As the weather degraded, we discussed holding movie night inside Horvatin Yurt. Incredibly, we could not drum up a Windows laptop with DVD drive. Katrina and Fred could not seem to track down a VGA dongle for the MacBook. So, that eliminated watch a DVD flick. Lora and Phil's selections would not be seen. Too bad so sad.
I fetched my netbook. I had two ripped movies on board: Monsters Inc. and Pitch Black. No one had seen the SF thriller. I gave a little synopsis pitch and it was decided.
We rigged up the Panasonic projector and my USB speakers, beamed the image to a far wall, Trevor tricked out the ceiling light, we squeezed the horde into the Yurt, muddy boots to the side, made sure everyone had a beverage and snacks, waited for Sharmin to return from the loo, and dimmed the lights as the rain pounded the roof...

I was pleased that everyone enjoyed the flick.
We joked about strange noises in the dark. We could have used enhanced night vision like Riddick.
