Registration for the Maltese Falcon Literary Cuisine - scheduled for March 20, from Noon-1, in the Regents Dining Room - is now open. You can register at the Bon Appetit dining services web site (http://www.cafebonappetit.com/pacific/) and then click on the “Literary Cuisine” tab.

The cost will be $10.00.

Payment is through PacificCash - if you don’t already have some money on your account, it is easy to add some at the PacificCard web site.

In addition, there will be two free showings of the movie of The Maltese Falcon; one is the 1931 version; the other, the more famous and well-known 1941 version. These are both FREE!

• March 30, 2008, 2:00pm - Pacific Theatre: A showing of the FIRST movie version The Maltese Falcon. Made in 1931, it suffers in comparison to the 1941 version, but it is still interesting in its own right. http://imdb.com/title/tt0022111/
• April 27, 2008, 2:00pm - Pacific Theatre: A showing of the classic 1941 version of The Maltese Falcon. http://imdb.com/title/tt0033870/

Hope to see you on the 20th for what should be a very fun event!
