Let’s meet-up for another movie night at The Queen Vic. This time we’re going more mainstream with the 2005 theatrical release of The World’s Fastest Indian.
It hasn’t made it onto US movie screens yet, but “TT3D: Closer to the Edge” has blown away European audiences with its 2011 release. We’ll have it on the big screen – albeit not in 3D – in a rare US showing of this amazing documentary. See you at the Vic…

We sent Dave Clissold to scout out the location for tomorrow night. The folks at Franklin’s are waiting for us – and have the upstairs loft ready. Just ask for the DC Triumph party. The parking lot next door is metered parking until 8pm, so you might need 50 cents to get you from 7pm to 8pm.
See you tomorrow night…
