Just a reminder to help out our friends at 5-Point Film Festival: The event will be held in Carbondale, Colorado (WildSnow HQ city) from April 26 through 29. This is a film festival that attempts, and usually succeeds, in passing beyond adventure porn flicks into the realm of the spirit. Lots of movers and shakers attend. So much more than just watching films that make you tired. Recommended.

More info at 5 (Five) Point website, and here in newspaper article.

    Thanks Tim, you caught that just a few minutes after I posted, and a few seconds before I fixed! I guess I was in a pre jetlag state of mind or something (grin), am now totally jetlagged so things should go better.

Got something to say? Please do so.
