Woo hoo!!

I'll mark that date on my calendar and try to get some other folks to come out that night. Thanks - that is really nice of y'all to put something like that on. It would be great if it could be continued on some basis. I know someone I will encourage to post his movies, or let me show them, and although old skool, maybe a slide show with a live commentator who "was there" for an intermission at future ones.

Thanks again for stepping up and sponsoring this.

By golly, that might be worth driving over for from Tulsa. Thanks for making this happen.

Farrell's has $1 PBRs. Might want to go ahead and take Thursday the 17th as a "sick day".

All happening at Farrell's Lounge, Bar and Grill on Dickson Street. This is a great opportunity to see these great films on a 167" projection screen tv and have access to 12 HD tvs to view also. Wildwater is in Blue Ray.

If you can't make the March 16th in Northwest Arkansas and happen to be in Central Arkansas, there will be a showing on March 18th at Ouachita Outdoor Outfitters (more info) http://forums.arkansascanoeclub.com/vie ... er#p114667" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; If I were closer I would like to see the falconry exhibition, too.
