We’re going to be announcing the date that tickets go on sale over the next few days (mind you, this won’t be the call to order tickets- just telling you guys the date/time that we’ll be putting them on sale in advance so you can all plan when to be at your phones). 430 seats are available, and the price will be $50- so, whereas Vulgarthon 1998 was Five Flicks/Forty Bucks, V2K it’ll be Five Flicks/Fifty Bucks. The reason for the increase is a big increase in the cost of throwing this event – last time, we we’re able to rent the theater very cheaply since it was just about to change hands to new ownership. This time, we had to rent from the new ownership and are being charged a lot more, plus we’re renting a sound system for each theater, and state-of-the-art video projectors. We tested the projectors out last week using VHS tapes, and the results we’re really nice. Since we’ll be projecting the View Askew “small” films off of professional Betacam-SP videotape rather than lowly VHS, they should look terrific indeed, and they will all sound a HELL of a lot better than 16mm optical sound prints. The line up is as follows: DOGMA (Cannes version with extra footage including the Fat Albert song and Azreal’s “nature of hell” speech), DRAWING FLIES, A BETTER PLACE (the director’s cut that’ll be coming out on DVD around Xmas time), VULGAR, and BIG HELIUM DOG. V2K will be held on Monday, October 30th.

More info to follow over the next few days…
