We launch for tour in T-4 days. Crazy!!! (Well, that is assuming we get at least 70 screenings booked by Thursday). This weekend has been crazy busy, but fun :) On Friday, we went to an Asian-American "Rock the Vote" event at the Ford Theater... and got to meet Lisa Ling and her husband, while supporting voting! It was put on by one of LiNK's donors, so we got to meet her as well. On Saturday, we went up to Simi Valley for a screening of "Inside North Korea" at a church, kind of as an end to the summer tour. It was nice to get to see a screening in action, espeically since the executive leadership team were the ones who did the actual presentation-- so we just had to observe. Since we were up in that area, I was able to spend some time in T.O. for the last time before heading off on the road. Fun times!
Today, we went to another donor's house for what was supposed to be the premier of "Hiding." Unfortunately........ it's not done yet :( So our host showed us a documentary that she made & is releasing shortly, called "Macho Like Me," about her experiment to transform herself into a man, and experience the world from the Men's perspective for 6 whole months. It was a great film & some interesting insight into the opposite sex (and it was quite amusing, too). We viewed it at her house... which actually has a built in movie theater. By far it is the nicest house I have ever been to. Daaaang.
When we got back from that, we washed & waxed & cleaned out the 2 vans that are not in the shop, so as to get them ready to go out on the road! Now they are all shiny & pretty (just need to be vacuumed). Too bad 2 of the vans are still in the shop, including the one that (we assume) the West team will be driving around the country!
This week will be full & busy of more booking, and one last mock screening. Tomorrow night is our pass/fail mock, so hopefully that will go well! :)
