                Greetings P&P friends! I'd like to once again invite you to be a part of our monthly gathering which will take place as usual on the 2nd Tuesday of the month. The last three events were influenced by the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico so this month we are going to take a break and watch something a bit lighter.<br />
<br />
The movie <strong>Catch 22</strong> (1970) is a cult classic, based on Joseph Heller's book by the same name. It tells the story of a Word War II air force bombardier Yossarian and his attempts to get discharged from the military on the grounds of insanity. Much like M.A.S.H., this parody focuses on "military mentality" and bureaucratic societies in general.  BTW, did I mention that this is P&P event no.22? Anyway, here is a <a href="http://www.zuguide.com/Catch-22.html&ei=9vRVTN7OIYH68Aaz0o2sAw&usg=AFQjCNHDrVCSldj3LD1gjKe3RsiHx35gVA&sig2=ujNuQMxA3Zueo9UdQ8YCyg" target="_blank">link to the trailer</a>.<br />

<br />
Potluck theme for this month is Finger Foods! Bring your favorite buffet style dish, tapas recipe or anything that come in small pieces. Here are some ideas to inspire you: <a href="http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/food/best-recipes/fabulous-finger-foods" target="_blank">Finger Food Ideas</a>. If you don't feel like cooking then just bring some drinks or simply your fabulous self!<br />
<br />
Tentative schedule for the evening:<br />
07:30 - 08:30 Gathering.<br />
08:30 - 09:30 Community potluck dinner. Theme: <strong>Finger Foods</strong>.<br />
09:30 - 11:30 Feature presentation: Catch 22 (121 minutes)<br />
<br />
Hope you can make it! P&P is going to go on a hiatus after the October event so I'd really like to see as many of you lovely people as possible before taking off...<br />

                Greetings friends! Hope you can join us for P&P number 20! That's right folks, P&P is no longer a teen and we will be celebrating the beginning of our 2nd decade (well, kinda) on the THIRD week of June, Tuesday the 15th. Apologies for the short notice about the new date. I really hope you can squeeze us into your busy schedule.<br />
<br />
 Last month we were already in the midst of the disaster in the gulf, and sadly this f**k-up is still far from over. The accident begs the question - are we not all responsible in some way to the general problem? Don't we all have an impact on the planet?<br />
Well many of us try our best, but here is a guy that took this question to the extreme! The movie <strong>No Impact Man</strong> tells the story of Colin Beavan who has been writing a <a href="http://noimpactman.typepad.com/" title="No Impact Man Blog" target="_blank">blog by the same name</a> since 2007 and exploring what it really means to live with zero footprint. Here is the trailer:<br />

<br />
Potluck theme for this month is Cajun Cuisine! Let's have a meal in honor of the states along the golf that are already starting to experience the consequences. Bring a southern dish, southern drink, or just your southern self!<br />
<br />
Tentative schedule for the evening:<br />
07:30 - 08:30 Gathering.<br />
08:30 - 09:30 Community potluck dinner. Theme: <strong>Cajun Food</strong>.<br />
09:30 - 11:00 Feature presentation: No Impact Man (90 minutes)<br />

Please come!<br />

                Hello everybody! Please join us once again on the 2nd Tuesday of the month for P&P - an evening of flavors, entertainment and information. It's been almost 3 months since the Deepwater Horizon oil rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and unfortunately the ongoing spill seem far from over. During this time there has been lot's of talks about finding safer alternatives for oil as a source of energy, natural gas being one of them. But is it really a safer alternative?<br />
<br />
To look closer into the issue and learn more about the risks and benefits, the movie we'll watch this month is <strong>Gasland</strong> which won the Sundance Film Festival Special Jury Prize of 2010 and recently aired on HBO. I hear it's very interesting. Here is the trailer:<br />
<br />
<object width="500" height="310"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/dZe1AeH0Qz8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/dZe1AeH0Qz8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="310"></embed></object><br />
<br />
Even though this is the 3rd month in a row that we are looking into environmental issues I really hope that you'll find the time to join us and inform yourself about this important topic. I promise that next month we'll take a break from this topic and focus on something much lighter...<br />
<br />
Potluck theme for this month is Summer! Please share your favorite summer dish, drink, or anything else for that matter. Local organic ice cream will also be provided.<br />
<br />
Tentative schedule for the evening:<br />
07:30 - 08:30 Gathering.<br />
08:30 - 09:30 Community potluck dinner. Theme: <strong>Summer</strong>.<br />
09:30 - 11:15 Feature presentation: Gasland (107 minutes)<br />
<br />
Hope you can make it!<br />

                Hello fellow propaganders! As always we will be delighted if you could join us for another installation of P&P. We’ve all heard about the oil rig disaster in the Gulf of Mexico so I think it would be appropriate if this month we take a closer look at the relationship between humans and life in the oceans. Our movie this May is <strong>The Cove</strong>, winner of the 2009 academy award for best documentary film. It follows an elite team of activists, filmmakers and freedivers as they embark on a covert mission to penetrate a remote and hidden cove in Taiji, Japan, shining a light on a dark and deadly secret... Here is the trailer:<br />
<br />
<object width="500" height="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4KRD8e20fBo&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4KRD8e20fBo&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="400"></embed></object><br />
<br />
This movie is not very long so we might have some time for open decks (no promises). If you have a short video to share please send me the link or have it handy when you come over.<br />
<br />
To show solidarity with our neighbors from the south, the potluck theme this month is MEXICAN FOOD. Ay caramba! Bring your leftovers from Cinco de Mayo and toast to some margaritas with us!<br />
 <br />
Tentative schedule for the evening:<br />
07:30 - 08:30 Gathering.<br />
08:30 - 09:30 Community potluck dinner. Theme: <strong>Mexican Food</strong>.<br />
09:30 - 11:00 Feature presentation: The Cove (92 minutes)<br />
<br />
Hope to see you!<br />
