Reshedule - Sunday, Oct. 25th - 11AM

An Unlikely Weapon' -- about Eddie Adams and his Pulitzer Prize winning photo

Details: Screening of An Unlikely Weapon - documentary
When: Sun. Oct. 18, 2009
Time: 11AM
Where: 954 King Street West - access behind building

Here is the synopsis of the film: http://www.anunlikelyweapon.com/synopsis.html

Here is more about Eddie Adams if you're not familiar with him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Adam ... grapher%29

The film will be shown in the theatre, access through the back of the building down the staircase.

Please be on time, bring your own lunch (take the trash with you please) or we can order pizzas.

Capacity limited to 25 people - some seats but most people will have to sit on the carpeted floor.

I would prefer the pizza ordering option but will pack a lunch if nobody else is ordering.

Can we bring a portable folding chair instead of sitting on the floor, or is it better to sit on the floor?

ah crap.. wish I was in town for this one.

if there is enough interest we can order pizza...

please don't bring your own chair, come early and you may get a seat... the floor is clean, the theatre is rarely used...

Is there a cost to attend the screening?

no cost per se, but I'm taking donations for my 'help Ken buy a Leica M9 fund' ;P

Apologies for this, but I will need to reschedule this screening - I'm thinking the following Sunday, October 25th at 11AM - same place.

Does that work for those who've already signed up?

Ken

Sweet, finally the film comes to the big T.O.! Oct 25 is perfect! Thanks Ken for setting it up!

Still works for me.

I'm going to have to bail, as I am planning to be in New York that weekend.

Ken -- I will courier the DVD to you or meet up with you at some point before then to hand it off.

I should still be okay.

Carrie - apologies for the late notice. I'm sure we'll be able to meet up before you head to NYC.

Give me a call or PM me at your convenience.

Ken

If you want pizza please post a message indicating so and identify any food allergies or preferences. I plan to order the pizza in advance so that it arrives in time for the start of the screening.

Please remember to bring some cash so that you can contribute to the cost of the pizza.

PIZZA

- no allergies
- not vegetarian (but will eat a slice or two if offered)
- no anchovies or hot peppers

ah crap.. wish I wasn't working that day too

Enjoy everyone!

Pizza, no allergies. Just no anchovies or pineapple. Not a vegetarian, but I'm happy with a veggie pizza if it simplifies things.

My plans have changed... hope there will be another showing some other time!

I had a rescheduling at work and can no longer make it. Sorry for the short notice. Hopefully there will be another screening or of something else. Would be fun to watch the movie and just hang out with TPMG'ers without a camera.

Have fun and thank you to Ken and Carrie for organizing this for us.

Hey Ken,

I caught the flu on thursday and its still a littel stormy over here so I won't be able to join you guys tomorrow. Enjoy the movie!

Pete,

Not feeling too well tonight so I don't know if I'll be able to make it. At any rate, if I do make it, no pizza for me thanks.

great documentary and lovely theatre, thanks Ken for hosting, I felt like a VIP for a premiere screening (hehe) and Carrie for the dvd.

A moving eulogy of a great man. Ken, and all who made it possible, thank you for the chance to see it.

Thanks for setting this up Ken!

you're very welcome. special thanks to Carrie for couriering the DVD to me before she left for Chicago earlier this week...

I am more than happy to keep it loaned out for another screening somewhere, if anyone wants to set one up. Maybe mid-November/early December, when it's too cold to do anything else!

Let me know below if you're interested and we'll figure something out.

Thanks Carrie & Ken for setting this up.
It was a really good documentary and I'm glad I got the chance to see it.
