This is the story of Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel (Audrey Tautou, Amélie), who begins her life as a headstrong orphan, and through an extraordinary journey becomes the legendary couturier who embodied the modern woman and became a timeless symbol of success, freedom and style. Link to the Official "Coco" website.
Hey, it's the Chanel No. 5 girl playing Chanel! What more could you want?
NOTE: This is opening night on the Peninsula , so you're advised to get your tickets early.
To complete the experience, we can meet prior to the show at Bistro Maxine, for crepes and soupe d'oignon! Bistro Maxine is located at: 548 Ramona Street, Palo Alto, (Phone: [masked]) between University and Hamilton. Maxine is a TINY place, so if you're planning on eating, please note that in your RSVP, and reply early, so I can get a headcount. Depending on the number of RSVPs, we might need to eat elsewhere... I will plan on being at Bistro Maxine at 7:45, so you can look for me there. We'll leave for the theater around 9:00.
DINNER IS CLOSED. Thank you all for RSVPing! We now have 16 for dinner, and that's going to stretch Maxine to the limit, so I'm going to close the dinner reservations, as of now (Th, 9:15AM). Thank you so much for your interest, and we'll see you at the movie!
Important: Oh, and BRING CASH to cover your part of the tab.
We'll go to the 9:30 show. Since so many of you have RSVP'd (thank you!), we'll meet in front of the theater starting around 9 PM, so there's some time to meet and greet. Look for the FUCHSIA Meetup sign!
Keep an eye on this page for updated info... 
For those of you who can't make it tonight, our friend Yuliana has offered to host a Meetup for Coco, this Sunday evening. Reply to her at her post on the Message Board: http://www.meetup.com/bayareamovieclub/messages/boards/th...![]()

My plans are getting scrambled but I'd like to come. I missed the Bistro Maxine thing, but dinner would be good. I'd be appearing around 8. If a plan emerges to go somewhere besides Coupa Cafe to eat, it would be great if you'd please note it here or write me. Otherwise... I'll wing it.
Scrambled plans are apparently the order of the day! Fun to be flexible though... I'm in for the movie, and will start out at Coupa Cafe for drinks around 6:30 and then figure out dinner from there.
Bonjour, Mes Amis! Gary M. will be hanging out at Coupa Cafe starting at 6:00 PM until I go to dinner at Bistro Maxine at 7:45. Please join me so that I don't wind up drinking alone (coffee, that is.). Also, if you missed out on the Bistro dinner, you could eat at Coupa Cafe or make plans to eat somewhere else in PA. Details: 538 Ramona St., Palo Alto, CA 94301, (650) 322-6872, www dot coupacafe dot com. I'll be wearing a Meetup themed name tag.
