Greetings,
This weekend (May 5 & 6 2012) will be my last full weekend in Houston, Texas. And it seems appropriate that this final Houston weekend would be the one in which I have my last Houston Movie Party.
I have been holding "Movie Parties" since 1975 with the first movie being "Jaws". Since that impromptu gathering of college friends, I have had a movie party every year since. Somewhere, in some long-lost word-processing file, I have a list of all the films that were the centerpieces of those annual parties...not having that list before me, all I can say is that it is long and covers almost every type of movie you can imagine. Some of the titles that come to mind are, "The Empire Strikes Back", "Goldeneye", "Superman II", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade", "Poltergeist", "The Rocketeer", "Lady Hawke", "Spiderman", "Captain America: The First Avenger" and many, many more.
This weekend I am getting together a few very close friends to see "The Avengers". And while I know the movie will be a blast (reviews from last week's London open are fantastic!) the best part of these few hours of movie party madness will be sharing time with my friends...and making memories that I will cherish for all the days of my life.

Wish I were close enough to make it to your famous (infamous?) movie party, but I'll be thinking about you.
