Sometimes there's things more important than pit beef

May Cine-dips had modern photography, pubic hair, and art show food, just as any good evening of movie-viewing does.



Manna, your hand-rolled sushi was impressive and delicious.


And Ficoco is one of my new favorite dips.


Here's Fawkes before I provoked her too much.


Overall, I would say that the evening was hypnotique.


We love watching movies with the projector.


Thanks for having us over Manna, Matt, Fawkes, and Kitty.

Call me, if you ever feel too old to drive

I never got around to posting my photos from the April Cine-dips...until now!

We watched "Me and You and Everyone We Know" at my house!


I was there, and so was Manna...


...and so was everyone we know (well, give or take a few).


Of course, there were dips.


And it was BYOP because I have limited seating.



Thanks for coming over to watch one of my top ten favorite movies.

"I love you lil' Chrissy. No matter what."

We had a great time watching Pecker last night. 

There was a perfect gallery-opening-like array of food.

I rolled some lovely vegetarian sushi.

Matt made a delicious wasabi dip.

Stephanie and Steven brought an array of fresh delectable fruit and a fig jam spread.

Please note Stephanie's admirable packing job.

Jason and Yvonne brought a big peckeroni, I mean, pepperoni and some amazing artisan crackers of which I evidently failed to take a picture of. Jason must have been busy bludgeoning the pepperoni to death with my dull as crap knives while I was going around taking pictures.

...and Jason wins the prize for being the only person I took a picture of all night. I call this one, Hypnotique.

Thanks for coming everyone, we had a great time. Can't wait for next month's cine-dips!

Pecker!

We've finally decided on this month's film. We will be watching John Water's Pecker.

Cine-Dips will be at Manna and Matt's and will start at 7-ish with dips and drinks. The movie will start around 8pm.

Manna will be rolling veggie california rolls (shaped like peckers!) and Matt will be making a wasabi dip. Feel free to bring your own pecker-inspired dips and drinks.

See you Saturday.

  

May Cine-Dips

This month cine-dips will be Saturday May 30th at Manna and Matt's. Matt is still deciding on a film. We'll keep you posted. In the meantime, check out this amazing old toaster from the 1920s:

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!
