Forbidden Thrills at Forbidden Island: Monday Nite Movies

Pages: 1 40 replies

I've created a scaled back, pared down version of Thrillville, sans the frills, called FORBIDDEN THRILLS. Already hosted two successful events so far.
Cocktails and cult movies, one Monday a month, programmed and presented by yours truly, with prizes, cocktail specials, and free popcorn! No cover.

NEXT: ELVIS D-DAY TIKI PARTY, Monday, August 16, 7:30 - movies (surprise), music, prizes, cocktail specials and of course, peanut butter and banana sandwiches.

These postcards by Tanoa Stewart have the upcoming lineup, more on my official schedule page including the ever-popular SHATFEST next May

See a lot you next month when Monica Tiki Goddess and I host Movie Nite at Tiki Oasis, our final "road show" before we settle down to my new home base,
Forbidden Island, where I hope to see you once a month, or sometimes, at least.
Aloha, Will

btw in case anyone is wondering about the logistics of this - we have a pull-down movie screen, the films are shown simultaneously on this and the wide-screen HD TV behind the bar, with sound pumped in through our system, so you can see/hear the film wherever you're sitting...
