winter. Bring your favorite soup, stew, pie, or alternatively something that's in compliance with your New Year resolution (whatever it is).

Tentative schedule for the evening:
07:30 - 08:30 Gathering.
08:30 - 09:30 Community potluck dinner. Theme: Winter.
09:30 - 11:30 Feature presentation: Jarhead (125 minutes)

Hope to see you and launch the year in style together!

How would you behave under similar conditions?



There used to be a much better video online, focusing about the experiment itself and explaining the conditions, but looks like it was pulled for copyright reasons. Read more about the experiment here.
