Kaele and Ben,

Have you gotten any responses to your mailings/press releases?

Just wanted to say thanks to chrismoorhead and bentor78 for the offers of rides. Ninah148 was sweet enough to help me out, so I'm looking forward to seeing everyone Saturday night!

Nope. Not on my end.

We still got one more day, I suppose. Maybe I should re-send them? Just as a reminder.

well, we just had two folks at the theater trying to buy advance tickets for the fri. show... told them sorry, as we only sell advance tickets to members, but they could come tomorrow as of 2... but to please come no matter what as i'll really squeeze everyone in! i can't see us getting more than 700 each night!

and i repeat that to everyone: come on out - i'll get you a seat!

anyway, they were from delaware and i asked, "oh, did you hear about it on the internet?" they said, "No, radio."

i was so shocked i forgot to ask which station... don't *think* she meant the podcast...

so either the letters and emails you fans (like the dedicated kaele) sent worked or our press releases worked, but it seems some radio station somewhere at least mentioned it!

so keep spreading the word, flans... you're doing a great job!

(and p.s. - the film print just arrived - woohoo! i'll be checking it tonight to make sure it's in tip top shape - if not, we'll order another one rushed tomorrow am)

oh - and forgot - kaele - and everyone, since you say you're going to the mall...

if anyone wants to put up posters, just email me at:

bhickernell@brynmawrfilm.org

and i'll reply with a jpeg of the poster we're putting college campuses around here... it's just a letter-size flyer, so you can print it at home on your comp!

I hope to meet many of you at the Shindig on Saturday night, however I have been listening to the weather forcasts and getting a little nervous.

If we can't attend, we plan to stay home and watch the DVD and to send Bryn Mawr Film Institute a donation check for what we would have spent on tickets and popcorn along with a letter thanking them for showing the film.

I encourage others to consider the idea as well.

*cries*

I've been planning on this for over a week! It had better NOT snow! And because it'll be Saturday, there won't be that many plows out. I'll be using mostly highway to get there, but I still need some backroads to go too.

Dear Buddha, may I have a pony and a little plastic rocket and no snow on Saturday...

CRAP!!! They're expecting it to be a Nor'easter!

I'd go tonight to the movie, but I've already made plans! If it does dump some snow, I think I'll do like you said and just write a check and a letter...

I'm still planning to drive from MD on Saturday, but I'm also getting nervous. How dare it snow now after a month+ of 50 degree weather!

They always predict five inches of snow, and then we get one. Maybe this is just another false alarm. *crosses fingers*

hey all:

gorramit! i too have seen these snow reports. let me say this:

as of now, they're predicting 1-2 inches by midnight saturday... that's nothing. it'll snow through the night, so if y'all have long drives home, i guess that's something to consider.

i can tell you we'll salt the hell out of the front walk of the theater and we do have people who plow our parking lot.

ALSO, the theater's on a major route that should be clear.

If you're coming from the east, from Philly, you can take 76 to route 1 to route 30 (directions on our site) and each of those are major routes.

from the west, you're taking 476, a major highway, which lets you of right on route 30 (mjr route), where you drive 5 miles.

i don't want anyone to do anything dangerous, but i did want to let you know that there aren't any treacherous backroads you have to take to get to the theater...

hope y'all can still make it. i've told the theater owners i'll be there no matter what... even if there's a foot of snow, my poor little beetle will get me home after!

snow can't keep the sky from me!
