MATCH CUT MOVIE CLUB
Every three months, my friends Greg and Alex and I rent out a movie
theater in Portland to show an underappreciated movie we think
everyone will enjoy seeing on a big screen, with a friendly crowd. We
don't tell you what the movie is, though—show up and be pleasantly
surprised.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you like my stuff.
