As comfy as your living room, with higher ceilings

San Jose Woman's Club Landmark ballroom

This weekend San Jose will get what might be the most unique movie-watching experience I've heard of: the "inaugural" Bean Bag Film Fest, hosted by the San Jose Woman's Club. You can enjoy a double feature of cult films each night for three nights, seated in a comfy bean bag chair (first-come first-served), while sipping a pleasant adult beverage, in a beautiful art deco ballroom. There's also food provided by a different food truck each night. Thursday is Shaun of the Dead and Zombieland with Tikka Bytes food truck. Friday is Harold and Maude and Rushmore with Tac Gos food truck. Libations on Thursday and Friday include beer and wine selections. Saturday is a special 21+ event with Swingers and The Big Lebowski with BBQ Kalbi and cocktail selections including White Russians (natch!). For more info, check it on the SJ Woman's Club website
