yes, at this stage of my life, I have become cynical regarding business. (Didn't used to be like this 30 years ago...)


those that have read my posts know that I am also an ol' curmudgeon! (koff, wheeze)


how hard is it to set up a dedicated one movie pay per view site on the internet? I could get behind that, for sure.

That's a pretty cynical way of looking at it, Iceman. These guys made a movie 
about our subculture. They put their money and their time into it. We have an 
opportunity to help them get it shown, and possibly have it be a success beyond 
just our community. 

It's not that hard to click on some buttons online to request a show and tell 
your friends about it. It doesn't even cost you any money if the movie doesn't 
happen, and if it does happen, you get to see it in a movie theater with a bunch 
of friends and it only cost you $10. 

Would I like a DVD to watch whenever? Sure. But you know, that costs money to 
make and distribute too (I know you know this). This is a way, sort of like 
Kickstarter, to help fund something like that. Me, I think it's a great idea. I 
don't feel like I'm doing anyone's work for them and I'm happy to help others, 
especially when it comes to the harmonica community. 

And yes, I'm trying to get a screening here in Ann Arbor. When we have a venue, 
I'll let everyone know.
