Long Way Down M&G (movie & greet) this Thursday @ Grapevine

[caffeinejunkee]

So where and at what time is the group meeting? Is there a dinner/beer meet beforehand? 

[Cyclone]

  Wilhoite's or Esparza's in Grapevine could be good meeting spots - I would prefer Esparza's ( their Margaritas are pretty good as is the food ). 

Wilhoite's has more " american" food ( the food is ok) and seems to be a popular harley - big dog chopper hangout.  It would be easy to find each other at Wilhoite's because we would all be the ones with helmets !   

I could probably be at either one at 6:00 PM - Do we need to buy our theater tickets in advance? Think this will sell out ?  Seems unlikely unless all the 59ers show up !  [moto]  I just checked their forum & it looks like they are heading to Cinemark at Webb's Chapel & 635.

Not too keen on Wilhoit's but Esparza's is a winner - tons of parking behind the building and, yeah, their Margaritas are legendary.

I'm going to seriously try and make this one - on the bike!  No, really

+1 for Esparza's 

I'll be on the bike as well.  [moto]

Have a great time at this one!  I hope the movie is as good as the "Long Way Round" was.  If you haven't already read the book, I recommend it.

 [moto] Margaritas courtesy of the Cyclone tonight at Esparza's in Grapevine - even if you don't hit the movie afterwards - come on out !  [moto]

[bryant8]

I don't think I'll be able to make it out to Esparaza's or the movie. 

[Cyclone]

BUMP - for my offer to buy Margaritas @ Esparza's

So far there is just me    , Cyclonette  , Mr. Caffeine  , & Ms. Cher/n2f  [moto] !  George - you started this thread - you coming ?

I'll be there at 5:30 and will grab a table for 8 in case others can make it !  I am the one that looks like Ewan McGregor ( ok - my helmet looks like his but is much, much bigger  ) but drinks like Charley Boorman  .

[caffeinejunkee]

Well, no beating that crowd...sold out at 10AM today. There were a few of us two-wheel folks turned away. We should have convinced them to do a parking lot showing. 

Anyway, great to hang out with Cyclone, Cyclonette, and Cher at Esparza's.

Donald, again, thanks for everything. 

George, you'll have to post up about the movie, and please don't tell us if there were empty seats.

ALL the theaters were sold out   You would think they would add an extra show or two when it sells out that fast!  It's because of crap like that that I really do not feel for theaters "struggling" due to the economy or pirating.  They have an opportunity to make some cash, but do not seize the opportunity.

The movie was OUT*^%(&^ING_STANDING!!!   

A documentary about a movie star and some friends who rode BMWs from Scotland to Cape Town, South Africa, and yet so much more... the people they met, the genocidic horrors they unveiled and the international apathy that allowed them to take place, the simmering savagery and the omnipresent brutality of almost every aspect of life on the African continent.  Incredible.

The entire epic is being aired by BBC Productions on (I think) the Speed Channel starting tonight, Aug 2.  See your TV listings for time and channel.   

Pura vida!
