Special Events
The Babes attended a special showing of Gone with the Wind at the Regal Winrock Theater on Sunday, March 17, 2019 to celebrate the film's 80th anniversary. The showing lasted 4 hours with a brief intermission half-way through. Monica, who qualifies as a member ex officio joined us. Laverne planned to see the film at another time. We all agreed that both book and movie still qualify as great even after all of these years.
Afterward, after finding a table out of the glare of the sun, we had a nice dinner out at the Elephant Bar Restaurant at the nearby ABQ Uptown. |
On February 8, 2019, a lovely gathering was held at Marsha's where we viewed the film based on Graham Greene's The Heart of the Matter. The film was difficult to obtain in a format able to be viewed by today's technology and the audio was somewhat difficult to hear. The film left out much of the events in the book, and some of the Babes wondered how a person who had not first read the novel could have followed it.
The best things about the evening: the Babes wearing 1940s attire, the delicious cocktails provided by Chris, meeting Chris, a high school friend of Babe Chris, delicious food (even though some idiot forgot to bring the salad.) |
