:: FILMED BY BIKE ::
April 14th, 2006
Clinton St. Theater
Portland, OR - USA
============

All films are in and the jury has met. You're in for a good show!

:: 44 SUBMISSIONS ::
The number of submissions for this year's festival quadrupled from previous years and the jury spent hours screening through all of them. The program will be available on the site next week. The most distant submission came from Spain and the closest came from someone who lives just down the street from the Filmed by Bike Woodlawn Headquarters.

:: SELLING OUT IS SOMETIMES A GOOD THING ::
We want to sell out! That is, we want a packed house for our 7:00 and 9:00 screenings. Filmed by Bike has sold out every year and every year we have expanded. This year that means we want to get 500 people to the Clinton Street Theater on April 14th. *We need your help* Spread the word, tell all your friends and let's rock the house.

:: DVD ::
New for 2006! A compilation DVD will be available for sale. It will feature most of the films screened at the festival as well as bonus material of gems that just didn't make the cut. DVDs will be $10 at the festival and afterwards online year-round for $15 incl. US postage and handling.

:: 9:00 for the older kids ::
Due to new OLCC regulations, the 9:00 show is for 21 and over folks only. Don't worry, you'll still be able to drink delicious New Belgium Fat Tire at both screenings.

:: RAFFLE ::
And the raffle for this newsletter ..... a free entry ticket. Available to the first person who e-mails Info@FilmedByBike.org.
