More Michigan, Pre-Order Countdown, and QC Checks...

So much to talk about this week, let's break it down... 

1. LUCKY MICHIGAN
I'm taking THE LAKE EFFECT back to Michigan!  
Anyone can make a 
map of Michigan on the fly.
THE LAKE EFFECT is playing in Bay City at the Hell's Half Mile Film Festival September 29th-October 2nd!   So, for all you Michiganders that missed it the first time around... come out and say hi!  
Where is Bay City, you ask?  It's in that little armpit of your thumb.  Near Ann Arbor!    ***I stand corrected - Near Saginaw!! - thanks Laura!****


I'm very excited to go to this festival because a good friend of mine Shaun O'Banion will be there with his movie GIRLFRIEND which I've been dying to see and also I get to hang out with ROSS PARTRIDGE all weekend!  His movie THE OFF HOURS will be screening as well (which I also can't wait to see) It will be a Ross Partridge retrospective! 


2. MARK YOUR CALENDERS! 
Prepare to be harassed from now until Christmas (or Hanukah or Kwanzaa or Winter Solstice)! It's T-MINUS 8 Days until you can pre-order THE LAKE EFFECT on September 21st!   And T-MINUS a bunch more days until you can have it in your hot little hands on our street date -- October 18th! 
Woot woot!!!! 
Next week, I'll post links to all the sites where you can buy the movie...
  
3. DONE AND DONER. 
I found some closure yesterday as Jennifer and I plopped down in front of the tele for a QC (quality check) of the DVD.   It was nice that the DVD came in this envelope from our distributor... 
TLE, front and center. 


We loaded up the movie and enjoyed a couple of trailers and checked out the main menu and the Additional Features --  Behind the Scenes, Raindance Q n A, Audio Commentary, Deleted Scenes, Bloopers - this DVD is chock full of extras, people!  Save it!  Queue it!  Pre-order it!  Buy it!  Tell your friends! Thank you! 

Super cool.

  1. FYI... Bay City isn't really very close to Ann Arbor. Bay City is a few miles north of Saginaw which is near the armpit of the thumb. I love that description!!
    Can't wait to get the DVD!!!
