El Santo movies are fun! I'm glad a batch of them are being shown here in Sacramento!

And just for the record, Movies on a Big Screen is helping out with this as well! We'll be there running the movies and stuff. OK - pretty much, running the movies - so if things go awry, you know who to blame. So you probably oughtta go!

Thanks for the cool write-up! Overdrawn was shown as part of the Movies on a Big Screen series, and the website is at http://www.moviesonabigscreen.com One of the spots we screen at is The Guild. And yeah - I'm affiliated with MOBS...

Nope. We're there on Fridays for only more week (after this weekend), but will still be there on Sundays. In fact... the Found Footage Festival will be coming back and will be at The Guild on Sunday, Oct 4 (more on that later though). We currently have no space for Fridays, though (after next week). If anyone has ideas, let us know!

And to add further clarification - you can also purchase tickets at the door ($7) just for the screenings of "Fresh" at The Guild, which shows at 2:30 and 4:00 PM.
