Any fellow Jean-Pierre Jeunet fans interested in getting together for a viewing of "Micmacs" on Saturday? It's playing at the Kendall Square Cinema at 11am, 1:30pm, 4pm, 6:45pm, and 9:25pm.

"Delicatessen" was a bit shocking when I saw it in HS and I haven't seen it in a while. "City of Lost Children" was a glorious, cinematic beauty reminiscent of Terry Gilliam and "Amelie" was, well, cute and fun. I haven't seen any of his other works but "Micmacs" looks most like "City of Lost Children".

I think 11am is too early and 9:25pm is a bit late having to trek back to Salem but I could ostensibly do lunch and hit the 1:30pm, do the 4pm and go out for dinner, or do dinner and go out to the 6:45pm.

Depending on the critical mass, I could go for a 9:25 but I know there are a few parties going on that night and, frankly, I've been a bit partial to being in bed with a book by that time.

Anyway - I haven't really thought about which of the three times pique my interest most. I've never really explored the culinary options near the theater before either.

Thoughts? Interest?

So the kids are on vacation and off at their in-laws. My wife joined them Wed night. So it's just me, the dog and the cat.

Tonight, I've decided to see Theatre@First's production of "Dracula" at the Elizabeth Peabody House at 8pm. I was in a similar production in High School where I played Van Helsing. Incidentally the group involved in this show when on to create a Community Theatre group called "The Merely Players" named (I think) more after one of my HS friend's favorite RUSH song than Shakespeare.

Thus my car is parked at MIT and I'm coming from work at Government Center. I'd love to get together with a friend/some friends and grab a bite to eat or even some coffee before the show. I think somewhere in Kendall Sq OR Davis Sq would be easiest and then a little after 7, I'd head over to park for the show.

Anyone game? There are so many of you on my Friends List I have yet to meet in person or have met very peripherally. I'm willing to drive out further as long as I can get to the Elizabeth Peabody House by about 7:30pm.
