Alas, I’ll be back in the USA by then. I’m currently on holiday in the UK for three weeks and at the moment am typing this on my laptop in the Caledonian Hotel of Hallam Foe fame in Edinburgh. Sounds like a great idea, though!

What happened to the Geek Dinner website? It hasn’t been updated in a while, or has it? Trying to organize a Geek Dinner Louisville — maybe we should have it co-incide with the Kentucky Derby. Geek Derby Dinner.

I went to a couple of screenings in the past for stuff I never saw on general release.… and then got off the invite list — must have been something I didn’t say. Let me know if you want to do a Cambridge showing…

Would the audience your typical film goer? If so then you’ve just disintermediated Hollywood media. I like that idea — a lot.

That sounds cool. It’d be much more interesting from the writing perspective to get a feel for the work in progress and how the film is pinning together.
And the Stormhoek wouldn’t hurt either.

Sounds like a great idea. A SOAP style approach would not work for a film like Hallam Foe (from what I know). But this seems much more adventurous. Its similar to the early screenings for the big critics that used to happen in the 1950s — but more democratic / bloggy.
I’ve been trying out similar ideas for my new film. An event like this would benefit me. So its that same basic idea you talk about often Hugh — we both need to get something out if it!

And what a way to start the conversation! — get all the bloggers pissed on Stormhoek wine..To really leverage on the sponsorship bloggers should have to post just before they leave the dinner.

New Vs. tried (and used-to-be) true… Wow! I’ll check out the Hallam Foe Blog over the next few weeks for those added bits of flavor (vclips, background stories et al). As they say in the movie biz, “Break a Leg”.

A suit free zone? Sounds promising.
