BBFF

So glad there's been so much support for our little festival that could! The BBFF silent auction items are now coming in fast and furious. Thanks to all who have supported us thus far and those who are already buying their tickets for next month. We're starting to narrow down the submissions and should have a lineup by October 8th or so. I think this could very well be our best festival so far!

Speaking of riding, our very own ciclista, Lauren Hefferon, is planning on submitting a film this year, of her cycling adventures with her family in Copenhagen. She's also having shoulder surgery for a torn rotator cuff, so we'll see if she can work it into her rehab schedule.

I'm sitting on the Cape, sans bike :(, and wondering why the hell I left it at home! Today would have been a great day for a ride - crisp and sunny and since people are expecting a storm, many stayed home! Oh well, more time to walk the dog. Speaking of which, I saw a pair of really big coyotes while walking her around the cranberry bog in Yarmouthport. Watch out cat owners, little dog owners and others. They're really not that wary of people...

Save the Date!

The silent auction items are coming in fast and furious. We now have tickets for the Wheelock Family Theatre up for bidding, a spa treatment at Pour Le Corps (courtesy of the fabulous Gwen Buedel), Boloco gift card, and so much more. We're very close to finalizing our film roster which should be up on the website soon. Still waiting on a couple of last minute (and yes, late) submissions, but snail mail is not perfect. So tell your friends, tell your family, tell your coworkers. It's a great event - October 23-24, 2009 at 7 p.m. at the Brattle Theatre. Also, starting at noon on the 24th, we're having a movie site tour that will start in the North End and end at the Brattle in plenty of time for the festival. We will have stops of movie sites such as 21, Good Will Hunting, The Departed, and the currently filming Wichita project with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, and The Town with Ben Affleck, Jon Hamm and Blake Lively. All BBFF ticketholders ride free. It's about 10-12 miles total and very flat. Pray for good weather!
