Did we steal the Indians' mojo yesterday?

I doubt any of you are surprised when I tell you that we broke our Friday attendance record again! 7,179 of you were here yesterday, making it the best Friday we've ever had! You bought almost $2,500 in merchandise, too! And the Challenge Match now stands at $37,200!!!

We're going to keep going with the Challenge Match all through the weekend, because the Cuyahoga Arts and Culture will continue matching your donations, making them go twice as far, up to $126,000! I dare you to take us that high! (And you're a crowd that doesn't seem to have ever walked away from a dare in your lives, too!) There are some awesome prize drawings you can sign up for, too, and this year's buttons are amazing, so it's not like you'll walk away empty-handed, either.

Today is going to be wild. A lot of things are going on Stand-By, so remember how Stand-By works and come down a little early if you didn't already buy your tickets. Bill's been doing some amazing theater-juggling tricks to make sure we can get as many of you into the seats as we can, so don't let the big STAND-BY board intimidate you. You still have a great chance to get into the film of your choice, and we want you to get in, too.
