))<>(( Back and Forth. Forever.

For Cine-Dips #3 we watched Me, You and Everyone We Know at Steven and Stephanie's house


Steven and Stephanie's house is the super coolest. There's rad art . . . 


and kitties galore.





Stephanie and Steven made a delicious ? layer bean dip. I think the final count was 4 layers. Matt made a cucumber curry dip. For drinks we had Sofia Coppola champagne in cans with bendy straws and whiskey and ginger cocktails.





Everything was delicious and everyone had a great time.





The best picture of the night award goes to Stephanie for "Close Your Legs You Whore!"


Classy.

Thanks Steven, Stephanie, Gracie, Stella, Oswald and Logan!

Cine-dips #3!


The third installment of Cine-dips will be held this Saturday, April 25th, at Steven and Stephanie's house. A firm commitment to a movie has not been made yet, but that will be posted later this week. If you don't know the address, please email Stephanie at concrete kitty at hotmail dot com.

EDIT:Okay, we decided that we are going to watch "Me and You and Everyone We Know" from writer and director Miranda July. Like most of our favorite movies, it's a post-modern look at isolation, love and sexual dysfunction, and it is very lovely and funny.

Dips and drinks will begin at 8 PM!

Cine-Dips #2 at Jason and Yvonne's was a fantastic evening full of doggies and drinks and dips. Here are my pictures of the evening (they're mostly of the doggies)





Here's one of Stephanie looking very pretty


here are the adorable mini-beers I brought to make everyone look just a little bit more girly in keeping with the theme of the film.


And here is Jason and Yvonne's adorable neighbor Roger.


We had a great time. Thanks Jason and Yvonne and doggies! (I think my mouth is full of dip in this picture).


Details on the next Cine-Dips coming soon.
