That was performed at the "Colorado Cinemas L.L.C. Chinese 16 at Apapahoe Crossings" theater in December. There are pictures of the booth in the picture warehouse.

By the way, it seems the large file size of the big download was clogging up the servers and slowing things down pretty bad due to the amount of downloads being issued. I have added a third server today to help lighten the load.

Burning question...

Was "Film-Guard" used at any stage of the, um, tour?

That was hilarious! I showed a copy of it to a friend, and he couldn't believe it either. Has to be a record!

LOL! How did I know you were going to do that?

Now you have to hope that none of the distributors get any funny ideas...

Well, well, well. That was quite a feat.

I've tried 3 on Vic 4s and 8s but you guys sure outdid that.

One more thing comes to my mind when I watch the video. You guys have way too much free time on your hands. Well done, guys.

Since I live where on a good day I get about 26.4k out of my phone lines. I guess I'll never get to see the mystery video. The download time on that video would be decades!
Hey I'm bein discriminated against.

Well you could always fly out to Denver with Scott Norwood to see it. If you make the trip we will gladly play the Quicktime file for you, and even let you copy it. If you're really nice and treat everybody to dinner we'll let you watch it on videotape instead of Quicktime

Actually you might want to try and download it at night while you sleep. That should be more than enough time. It'll be worth it.

Greg -- I bet you can get someone here to burn it to CD for you. I don't have a CD burner, but I can send it to you on 4mm tape, if that helps.
