So how was Wednesday?

Wednesday was yet another broken record day, that's how it was! Our new Wednesday high is 5,581 film attendees! There were wonderful -- but so well-behaved! -- crowds both here and at the Capitol Theatre last night. And you've remained so philanthropic, too! The Challenge Match now stands at $26,000 and you've bought almost $15,000 in merchandise! How cool is that?

It's going to be another excellent day here in Tower City Center. You may notice some special signs up, because the whole day today is sponsored by Medical Mutual of Ohio. We have lots of organizations that sponsor a film, or a panel, but we've never had a company sponsor a whole day before! It's pretty wild!

Later today we're going to have another riveting Film Forum, after Eleanore & the Timekeeper. Come meet up with our panel of special guests to discuss that special film!

It's also our Rick Whitbeck Evening at the Cedar Lee Theatre tonight, and I'm sure many of you will be heading over there to see With Love, From the Age of Reason, which screens at 7:15. NightTown is hosting a pre-film reception starting at 5:00, and they'll have dinner specials after the film -- and their food is awesome!

And speaking of food, I'm off to explore the offerings in the Hospitality HQ... back soon!
