I was right alongside Maine this summer Revi, but can't make it there for Dec 2. When might the full screening be at a theater near anyone in another state?

[Revi]

Thanks for weighing in Adam B. It will be out on DVD soon, and I'll let everybody know how they can get a copy.

The room has changed, but it's just down the hall from the original one. It's still going to be shown on weds. Nov.16th at 6:30 in room 153 Diamond Building, Colby College, Waterville, Maine. See you there!

[Revi]

It's going to be uuuuuuuuge! I put some posters up at Colby and it looks like we are going to have quite a few people there!

You're not by any chance making fun of aging boomer peak oil people are you??

[Revi]

I am, but I am one of them. Most people don't have any clue about peak oil. I am showing it to a bunch of people who think I'm nuts tomorrow night. That's okay. It will slowly dawn on them, maybe. If they think I'm nuts even at the end of the film, that's okay too.

[Revi]

We had a really great showing last night. About 28 people who asked great questions about oil and what's happening.

I think they got it a little. It was really fun overall.

The next showing will be in Dexter at the Abbott Library. Go around the side! It is to an awesome group called Dexter Dover Area Towns in Transition. They are going to be a great audience, and we'll have a discussion afterwards. Come check it out at 6pm on Friday, December 2nd. Dexter, Maine.

Quite a comment on something that was claimed to have happened a decade ago and was so unnoticeable...don't you think?

Good stories are good stories, there is no requirement of reality or facts getting involved. So it isn't about "nuts", but just a cool story. Your cool story. So you tell your cool story any way you want and the audience thinks what it thinks.

Excellent! Let me know if the road show makes it out west.

[Revi]

It might, you never know!

Good for you Revi!

It's going to be uuuuuuuuge!

off topic, but there's a kia dealer down here on the sun coast that uses that as his tag line in every ad... we all love to hate him

This film might wake a few people up, gently. It has no graphs, nor any real scare tactics.
So far it's worked to get people thinking, which is all we can hope for.

Two more possible showings. On is in Seattle and the other is right nearby, in Carrabassett Valley. We'll see...

If you want to move the the public you have to either stroke or scare them. More rational science does not get through the numbskulls lol

The public isn't the only gang that isn't bothered much by rational science.

We would need a big giant special effects Hollywood blockbuster to awaken the herd to the threat of Peak oil. Unfortunately empty shelves and unemployment don't make for a good screenplay. I have tried. Trust me.

The threat of peak oil? Oh...you mean the one that happened a decade or so ago? All the conventional oil supply disappeared and whatever replaced it gave us glut, oversupply and lower prices. Like most consumers, I thought the ongoing transition had already handled it? Anyway...I don't think it worked very well because, well, most consumers fill up their autos once or twice a month can get a good look at what their costs for fuel are, more than a decade after all that conventional peak oil stuff and really, they don't appear all that afraid.

Some people were thinking, even back then. Mr Rockman, Mr Reserve, Mr Copious, Mr Denver, all of them appeared to have figured things even as peak oil was happening. So, when the people doing the thinking knew better than to fall for peak oil, of what good is that? Peak oil back when it happened couldn't do it, the people wanting to scare people moved on to other mechanisms, and all the sheeple got were tshirts that highlight that the wearer got suckered.
