things do not look good for my hanging on here.  I just need to find out who to contact there about fixing the malfunctioning helpdesks in London!

Yes, see here http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php?topic=4594.0

If you're up for it let Christie know as soon as you can.

I'm very excited as I only discovered BBM on DVD and so have never seen it on the big screen. Not sure about 30 of us blundering around Leicester Square with red puffy eyes weeping uncontrollably mind you.

Having just seen the movie on a big screen in Boston with 17 fellow Brokies, I can tell you, it is a very moving experience. I saw the movie 6 times in the theater and most of the times it was good--there was one viewing with blabbing teenagers and cellphones, but the other 5 were quality experiences. Still, something about being in a theater with a group of like minded people, really makes a difference. I would encourage you to get to the London screening, if at all possible.

And believe it or not, I didn't cry--well, just a few tears. However, there were a few in the theater who more than made up for my lack of tearful emotion. LOL

I've just sent a message saying I want to go. Other half will just have to take care of the kids for me! It would be great as you say MaineWriter to see it with a group of real fans. I saw it 6 times too, and some of the audiences were downright ignorant!

It has occurred to me that we have relatively little in the gallery to help us visualise the Red Stallion. For example do we have photos of the interior and exterior? To kick things off I thought I would offer the following as possible logos for external signage, stationery etc. What’s your choice?

[louisev]

One thing to bear in mind is that the Red Stallion is a semi-private club, and does not advertise itself as anything more than a "Men's Billiard and Drinking Club."  Therefore its signage is subtle, and the only thing it does advertise is "Billiards."  Ellery bought it as an aging, run-down billiard room and had it refurbished with a bar and kitchen.  It doesnt take much to fill it up.  The "back room" has the single pool table, jukebox, and four-person tables, and the front area has the bar, entryway, and hall leading to the bathrooms.  Ellery's (miniscule) office is behind the bar, and there is a small kitchen next to that which is also entered from behind the bar.

I don't know why but reading this about The Red Stallion I felt all warm inside, knowing as we do the place and the people who frequent it.  It was the mention of Ellery's office that set me off.      Silly really, considering the place not even real.

Since Ellery has a big mouth, I guess he'll "casually" mention this Bonnie Ruskin ordeal to Wes some of these days. You know, acting like a jealous husband and all. LOL
