First, there was Swamp Dinner, popular with the Gastronauts of this world. Last month was our hugely popular Forest Dinner. For February, we go acquatic.

The Films
In honor of the creatures of the sea, we will show four films simultaneously with a live DJ. Of course, we couldn't resist Jaws. And then, we have the films of our favorite French naturalist/surrealist, Jean Painleve. The equally French, underwater adventures of Jacques-Yves Cousteau. And lastly, the hypnotic wonder of Planet Earth and its Ocean Deep episode. A DJ will mix a live acquatic soundtrack combined with audio from the films.
