Testing the waters here among fellow Sci-Fi and Whiskey fans.
Would there be any interest in having a national Sci-Fi & Whiskey watch party?
I am thinking specifically of the MST3K episode where they watch one of our national films: Manos and the Hands of Fate.
This would be doubly patriotic as MST3K is considered our national programme.

I would be interested. (I don't know if anyone was aware, but a sequel to Manos came out recently. "Manos Returns". Stars the lady who played Debbie in the original. I started watching it, but never got around to finishing it.) (I think it's free to watch on Tubi.)
(Before he went to prison, Iusti Canun had roped me into a project...he wanted to create a version of Manos with Talossan subtitles. I have Manos on DVD, so he enlisted my aid in trying to help him figure out what some of the more garbled dialogue was. I wonder if anybody would want to take up this project?) (If so, count me out. I can't sit thru the non-MST3K version anymore!)
I might be interested but it would be difficult for me to plan for it as it is against company policy for me to have alcoholic beverages in my truck and I now only get home once every 3-4 weeks

Non-alcoholic beverages would be welcome too. The main draw is the fun of seeing fellow Talossans and enjoying a bit of patriotic cinema. So far we have three potential participants. Any others?
I've actually never seen Manos, and I probably should. Count me in. We should advertise this possible event on our social media -- folks almost never see opportunities for upcoming things like this, unless they happen to catch the thread.
I've seen the MST3K version once a long time ago.
I wish I could but between work, kids, and school, my schedule is pretty hectic right now.

This is a perfect candidate to leverage our new Cultural Promotion Policy!
I might be able to join the fun.
OK, it looks like we might have a nice group for a watch party.
I am thinking sometime next month. Any particular days that are absolutely out for anyone?
Set up a Doodlepoll maybe?
Ok, folks here is the Doodle Poll (https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/dJNDGjyd) for dates. I tried to create a time which was as friendly as possible for global participation so it might be Sci-Fi & Coffee for some of us.

@Bråneu Excelsio I immediately thought of you when I was writing that. ;D
