RSVP on Partiful

Dinner first, film after. We eat, judge the chili cookoff, and talk for a couple of hours, then watch Greyhound (2020, 91 min) after a short briefing on the real convoy battle behind it. Tom Hanks plays a first-time destroyer captain guarding an Atlantic convoy through fifty hours with no air cover, February 1942. 6:00 · Dinner, chili judging, and conversation ~7:45 · Briefing, then Greyhound ~9:30 · Wrap

Who can come

Men and teenage guys: friends, neighbors, family, and their friends. No history background needed, just an appetite. Greyhound is rated PG-13.

Taking part

RSVP on Partiful so we can plan food. Entering a chili? Message Ryan on Partiful. Entries stay secret until judging; rules, prize, quantity, and arrival time for entries will be announced closer to the date. Not cooking? Cornbread and toppings are covered; bring a side to share. The whole evening is outdoors, so bring a jacket. Late October gets cold once the sun is down.
