• Finally today, a nice little post from the man himself on the WWWBoard that should interest you:

Sounds like Fletch AND the holiday screenings are a go! We’re psyched. See ya next time. Thanks for stopping by.

• Alas, we’re going to miss this, but it doesn’t mean you can’t go and give us a full report! Neil Juan Luis Pedro Philipo de Huevos tells us that plenty of tickets are still available for the scerening, which takes place at the Walter Reade Theatre. It hold 268 people, and there’s 200 left (most of which will be sold tomorrow, we’re sure). If you want to reserve tickets, call movie phone (777-FILM). If you want to reach the box office, their number is (212) 875-5601 after 2:00pm. Don’t miss your chance to catch this flick before all your friends AND support an up-and-coming director who’ll surely be able to buy and sell us someday! Right, Vinnie?

• Thanks to our pal Melissa and board regular HolyToads for letting us know that Kevin will be appearing at Rutgers NEW BRUNSWICK CAMPUS (Cook Campus Center) this Friday at 7 PM, doing the Chasing Amy screening and Q&A thing like he did at the Camden campus around a month ago (Read all about it here or in our wonderful Trips section on the left). If you missed the last one, DO NOT MISS THIS ONE! A fine time will certainly be had by all.

Here’s some additional info direct from Kim on the appearance:

• We’ve mentioned it the past and asked for help as a precautionary measure, but now, it’s really happening. Within the next month, this page WILL move to a new server, with a new address.

The reason for this is because we’re moving our internet account to a new provider, on an ultra fast cable modem no less! Why is this bad? Well, the new provider doesn’t give us enough web space to hold our page, unless we’re willing to pay an extra 5 dollars a month per meg! This is outrageous and we refuse to pay.

Therefore, WE NEED A NEW HOME! And we MEAN it this time! Sorry to put you all on the line like this, but it’s time for you to come through! Here’s what we’ll need:

• A fast, reliable server that will be online and available for many years to come.
• Approximately 4 megs of disk space to start, with that number growing at the rate of 300k or so (give or take) monthly, due to the news archives.
• Access to the webpage at all times, through either telnet, FTP, or both, in order to let us update the page in realtime, at any time we need, to get the breaking news online right away. This is VERY IMPORTANT and the reason we couldn’t accept a lot of our previous invitations!

Well, that’s pretty much it. Not a problem, huh? We know it’s a tall order, but we think SOMEONE out there can come through for us. The site gets around 200 hits per day now, which is pretty low traffic as far as websites go, so it shouldn’t hurt your bandwidth. If you need us to link back to you somehow in an advertisement, we can certainly work something out, although we’d prefer not to plaster ads all over the site and ruin its look.

And finally, yes, we are aware of Geocities and the other “free” web space providers. We hate them and refuse to put News Askew there. Not only are they slow, but they limit your disk space and they make you puts ads all over the place. And they’re slow.

PLEASE HELP US! We’ll be your best friend. E-Mail us HERE to apply!
