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.

The movie festival is officially big time now! We've got a website now. No word yet if Penelope Cruz has accepted the invitation to attend....
Not sure if you know this, but she's dating Javier Bardem. After watching No Country For Old Men, I know that he's not someone I want to mess with or make angry. He might just show up in your bedroom one day with a coin saying "Call It" in a deep voice. And when he does, just call something man...its a 50-50 shot.
Celebrity interest would drive up the hype and interest...you keep working on that. Just don't get Senior Bardem involved in any of this. As much as I respect him I don't want to see him at Stef's place.
