If...No problem, Sherri.<BR/><BR/>Are you on the e-mail list? If so, we send e-mails one to two times per month, updating folks about upcoming films and nominees for next month's films. <BR/><BR/>Additionally, this blog is a great place to get the information you're seeking. We always post the next film here as well as any other pertinent information regarding future (or past) screenings.<BR/><BR/>If you're not on the e-mail list but would like to be, send me an e-mail at justtwoguys [AT] hotmail [DOT] com.<BR/><BR/>The Illinois Times Calendar posting includes the blog address to this site so folks don't have to make a phone call each month. <BR/><BR/>I'll look into getting the film title published each month in the Illinois Times, although we have had issues with the paper in the past.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16785651609221801391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385930718883764705.post-37963315303393276402009-02-26T12:52:00.000-06:002009-02-26T12:52:00.000-06:00One thing would be to let us know what you are pla...One thing would be to let us know what you are playing. The only paper I read is Illinois Times. It tells when/where but not what.<BR/>I'd rather not make a phone call each week to find out what you are showing.<BR/>ThanksSherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16051348254269383446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385930718883764705.post-44896693808773533352009-02-25T14:31:00.000-06:002009-02-25T14:31:00.000-06:00Thanks Will.

We have about the same number on our list as you have. <BR/><BR/>One problem with our e-mail list is that we acquired tons of e-mails from folks who came to the popular Spinal Tap and Blazing Saddles events. <BR/><BR/>But we steered out of those waters as we didn't want to continue showing popular or mainstream cult classics. Unfortunately, I think a lot of those folks only want to come out when they can see a movie they already admire. Not a lot of exploring going on, I reckon. <BR/><BR/>We could certainly try partnering with local clubs when appropriate, but that can get tricky, too. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the suggestions, Will. I appreciate the thoughts. And, I'll try to get a flier to you this month for our upcoming movie.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16785651609221801391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385930718883764705.post-28978305362822695992009-02-25T12:11:00.000-06:002009-02-25T12:11:00.000-06:00You show a lot of movies I'd like to see but I...You show a lot of movies I'd like to see but I'm usually at the monthly Sierra Club meeting that night. We had a low turnout too. I think it was a tough night to get people out between Obama and mardi gras.<BR/><BR/>Do you have an email list? That's how most of the liberty brew & view crowd keeps track of what I show. It helps build a steady return audience. I've got over 120 people on my list after two years of having sign up sheets.<BR/><BR/>I get the biggest crowds when I partner with other organizations. That's easier for me since I do issue oriented movies, but is there a film club at UIS you could team up with? Or, if you did a movie like Breaking Away you could make sure the Bike Club knows about it.<BR/><BR/>Those are my suggestions, for what it's worth. You're always welcome to leave a flier or send me a reminder to announce your movie at liberty brew & view the week before. I have people ask about the movie geeks club sometimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
