YAD Movie Day (Sept 17, 2011)

Last Saturday, T.O. YAD had their first fall gathering with our "Movie Day" event. The movie we watched was Groundhog Day Starring Bill Murray. He plays Phil Connors, an egocentric Pittsburg TV weatherman who is given an assignment to cover the annual Groundhog Day event in a small town called Punxsutawney. He then finds himself repeating the same day over and over again. Below is a small clip from the movie.

 

After the movie, we had a small discussion about the themes in the movie and touched on other various topics. Overall, it was a nice get together and it was a lot of fun. Thanks again to fellow YAD member, Leslie Seto, for letting us use his house, and thanks to his parents for providing us with dinner =D.
