🎬 🎸 Stop Making Sense (40th Anniversary Restoration)

🎬 🎸 **Stop Making Sense (40th Anniversary Restoration)** • "In its own terms Stop Making Sense is close to perfection." —Pauline Kael, The New Yorker • "The overwhelming impression throughout Stop Making Sense is of enormous energy, of life being lived at a joyous high." —Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times • "Renowned filmmaker Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia) captures the band at their exhilarating best in this new and complete restoration for the film's 40th anniversary." —Seattle International Film Festival ▪︎ **Purchase your ticket Here:** https://ticketing.uswest.veezi.com/purchase/19554?siteToken=d2atbcege5knqsavntt91g1250 ▪︎ **Message me after you've bought a ticket** and I'll move you off the waitlist. **▪︎ WATCH HERE:** 40th Anniversary Re-Release Trailer (2023) - YouTube https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-rjMwSTeVeo&t=6s&pp=2AEGkAIB 🔆 Stop Making Sense, newly restored (in 2023) in stunning 4K for its 40th anniversary, is widely hailed as one of the greatest concert films ever made. Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Jonathan Demme, the film captures the Talking Heads at their electrifying peak, filmed over three unforgettable nights at Hollywood's Pantages Theater in December 1983. Fronted by David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, and Jerry Harrison, the band is joined onstage by Bernie Worrell, Alex Weir, Steve Scales, Lynn Mabry, and Edna Holt for a performance that builds from a stripped-down solo into a full, joyous ensemble. This restoration brings new life and clarity to a landmark moment in music film history — as vital and thrilling today as it was when it premiered. 🍒 The historic 4 Star Theater is a beloved, independently run neighborhood cinema in San Francisco's Richmond District that blends vintage 1913 architectural details and charm with indie films and live music events. ▪︎ **Meet at 6:15 sharp** at the 4 Star Theater (2200 Clement) ▪︎ **PLEASE don't be a no-show.** If your plans change, remember to update your RSVP prior to the event. ▪︎ **A last-minute cancellation** will count as a no-show.

DC415

This group was created to bring together people who share a passion for cybersecurity and a curiosity about how things work. The goal is simple — to connect with other humans who enjoy meaningful, inspiring, and sometimes unexpected security conversations more than just once a year. Many of us have returned from security conferences feeling both inspired and overwhelmed — full of new ideas and projects to explore, only to have life pull us in other directions. Maybe a demanding client, a new sprint, or even a new baby shifted priorities away from that funny blinky badge project sitting on a shelf. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. This meetup offers a space for like-minded individuals to gather once a month, share what’s captured their attention, discuss recent exploits or discoveries, and showcase projects born from curiosity or necessity. Whether it’s a half-finished experiment, a new idea sparked by a problem, or something ready for collaboration, this is a place to share and grow together. Most of all, this group encourages rediscovering that spark of curiosity — dusting off those badges, boards, and brainstorms — and diving once again into the spirit of exploration that brought us all here.
