Stacey will probably be along soon to give the official update on tonight's Faith and Film, but I thought I'd give the sneak preview.
Attendees: Gad, Gaius, Lauren, Adam, Stacey, da Boyz, and the Cat. And me.
Crash: a good movie that nevertheless didn't really deserve Best Picture. Rather depressing (a F&F first! ... or not ;) ), but also kind of thought-provoking. Less thought-provoking if Gad has been doing the thinking out loud for you all through the movie, but still thought-provoking. :P Still, probably not for the faint of heart, small children, or three-toed sloths.
Brownies: definitely better gooey than cakey, even though our parents seem to prefer the cakey kind. Stacey's are excellent, and the ones with nuts had the perfect gooeyness.
Lessons learned: Don't wear socks in the house. Always ask for the red box when you're looking for ammunition. When buying a white van, check for illegal immigrants in the back. If you're picking up a hitchhiker, turn off your radio first. Racism is complex, and mixed up with class-ism and misplaced trust. And no matter how many f-bombs get dropped, grammatical errors are the things that Lauren gets offended at.
G'night, kids. And get that door fixed.

darn straight!
Great synopsis, Becky! - of the evening and the movie.
I would've written in sooner, but I was up all night with two sick boys, and then had them in my lap most of the days. Poor little fellas.
I'll post pics from last night tomorrow.
p.s. to Gad - in the commentary, the director points out that the daughter did know the bullets were blanks ;)
