    Too funny! I'm hoping this might be a start of a 'film tour', showing at theaters around the country...and in a town near you.

    Are there any small independent theaters in your area?

    This is going to be a good time.
    Wish it would have been on a Saturday night so us working folk could try to be there. I know it's going to be a good time.

    Maybe this will become a cult phenomenon, and people will start talking along with the actors and acting out parts like Rocky Horror Picture Show. Every one of the 20 or so times I went to that was a good time because of the crowd interactions. I still have my umbrella, deck of cards and some old pieces of toast. True story: one of my buddies who was a competitive body builder would wear his posing trunks under his clothes, at when Rocky starts working out he would jump up, strip to his posing trunk and run around the theater with a two 5 pound dumbells. The funny part is he was only about 5 ft 4.


    You just had to be there.

    and of course....we could all do The Time Wrap Again!




    (* by the way, if you want to punch drum to this using syncopated rhythms, better strap on your flame throwers and use the smallest bag you can find.)

    First time on the BIG screen....can't wait.

    G-Town...JUXT.... you guys HAVE to be there, it's in your backyard. Bring the family & friends and be ready to sign some autographs! DVD's and posters will be for sale at the event.

    ...exciting
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Need to "tweet" this out if you're on twitter, and post invites to any media folks or celebrities you know. also hit up east coast radio for PSA or on-air interviews.

    Need a local to Call Binnie Klein WPKN 89.5 FM in Bridgeport CT If the Binnie Klein show can't mention it or do an interview, maybe another on air show can, they have many.

    ..Binnie is the author of the Book "Blows to the Head" and she got that cover photo from me and my website. I sent her the original 1916 book it appeared in.


    Or give Doug Echols a call. I don't know him but anyone who says..."...It is a story I will share with you over a cup of coffee or a beer someday if your'e interested" has to be an interesting guy and over that coffee or beer I'd tell him about the speed bag and how HE could learn to do it. He looks like a few baggers I know - and might even be Santa Claus moonlighting on a day job.

    Also

    Radio, Rosedale NY


    Somehow, someway, Wish we could have a Balazs UBS-1 in the lobby of the theatre doing a "live demonstration" before the show. In Texas they often have "in theatre lobby demo's" for movies that have sword fighting or some genre that has a local club to do demonstrations. (No shortage of pretend old west gun fight clubs down here)

    Nasty?? I'll tell you nasty G-town, ....nasty was your amazing blazing fist rolling in the film. Absolutely no one on the planet puts on a fist rolling performance like you do. Unreal skills and you just look so good doing it. That million dollar smile is easily worth the price of the movie, and those flip flappin fist movements always get me smiling.

    NASTY!! OH YEA!

    I've shown the film to three different people at three different times, none of them knew the first thing about the speed bag....not only did they all love the film and watch it all, within 48 hours each one of them contacted me to tell me that they had gone out, bought a platform and were starting to hit the bag!

    ....so....yeah, I'd say 'no brainer'.
