Episode 4: A New Hope
Three years ago, my twin and I made history by holding the world's first ever TV Festival. Movie Festivals already abounded, from the beaches of Cannes to the mountains of Sundance, but no one had ever attempted what seemed to us to be a natural extension for the visual arts. We culled some video tapes, called some friends, printed the programs, reserved a giant sub sandwich, and began the journey of a thousand miles with but a single step and the Cheers' episode where Cliff goes on Jeopardy!.Three years and 57 screened clips and episodes later, we're at it again. Aaron and I hereby announce the 4th Annual Moeller TV Festival to be held November 5th and 6th at Aaron's home in Cedar Rapids, IA, USA, assuming we meet the landlord's code. We promise a rousing mix of small screen classics, focused this year on the present day and the decade of the 1970s. Controversy and censorship will be running themes throughout the event. The full schedule of programs to be viewed will be published on this blog in October.
If you are interested in attending, e-mail me at christophermmoeller@msn.com. Directions will be provided. Food and drink will be complimentary at the event, and gifts for the hosts are not mandatory. If you do choose to buy gifts for the hosts, however, the traditional 3rd Anniversary gifts are of leather and crystal. Hope to see you there!

Sure, I move to KC and get excited about finally attending the TV festival, and you move it 2 hours closer to Milwaukee (and 2 hours further from KC). If you guys don't want me to come, just say so.
I was also thinking it would be fun to have an APBA weekend somtime. Maybe some sort of double-elimination tournament with as many participants from the old league as we could get together.
Dave L, are you going to be at the TV Festival? It would be great to see you again. TA
Chris- how did you lose the bid? Des moines '06!
Hookers and booze for the selection committee. Aaron had 'em, we didn't. But we did offer t-shirts promoting the new science center.
Maybe we'll start a shuttle.
