So whenever I'm not home, there is a 97% chance that the television is on Turner Classic Movies. Jennifer has it on for background noise, as well as for her love of classic movies.
A few months ago she joined the TCM Backlot which gives its members some fan club perks.
Then she looked into creating a local chapter. There needed to be 10 members to get one formed. She did a search, made a webpage (yes, it's one of the many things she does) for the TCM Backlot San Francisco Chapter, and also made a Twitter account.
She even got me to join, because it's no fun to go alone, and you have to be a member to get the free tickets.
And then, we got offered a block of tickets from TCM for the Noir City 16 at the Castro Theatre. The tickets were for two movies ("This Gun for Hire" and "Quiet Please, Murder!") as well as an opportunity to meet Eddie Muller, the host of Noir Alley on TCM.
When we got there, we had a reserved section for our group, and then upstairs were a few tables with things for sale. TCM had one as well, where they were giving away the Noir Alley - Batman comic they had partnered with DC to make with Eddie Muller as a character who teams up to help Batman.
Now, I've got a copy signed by Eddie Muller.
