Potluck and Propaganda

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.

The movie Catch 22 (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 link to the trailer.



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: Finger Food Ideas. If you don't feel like cooking then just bring some drinks or simply your fabulous self!

Tentative schedule for the evening:
07:30 - 08:30 Gathering.
08:30 - 09:30 Community potluck dinner. Theme: Finger Foods.
09:30 - 11:30 Feature presentation: Catch 22 (121 minutes)

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...

Potluck and Propaganda is aimed to present information and encourage critical thinking. Let go of your belief systems (BS) and investigate different reality tunnels. The views and opinions expressed during the events do not necessarily reflect the ones of P&P, its organizers or participants.

Thanks everyone for coming to another P&P, even though it turned out that most of you have already seen the movie... I guess I am the last San Franciscan who still hasn't! Update for those who couldn't make it - after devouring 4 lbs of cheese and 1 lbs of chocolate we ended up doing a short "open decks" session since the Fondue took longer than expected and many people had to leave early. Here is the just of it (hope I didn't forget anything):
