Keith Laubhan Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I work for National CineMedia, the company that does Fathom Events, and we just go the press release for Big Loud & Live. Just to confirm, it is in fact 15 corps in their entirety, with highlights of the other seven. In related news, I've got to do some art direction on the graphics for this event, as well as the last Countdown.

crown1993 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I will probably just watch Semis the next night on the Fan Network and pay a SANE price for some Orvil Reddenbacher (sp?) popcorn and a Coke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nation of Bass Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 That I don't know... I'm a graphic designer and don't have any involvement with the theater selection. Sorry, man. Fair enough. Thought I'd ask, since I enjoyed the theater they held it in last year in Boulder. That theater even served Nathans Hot Dogs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
