We’re hosting a beer and free movie party tonight at McGilvra’s at 8 p.m. They are the bar in our backyard that we all love to stop by for a mid-day pick-me-up.
Come by for a drink and short flick… we hope to see you there!

Madison Park Goes Mad for MadFlix!
Friday, December 4th, 2009
Last night’s MadFlix event was a huge success, thanks to the Madison Park community and Starbucks staff.
We had a packed house and everyone had a good time sampling McGilvra’s delicious cheese pizza and beer, Magito Family of Wines (the Zinfandel was to die for!), Beecher’s Handmade Cheese and La Panzanella Crackers.
The audience was completely attentive during the short film screenings. We showed Anna McRoberts’ “The Wind Fisherman,” Rune Christensen’s “Down The Road” and Anurag Mehta’s “The Trident.”
This was the first (in what we hope will be many) community screening events. It was a great opportunity for the Madison Park community to learn more about IndieFlix and a chance for us to meet some of our filmmakers and other IndieFlix contributors and friends.
By the end of the night, we had to kick people out of Starbucks and usher them to McGilvra’s for an after-party wrap-up. We’re all nursing our hangovers today but think fondly on a night well spent.
GET YOUR WINTER SHORTS ON
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009
Seattle in the winter: what comes to mind? Misty cold, gray skies, layers — not shorts, right? Wrong.
Inspired by last summer’s very successful MadArt event, and to celebrate the launch of our new subscription service, IndieFlix is launching its MadFlix series of free screenings and refreshments at 6pm this Thursday, December 3, 2009. We’ll be showing three short films and serving up wine, beer, and various snacks and hors d’oeuvres at the Madison Park Starbucks, 4000 E. Madison Street in Seattle.
It promises to be quite an evening: we’re going to have a chance to sample a nice little wine called Magito, supplied for the event by Meadowcroft, a California winery. I can personally attest* that this alone is reason to attend. On top of that, Seattle’s Magnolia AV will be installing its fanciest, most unaffordable, top-of-the-line equipment to showcase the films. This might be your best chance to see how the other half watches. And beer and hors d’oeuvres are being supplied by local businesses La Panzanella Bakery, Beecher’s Cheeses, and McGilvra’s Restaurant and Bar.
The entire event is free. No, seriously, free. PLUS we’re giving away some cool stuff — films, subscriptions, various swag. And stick around after: we’re moving the party down the street to McGilvra’s, 4234 E. Madison.
In the spirit of the season we’ll be collecting donations for Northwest Harvest: food, household items, baby supplies, all very much needed this time of the year.
Come and drink with us! Watch — I mean watch, come and watch with us.
