How exactly do they go about finding these people to interview? my ex boyfriend's mom would probably be perfect for this. she's on felony probation for 75 pounds of marijuana. but it's cuz they dug the plants up and weighed them root and all. She always cracked me up when she'd talk about it. And how out of breath the cops were when they came back in after digging up these 9 9ft plants from her back yard

exactly like this!
what state was this in? they did something simliar to me. there was a vial half full of lsd wash in the car. so first of all it's like....MOSTLY everclear anyway, and second they weighed the whole bottle and said we had 12 grams of lsd. TWELVE GRAMS. I tried to explain to my lawyer how many hits of acid that is once, but he said it basically didn't matter based on how much of the other stuff was in the car.

it was in Texas. I think my ex was charged with under 15 pounds and she got charged with 75
I still have pics of their plants they weren't even really budding yet. So shitty! They totally got booked for around 90 pounds of leaves
12 grams! That's pretty silly. I read the paperwork that they had to fill out when they were both in their NA class and some of it was just a list of a bunch of drugs and what the charges were for it. I didn't even know at that point that they weigh stuff like acid like that. Made me

Meeting with you was really fucking amazing Yes people, she is MORE awesome, gorgeous and cool IRL as she is on here, very funny and great to converse with.
I'm glad I could help you out by making the fliers, don't even sweat it. I'll be sure not only hand them out at school and around school, but also post them up around Manhattan, hand them out at Union Square, and do whatever further grassroots promoting I can do.

There's also an underground cinema in Miami that they just screened like 10 sold out showings of Square Grouper...not sure on how it all works, but I'd be willing to talk to them if you'd like...

As much as I wanted to make the NYC screening the finances aren't there to make the trip. I did however talk a couple of my NYC friends into going in my absence.
How would one go about talking to local theaters about getting a local screening? Here in Columbus there are several small indy theaters around as well as a major campus theater that does at least 1-2 indy movie screenings a month.

I have abstained from watching the movie online because I will be going to see it live tomorrow at the Chicago Premiere. I'm excited to see it. Having read Charles' book by the same name, I am looking forward to seeing how he translates his writing style to the screen.
This is an important subject done, as far as I can tell, in a completely sincere and grassroots way. I'm hoping that Chicago shows everyone how much we love the work that the people involved with Exile Nation are doing by showing up and filling those seats.
Unless I'm mistaken, I think I'm the only one going from the shroomery. At least, the only one that has openly admitted to going to it in this thread.
I won't have internet access until later in the week, Thursday or Friday, but when I get back I will write a review of the movie.
