Lebowski a Success!

[Grimhelm]

Thanks for coming, everyone! I had fun. A little too much fun thanks to my third enormous White Russian. One of the benefits of hosting is that you can get toasted. Maybe we can do it again sometime. Anybody have a movie they really want to watch?

I had a moment to look up some of our points from last night’s viewing.

Treehorn’s house was designed by John Lautner. He studied under Frank Lloyd Wright and then went off to LA and did some neat stuff out there. He also pioneered an ultra-modern Jetsons’-esque style now called Googie, which is exactly like the bowling alley in the movie. The house was built in 1963 and is now known as the Sheats-Goldstein residence.
More info is at http://www.johnlautner.org/Sheats.html
The current owner’s website is http://www.jamesfgoldstein.com/

There is a Ben Hur Auto Repair listed in Los Angeles. The address is 6375 Santa Monica Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90038

That is great! So there really is such an auto shop? Amazing. Well, it is LA, so what can you not expect? Thanks for the info!

I hope, on a side note, that evereyone had a nice time despite my insane giggling, pausing of the movie, and babbling throughout.

I really want to see Idiocracy soon. I have no idea if it is any good or not, but the premise intrigues me and I do enjoy Wilson's films.

I think Idiocracy is on my Netflix list. Maybe we can plan an evening around it....

I hope to make the next one.
