ETR and SBI are a couple of social media thingies that allow people to interact by posting stuff and reading stuff. Some of the folks who use ETR and SBI started doing watchparties, where they get together on Saturday evenings and watch a movie (often an old western) at the same time. Join us... shows start at 8pm Eastern time, there is often some random stuff playing before the show starts, and participation in chat is not required.
