More tour pain

Organizing this screening tour of the southwest continues to be a big pain in the ass. There are a host of reasons. Email problems on both sides, lack of equipment, contacts, experience... I'm starting to think it was a mistake to even try. If it comes together, will it even be worth it? I'm even thinking of calling the whole thing off, it's such a mess. Although I know that some people in Arizona and New Mexico have been putting time and effort into helping me out and I would hate to let them down. But I still have zero, that's NO, confirmed shows set up, just a bunch of maybes.

Right now it looks like:

  • Nov 6 - Albuquerque
  • Nov 7 - Santa Fe ( still need a projector)
  • Nov 12 - Flagstaff ( still waiting to hear from Flagstaff Activist Network)
  • Nov 13 - Tempe ( waiting to confirm from Be-in-the-Know film series )
  • Nov 15 or 16 - Tucson (waiting to hear from Walt at Arizona IMC)

    But I don't really know if ANY of those will really happen.

    Tonite is the show here in San Francisco. It will be my litmus test. However, I'm not sure what the test will mean. If it's successful it will encourage me to do these other shows. At the same time if it's REALLY successful maybe I won't NEED to do any more Bolivia fundraising and I won't NEED to do the other shows. However, I doubt the latter. I will be happy if 30 people show up at ATA tonight.

    In a way I just want to cancel the tour and go to Guadalajara instead, y apprendo mas espaņol.
