I live in vegas, and I work all of those days, and I work graveyard at 10pm

 

[Mike Conway]

Evan, that's a bummer. You are working days...and graveyard? Hopefully, something opens up in your schedule. If not, we will probably be doing this next year. (This is our 6th year.)

Thanks for responding to this thread.

This will be the weekend! We are expecting a huge turn out, both locally and out of state. One filmmaker is bringing 40 people for the ONE LONG DAY premiere. Another is bringing 20 for THE BACK ROOM. That's in addition to existing crowd coming to see Fewdio, BIO-SLIME, etc.

Some interesting guests, like David Schneider, who wrote/directed STARK RAVING MAD (with Seann William Scott and Lou Diamond Phillips). Paul Hungerford, who also workd on that movie. Jeff Palmer of ON THE FRINGE, Lionsgate editor, Garo Setian and many more.

If anyone from dvxuser comes, let me know.
