OK! Since the last Rifftrax/party at my house there hasn't been a single weekend when I could host this. But I can now!
Saturday, May 16 changed to May 23rd, 6pm
Movie: X-Files: Fight the Future
Bring your own meat to BBQ and a side dish or desert to share.
I will provide drinks, paper products, and chips and salsa. Please let me know if this date works for you.
-
How do these work with kids? (Arrived in Utah yesterday.)
-
People do bring their kids. What we usually do is put a movie on upstairs for them to watch while we're downstairs watching the riff. And then they proceed to spill drinks, throw popcorn around, and make a general mess unsupervised, but for the most part leave the adults alone ;)
Fell/Sprig/EUOL/etc all know how to get to my house, but if you want directions from me, PM me and I'll send them to you.
My emails for Tage/Fell aren't working if someone could please forward this information to them.
-
Aww, I wish I could be there. Ari graduates here that weekend, though.
-
May I come again? I had a blast at the last one.
-
Argh, that's the one weekend I'll be in Idaho. I can still drop off the iPod w/ player if you're going to do it that weekend. I sent you an email with details.

DOH
I tried to choose a weekend when you would be available. We can switch it to the 23rd if that works for people, too.
-
Whenever you decide, if I am free that weekend, could I join in the festivities?
-
Well I definitely vote to switch it to the 23rd, so I can come. :)
-
You live in Utah, Miyabi?
-
Idaho, I'm two hours north of Salt Lake. :]
-
23rd is fine with us too.
-
Rifftrax are always fun. Is the BBQ open to noobies to the list too?
-
Yes any TWGer is invited.
-
Yay! I'll be there. I deleted the pm with your address. Will you send it to me again?
-
Can I get it PMed to me as well? Thanks. :]
-
Yes any TWGer is invited.
Whoo hoo! I bet the Rifftrax is good too . . . guys head on a girls body . . . how can you NOT have something funny to say about that!
-
So did we officially switch it to the 23rd? Please say yes. :)
-
She edited the first post to say that, so I assume so.
-
I'll bring a potato salad. I make it pretty good. :] Nessa, could you PM your address please? Thanks.
-
I thought Myabi had been devoured by the infamous Midterms Monster.
-
No, was just busy one day and in SLC the other day. ha ha.
-
OH NO!!!
NO! NO! NO! NO!
Um, I just realized that the BBQ is planned for the Saturday of Conduit.
LOL, am I the only one going to Conduit?
-
Some people are going to both, Conduit during the day, then Rifftrax in the evening (well, 6:00 counts as evening).
-
Ah, okay, I'll try doing the same then. I've never been to Conduit so I'm not really sure what its like. Other cons I've been too get started around 6.
-
Eh? Well, the partying (other cons, haven't been to Conduit), but every con I've been to breaks for dinner around then and doesn't have anything important scheduled after that. (Just filking and other stuff that runs all hours.)
-
Think those rowdies at CONduit are going to get drunk and caffeinated. :P
What is Rifftrax anyway? Is that like Karaoke?
-
Not officially, but it's true that we usually end up with a lot of audience participation.

If you know about Mystery Science Theater 3000, it's by some of the same guys.
-
So did we officially switch it to the 23rd? Please say yes. :)
Yes it's offically on the 23rd now. I'm firing up the grill at 6pm. People usually straggle in for the next two hours after that. We'll start the movie at 8 for those who don't want to come for food and just want to watch the movie.
I believe I sent a PM to all those requesting directions to my house. If you still need directions to my house let me know.
-
Sweet, 8 is perfect. I was worried about missing is cause I wanted to hear Mt. Wolverton talk at 5. :D
-
Well, my cousin happens to be getting married in Utah on that exact day (a week from this Saturday, yes?)
Normally I wouldn't go up to these sorts of things (receptions), but my mother wants to go to the reception, and I figured this would be a good opportunity (since I'm available) to drive up with her and show up to the party.
So I'll be making an appearance (and Ari will be with me), yay! Unfortunately, my cousin's reception is in Ceder Hills and goes from 6-8:30. I'll do my very best to bow out of the reception early (Frankly, I don't personally need to be there more than an hour, but I also won't have my own car...), but any delay to the start time of the movie would be much appreciated. Alternatively, if anyone happens to be near Ceder Hills and wants to make a detour to pick us up early....
-
Uwah!!! I feel like I'm going to be in the presence of TWG royalty with all of these mods around. I don't know if I'm more excited or worried. (j/k... mostly...)
-
I'll be excited to put faces to more people. I think I've met Dan, Mi'chelle, Jakobus (I forget his real name. . . . he hasn't been around in a while . . . ), Brandon . . . that's it I think.
-
Sprig was at the HoA release party as well. He was sitting behind the WE table running everything.
-
I KNEW I was forgetting someone. ha ha. What is his real name anyway. >>'
-
(Someone correct me if I'm wrong) I think it's Jordon.
-
It is Jordan, until you've spent more than 5 minutes talking to him, after which it becomes Jordo.
-
Or just "J-money". (j/k)
-
It's coming up this weekend people! Don't forget, I'm firing up the BBQ at 6ish, bring your own meat and a side or desert to share. I'll have drinks, paper plates, napkins, and condiments, and make yummy salsa and chips.
The movie starts at 8ish.
If you need directions PM me.
-
Okay, so there's a very slight chance that I might be able to come to this. Mostly because I'll already be at CONduit for that entire day. Never been to anything TWG-sponsored. Still, sounds like it'll be a lot of fun.
-
(by the way, any of you who aren't Mormon, this is a DRY party, kk?)
-
Hope you have a blast tonight.
-
We did indeed have a blast. It was good to see some new faces, like Erik Holmes and WriterDan, who haven't come to any of these things before.
-
And, again, no X-Files. We seem incapable of bringing the riff and the movie together at my house.
Instead we watched Spider-Man and it was a great riff.
-
I really enjoyed seeing some people again and it was good to meet some new people. :]
-
I had a lot of fun. Thanks again Nessa for having us over.
-
Oh, and that salsa you made was really good.
-
Oh yeah! Can I have a copy of the recipe.
-
Hey all, thanks for the chance to come and meet some people. Was fun and would definitely be open to coming back for another round some time. Sorry I ended up having to bail early. The way things go sometimes, I guess. See you all around.
-
Which one were you? ha ha.
Sorry, there were a lot of people I hadn't met.
-
Oh yeah! Can I have a copy of the recipe.
Nessa's Fresh Salsa
1 bell pepper (orange is best, in my opinion)
1/2 cup sweet onion
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
2 Tbsp white vingear
2 tsp sugar
1-2 cloves minced fresh garlic
2 tsp salt (or to taste)
Pulse in food processor til chunky consistency. Then add:
5-8 Medium-sized ripe tomatoes cut in quarters
Pulse until tomatoes are consistent size.
Serve immediately. It doesn't store well, it gets all oniony tasting so it's best to just make as much as will be eaten immediately.
-
Thank you Nessa! I'm going to make that for the next family bbq we have. (All credits to you of course)
-
It was indeed fun, and we're sorry we couldn't have shown up earlier.
Like I said there, we'd be happy to host one of these at our house sometime, but I think it might be difficult to entice some of you folks to make the trip down to Reno... let us know if anyone's ever headed down this way.
-
Which one were you?
Big, tall, ugly...uh, late. ;D Yellow shirt and blue jeans.
How bout yourself? I only caught forum names from Tage, 42, and I figured out Nessa.
-
I was the blond kid with the bright colored jacket.
-
I was this guy: http://bit.ly/UpimB

My sympathies. :P
-
Ummm?

HA!
