Downtown Dave

Wow, pre-hunt speculation in October! By the way Winger, I have a pretty good photo of you and the burnt jacket taken from the post-dig picanic. Or re-hash bash I guess. My eyes once again are focused on Downtown locations--I've been saying that for four years on this board...someday I gotta be right.

King Boreas aka Ian

VINYL Again: Are you coming here soon?

MedallionHuntDoc: I'll be in town from the 25-29th

MedallionHuntDoc: Hey, by the way, I work in that building in NYC where the anthrax was found

MedallionHuntDoc: I'll be very happy to visit MN

MedallionHuntDoc: I don't know what's up with the McGovern's thing yet -- which night, etc.

MedallionHuntDoc: I'm talking to Jackie now on the phone -- she works in the buidling across from my building, and the Centers for Disease Control are all over her floor now

MedallionHuntDoc: We're coming because Jackie's a finalist in the Minnesota Independent Film Fund, and her finalist interview is on Friday the 26th

MedallionHuntDoc: But Jackie's pregnant and can't travel, so I'm going alone for the interview and she's calling in

MedallionHuntDoc: We showed 21 minutes on "Cold Feet" on October 2nd to industry reps and they loved it

MedallionHuntDoc: We're very happy that she's pregnant but we're bummed that she won't be coming to St. Paul for the hunt in Jan.

MedallionHuntDoc: We were pretty sure we had a decent movie, but now we know that people really respond to the hunt and the characters

MedallionHuntDoc: We're trying to come with 4 cameras this time

MedallionHuntDoc: We're going to cut together last year's hunt as a complete movie, and then if this year's hunt is better, we'll probably cut that together as a film too

MedallionHuntDoc: talk to you later -- and hopefully I'll see you in the Twin Cities

Just checking in to see what's new.

Ares, whats the deal with you in a dress?

General question- will they be showing the medallion movie locally? if so, where and when?

Mon, 10/15/2001 - 12:31 PM Permalink
King Boreas aka Ian

As of now, there is only a 20 minute teaser that was shown to industry types...whether or not that will be coming here with the producer in a couple weeks, I don't know.

that would be scribe, being her usual charming self; i was not wearing a dress in that picture. jt, wanna back me up on this since your wife did a good job tarnishing my reputation?

It wasn't a dress. Looked more like a skirt to me.

I doubt we will see any of the film before they have a final product.......... people get freaked out sometimes when they see themselves on the big screen!!

Mon, 10/15/2001 - 9:23 PM Permalink
Terry

What we were told at the end of the hunt last year is that what was ready would be shown at a screening the Friday night before the first clue - which would be the night before the predig gig at McGovern's. Of course that could change in a year's time.

Tentative- Trent Tooley would like to see all of us at McGoverns sometime Saturday night, October 27th. Everyone please spread the word. If there are any questions, please email me at inge01@aol.com........ time is TBD.

what other dates are we meeting at McGoverns????

Rushmore

Thanks all for the updates, Not to sound too much like a medallion freak, but yesterday I went back and started to read over the beginning of the postings on this board, wow! was it fun to read, Winger nailed that it was in Newell well before anyone else, it was fun to read through and reminisce. Anyway, take care ya'll, I'll check back periodically to see what's happening. I would love to see the medallion movie.

Oh yeah, a random question - Was Derek Davis apart of the film crew?

Wed, 10/17/2001 - 12:15 AM Permalink
jakeinge

NO, DEREK DAVIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FILM CREW OR THE FILM ITSELF!!!!!!!!!!!

Wed, 10/17/2001 - 1:57 AM Permalink
Rushmore

Jake, thanks! As I was going through the past posts it looked like Derek may have been involved in the film. I would have felt bad if everyone was ragging on the guy and he did the film, but since he had nothing to do with it, the ragging was deserved. Thanks!

Wed, 10/17/2001 - 11:10 PM Permalink
jakeinge

Rushmore- Yeah, Derek is one of those people that is involved in the hunt for all of the wrong reasons. If he actually gave a damn about the hunt I don't think anyone would be bothered, but he is trying to commercialize it........... and Derek, if by chance you read this, that is the reason that I for one have problem with your involvement in the hunt. And i apologize but I would like to reinerate that he WAS NOT a part of the film crew and has NOTHING to do with the film in any way!! 97 days to the start of the hunt!!!

Toodles.... Jake
