Are you there God? It's me, Moviehouse.

This Sunday, Moviehouse presents "What's Not There" (Doors 7 p, Films 8 p, 195 Morgan Avenue, Bklyn, NY, FREE).

Spend your evening with us, exploring what's real & what's only in your imagination with two films: Alexander Maxwell presents a modern day take on an old-school duel and David Mason presents a spooky look at a simple conversation.

Plus, enjoy tasty snacks and strong drinks to the smooth beats of DJ Clay Franklin.

Free MacBook for Y'all 

Through April 30, our Unlimited Membership comes with a FREE MacBook. Cool, right?

 

But, what if you're all like "Oh, I have a computer." You know what you don't have?

 - 100s of Free Classes

 - A wood & metal shop in your house

 - FOUR photo studios at your fingertips

 - Hotties greeting you each morning & saying farewell every evening

 - Free Bike (if you have one, give it to a friend. Then race each other.)

 - all the free coffee you can drink from your reusable mug. Seriously. Think of what you can avoid by not going to a coffee shop: 1) small talk, 2) the run-ins with old flames while with a newer & maybe less hot hook-up, 3) the option to buy a pastry because you know you can't say no & $5 is a lot for a muffin.

 

The Free MacBook is pretty sweet- but the Unlimited Membership? Worth your weight in gold (and you've been eating a LOT of those $5 muffins).  More Info HERE.

Featured Class: Intro to Dreamweaver

 

Hey Commercial Photographer!  We love your professional photos on Flickr - but we could have lived without the personal ones from you last beach trip mixed in (Where do you find a stripper that looks like that?!).

 

Hey Metal Worker! We need some sculptural metal legs made for a table - We love the photos of your work on on your blogspot.com blog - but what was with the Dear Diary entry on December 31, 2008? Did you really call your ex-boyfriend that in front of a room full of people? Harsh.

 

Make a website for your work that is JUST for your work: Intro to Dreamweaver (register by March 1!).

 

PLUS: Instructor David Karlins is a badass - learn more about him at his personal site here.

Remember back to November. We teamed up with SCORE! to host their Free Pop-Up Swap (and partners Bust, Flavorpill, Yelp & MeanRed). I personally got a trike, a cookbook & a cardigan that I am still enjoying.

Check out one of our fave bloggers who scored as well!

Welcoming Will's Chair!

Star member Chris Jones was just featured on Mixonline.com

... For sound designers like Chris Jones (www.circa70.org), there's a whole different reason to set mics up outside: It's not to purely document sonic experiences, but rather to subtly incorporate them into the ambiences he makes.
