Beginners and Burgers

Join the troops of the Napa Guerilla Gay Bar as we once again head to the Cameo Cinema (1340 Main Street, St. Helena) for a Ewan McGregor film.

This time Ewan is paired with Christopher Plummer and Melanie Laurent in "Beginners". The comedy/drama by Mike Mills tells the story of a young man who is rocked by two announcements from his elderly father: that he has terminal cancer, and that he has a young male lover.

Watch the trailer here:



We'll attend the 5:30 pm showing of the film on Sunday, July 10. You can buy advance tickets via the Cameo Cinema's website at:

Following the film (around 7:15 pm) we'll head down the street to Gott's Roadside Tray Gourmet (933 Main Street, St. Helena) for Bleu Cheese Burgers, Ahi Poke Crispy Taco, Sweet Potato Fries and Gott's amazing wine list!

We'll Go Block by Block!

NORM!

Sorry, it's a different Cheers.  It's Cheers! St. Helena.

It's the once-a-month event that takes over Main Street in downtown St. Helena.  On the first Friday of each month (between May and October) the stores, galleries and restaurants stay open late.  Each storefront hosts a different Napa Valley winery.  There's entertainment throughout the downtown corridor.  People mix and mingle.  It was a HUGE hit in it's inaugural season last year with over 15,000 people attending.  It's a blast!

So, why not join the ground troops from the Napa Guerilla Gay Bar on Friday, May 7 when we invade Cheers! St. Helena during their first event of the 2010 season.  Things get started at 6 p.m. and last until 9.

It's free to attend the event but if you want to sample wine then the cost is $35 . . . but if you donate $100 before April 15 you'll receive a season pass for all 6 events during 2010!  You can make your donation at http://www.cheerssthelena.com/

So, how will you know your fellow troops as you roam?  Dig through your closet and drawers and find something with rainbows or camouflage - extra points for something that is BOTH rainbow and camouflage!  It can be something as simple as a button.  It might even be your wristband from last year's Napa Valley Pride celebration!

A Film and Fun in St. Helena

Join us on Saturday, February 20, 2010 when troops from the Napa Guerilla Gay Bar journey north to the lovely town of St. Helena, California.

Once there we will indulge ourselves as follows:

• First, we'll attend the 2:30 p.m. matinee of "A Single Man" at the Cameo Cinema (1340 Main Street in St. Helena).  Set in Los Angeles in 1962 at the height of the Cuban Missle Crisis, it's the story of George Falconer, a 52-year old British college professor (played by Colin Firth) struggling to find meaning to his life after the death of his long time partner, Jim (Matthew Goode). The film also stars Julianne Moore, was directed by Tom Ford and is based on the novel by Christopher Isherwood.  It's receiving a lot of Oscar buzz.
  
  
• Next, we'll head over to Ana's Cantina (1205 Main Street in St. Helena) for "après ciné" cocktails, music, pool and a discussion of the film.
  
  
• Finally, we'll attempt to agree on a dinner venue or we'll hang out at Ana's until the live music starts.
