MOVIE NIGHT July 16th + dinner in Oakland.

[Guest guest]

Hey Everyone,

 

Come on over to the east bay Friday, July 16 for a fun evening of food and film.

 

First, dinner at the legendary Golden Lotus restaurant at 1301 Franklin St. in

Oakland. We'll meet at 5:50pm sharp. (Look for me wearing my fuzzy red scarf!)

We'll just order a bunch of vegan items from the menu, and gobble them up,

family style.

 

Then, at 7pm or so we'll make our way to the spectacular Oakland Paramount

Theater for friday movie night. There you'll be entertained by Jim Riggs on the

theater's organ (22 tons of musical hardware, all acoustic!), then a cartoon,

newsreel, vintage coming attractions, the mighty dec-o-wheel game, and finally

the evening's feature presentation, " The Wiz " (1978)

 

good stuff. Read the NY Times movie review at

Dinner cost will be split among the participants -- cost is about $13-$14 each.

Tickets for the Paramount are $6 each and I recommend getting it in advance from

the Paramount box office.

 

Please RSVP to me No Later Than Thursday, July 15 if you want to go...
