A little history....

The year: 2005. Chad, Stef, Paul and I decide to share our love for movies with our need to interact, eat some good food, drink a couple of cold ones discuss movies for a whole weekend. We decide to hold a 3 day long barrage of movies. It was originally thought to be only one category for the whole weekend, changing every year....so for example, we'd focus on Spanish movies of the 1980s one year, Humphrey Bogart movies the next year and movies involving violins the next year. But we scaled it down a good bit, to 4 movies voted by our original panel. 1 on Friday, 2 on Saturday, and a last one on Sunday. 4 movies in the weekend, and at the end we hold a vote on the favorite one.
Pretty simple stuff really. But we made it official and democratic.

We added Heather, Erin and Rob to our selection panel. Each member of the panel nominates any 2 movies they wish to nominate, and then we vote on our two favorite ones. We'd each bring a dish and basically spend all weekend together.

The end result? A lot of great movies, great food and a great time hanging out with friends.
