MAY GATHERING

The Raleighwood Cinema Grill at 6609 Falls of Neuse Road in north Raleigh will be the site of our gathering on Friday, May 8. The Raleighwood is a movie theater like no other. Seating is at tables in comfortable padded swivel chairs where waitstaff serve casual food, desserts, wine, beer, and soft drinks.

So what movie are we going to see? How about a light and fun romantic comedy like HE"S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Aniston or ALL ABOUT STEVE with Sandra Bullock. The weekly movie-runs open on Fridays and are made public on Wednesdays so I'll send out an email Wednesday afternoon advising you of the movie title and confirming the starting time.

The ticket window opens one hour before the movie and seating is done 30 minutes before showtime to allow for food and drink orders to be taken. Most likely the movie will begin at 7:00 PM so it would be good to be there at 6:00 as some shows do sell out.

I find that the food at the Raleighwood is quite ordinary and quite pricey. So being the cheapskate that I am, I'll probably just drink and snack at the theater and save my money and calories for a treat after the movie at Baskin Robbins/Dunkin Donuts where we can gather to discuss the movie. It's just down from the theater and stays open until 10:30 PM.
