I could not make the Eclectic Screening Room screening last evening. Something came up so I was not able to attend. Now that is a problem as proprietor Greg Woods screens a lot of fun, obscure, sort of obscure, not easy to find, but always interesting films (on video projection). He is also a bit of a showman: During the outstanding 'Beatnik Night at the Movies' -- which was the program back on March 29th and featured such fare as the very obscure Canadian feature film, The Bloody Brood (1959), starring one Peter Falk, along with a grand mix of short segments, including an episode of the old television detective show, Johnny Staccato, staffed by some cat called John Cassavetes -- Greg dressed up in applicable attire... that of one cool cat! Finger snapping was the soundtrack of the night. Greg would start and the audience would join in. It was a lot of fun.You had to be there. Really! And you have to go there. You'll meet some pretty cool customers. Yah!

As always, Mr. Smight, thanks for the plug. I'm not saying this to spite you, but TV Party was one of our best shows ever. Hopefully the audience carries over to Emerald Cities in November, which I'm also excited about being able to show.
And in the new year, I am planning to have some of our programming material actually to be something with sprocket holes. Last night, in a subtle tribute to Glenn O'Brien, I was in a suit, but I kinda like the look. I might keep it going.
