What is a typical Sons meeting like?
There is no such thing as a “typical Sons meeting,” since there is so much diversity among the membership. Some tents hold their meetings in local restaurants, where dinner is included with the film program. Some folks meet in a tavern and enjoy the movies on big-screen video. At least one tent devotes its activities exclusively to the movies, and sets up projectors in a meeting hall for a “theatrical” atmosphere. A few tents have held gatherings at local colleges, and some tents bring the joy of Laurel & Hardy to children’s hospitals and nursing homes. And other “tent” meetings are informal get-togethers in private homes, where friends pass around the popcorn (or pizza) and watch Laurel & Hardy movies taped from TV. Whatever the format, the meetings are focused on the Laurel & Hardy films.
