Renegade Picture Show

Last Saturday we hosted the 2011 Reel Rock Film Tour as our 20th Renegade Picture Show. Backwoods sponsored the event - which was really cool of them. It was held at Rocktown on the back of the building where there is a large white screen painted - same place that many other RPSs have been shown.

As the crowd was mostly climbers, it was after all, a climbing film festival, they were drawn to the outdoor gear-store sponsor, and the wine vendor, the most. Our t-shirt vendor did ok but I think they wished that they would have sold more shirts. In any case, the event went wonderfully - not a single technical issue. In fact, it was probably one of the smoothest running shows I've delivered. As for the climbing films - all were absolutely amazing and with the feedback I got, everyone was really happy they attended. So maybe we'll make it an annual event. **** On to s...
