Schedule
Bonus show 6:30 p.m.: Arrive at 6:30 p.m. to see a reality TV show (less than 30 minutes) starring Sacred Band captain Richard Dalton and his husband Luis Grisales. The show follows them as they plan their commitment ceremony on the TV series “Whose Wedding is it Anyway?” which appeared on Slice in 2008.
Movie 7 p.m.: In and Out, starring Kevin Kline and Joan Cusack.
The 1997 comedy In and Out begins with a shocker: Cameron Drake (Matt Dillon) wins an Oscar for playing a gay soldier in a movie. At the Oscars, he thanks his high school drama teacher, Howard Brackett (Kevin Kline), and says to millions of TV viewers, “And he’s gay.” The news comes as a surprise to Brackett’s students, principal, parents – and his fiancee (Joan Cusack) and Brackett himself. Angry, Brackett insists he is straight. That’s just the first few minutes of a movie that hilariously explores sexuality and masculinity.
Bring snacks to share.
Arrive 7 p.m. for In and Out movie.
Hang out and chill the movie.
Cost: Free

A community for conscious men whose teachings are based on the Code of the Conscious Warrior, which consists of 14 pointers designed to offer a framework of overarching guidance for modern men.
What does the Samurai Brotherhood do?
We explore what it means to be a conscious, self-aware man in today’s world. We aim to help men to access and embody their masculine essence in a balanced way and support them in becoming stronger and more confident, focused, balanced and grounded. We help men to align with their life purpose and be a more effective presence in the world, to live at their edge, overcome limiting patterns from the past, and find peace both inwardly and outwardly.
