Melissa and The Elusive Fes during our November XanaCineHoliday

Last November, we had a trial run of a new thing called XanaCineHoliday: Windy would camp out in a theater in Texas, and Melissa would camp out in a theater in Minneapolis, and we’d both watch movies all day. It was a ton of fun, so now we’re doing the first official XanaCineHoliday! (Or maybe we’ll just call it XanaCineHoliday #2. We’re not sure yet.)

If you would like to participate, watch a movie — or several — on Saturday, February 20th. It doesn’t matter if you watch the movie in a theater or off a DVD, just watch a movie! When you’re done, tell us what you watched! You can comment here on the web site, you can comment on our Facebook page, or you can tweet at us. We’ll be posting with the #xanacineholiday hashtag.

Alternately, if you’re in the Minneapolis area and have nothing better to do on the 20th, here’s Melissa’s tentative schedule. Feel free to show up and say hi!

Noon: Deadpool (Willow Creek)
2:50 PM: Hail, Caesar! (Willow Creek)
4:45 PM: Room (Willow Creek)
7:05 PM: The Big Short (Willow Creek)
9:50 PM: The Witch (Willow Creek)
Midnight: Ex Machina (The Uptown) (maybe)

Hey, everyone! Windy and Melissa are trying something new today: XANACINEHOLIDAY! Windy will be in a theater watching movies all day in Texas, and Melissa will be doing the same in Minneapolis. We will, of course, podcast about it later, but if you would like to follow our misadventures, keep an eye on our Twitter and Facebook accounts by looking out for the #xanacineholiday hashtag.

Alternately, if you’re in the Minneapolis area and have nothing better to do today, here’s Melissa’s schedule. Feel free to show up and say hi!

10:45 AM: The Martian (Arbor Lakes AMC)
2:00 PM: Trumbo (Willow Creek)
4:15 PM: Creed (Willow Creek)
7:10 PM: Bridge of Spies (Willow Creek)

If this works out, we’ll do a full-out event on February 20th, 2016. Mark your calendars!
