    LATE Show Report from 4/18/09, RPS #16

    So the third season of Renegade Picture show has begun – this time with a “Dumb” (if not Dumber) movie. We had a GREAT turnout for the show and everyone had a great time. The weather was perfect – a great way to start the season.

    Sometimes I feel a little bad about turning down the music and starting the show because it interrupts the social atmosphere – everyone is moving about, chatting it up and just enjoying hanging out together. But once the pre-show footage gets going everyone seems to remember – ah, yes we are here for this – and they get comfortable and start to watch.

    Aside from a couple of technical glitches (i.e. losing power halfway through the show and having my laptop DVD player freeze-up at the VERY end of the film – that killed me by the way) everything went pretty well. I’ve realized I’m sort of a perfectionist when it comes to syncing everything together and making it appear seamless. I guess I have an expectation for that performance aspect of the show – a part which maybe you don’t see but I feel it is there because I’m trying to make the experience look and feel a certain way. I think therein lies the “art” part of the show. I was about to go off on a tangent here but I’ll save that discussion for a separate post.

    For the time being we’ll just leave the show report at that. Next show will be soon – I know we’re running out of days in May and my intention was to do at least one show this month but we’ve had an incredible amount of rain – that in combination with my absurdly busy schedule. Rest assured, we will have a show or two in June.

    By the way, who else here is a David Lynch fan?

  • Renegade Picture Show – Friday, April 24

    The third season of Renegade Picture Show begins this Friday, April 24 at our favorite movie watching venue.

    For exclusive movie watching details and the viewing location you must register for “THE LIST.”

    We have lots of great movies planned for this year. This first one is a personal favorite – a comedy that can best be explained as “dumb.”

    For those new to the show here’s how it works:
    You show up. Bring stuff to eat, stuff to drink. Something to sit on (or in); a chair, a blanket, in your car. We’ll roll some interesting clips and stuff we’ve put together and collected from various places. Then we’ll play the feature.

    All this starts at dark – which is pretty much 9 pm.

    This show is free but we happily and graciously accept donations.

    Hope to see you all there for this first show.
