Movie Marathon Rudiments:

Movie Marathon lasts from ~8 p.m. Friday (sometimes earlier) through ~midnight Sunday/Monday. Come and go as you please throughout the weekend. You can stay the whole time and watch all the movies, or as many as you can stay awake for. Please request bed/couch/futon/air mattress or just floor space in advance... and bring a comforter, sleeping bag, boo bankie, or woozawoodja; pillows, jammies, etc.

Movies are only part of the Marathon experience; a comfy, mostly mellow party (e.g., there hasn't been a barrel of gasoline in decades) goes on around the films, in adjacent rooms and the lanai. Folks may well play board or card games, etc. and/or make some music throughout the weekend. And folks may wanna daytrip... Cocoa Beach is RIGHT OVER THAR and Cocoa Village in the opposite direction.

Contributions to food and drink are welcome! Finger-foods are a good idea, and of course one can't ever have too many cakes or cookies. Ditto on liquid refreshments, soft, medium, or hard: I keep a pretty well-stocked bar, but if you have a particular libation of choice and want to bring enough to share, rock on.

If you found this page, it means you probably received an evite already. If not, or if you want to have a paper invitation sent to you, or if you need more info about the 'thon (e.g., coordinating food & bev; driving or public transit directions), feel free to call Gourd at 301.467.7567 or email fr.defenestrato@gmail.com.
