Yo, between myself, Tiller, Portsmouth City Council & Southsea Roller Hockey club we have decieded to have a screening of Joe Kid on a Stingray & Southsea Skatepark on December 28th @ 7:30pm so if you fancy it come down.
Yes, I am fully aware that it'll be available to buy on dvd on 20th but I just thought it would be cool to have a get together & watch it on a 'big' screen considering we in the UK missed out on the fancy prem's so......
-
I`ll be there DJ, and where was your artical for ride this month, I spent ages trying to find it :crazy2:
-
Hey Deej...... Rob Steele here...... Hows things? I may pop down for this, in th clubhouse yeah?
-
Bill, I just moved into new gaff & have been offline for over 3 weeks which, for an internet geek like me was hell & hence, I missed my news deadline but did you read the Mark Webb interview I did? Its good reading.
Yo Rob, all good here bro, a nice new big house to redecorate & lots of things BMX to tend too also, always on the go!!
I take it you all heard Mirra left Haro to start his own bike company? I texted him earlier to ask if I could get some inside info for next months column, mmmmmm......
-

-

Dave

Hey, no probs for the 'heads up', I'm hoping it'll be a good evening. Lots of old schoolers & new schoolers &..... NO TALKING!!
Also, dont bo**ock me for saying this here but I have a box of BMX Action Bike mags, Freestyle BMX, Bi-Weekly's etc which are just getting in the way here so, if anyone wants'em then I'll take'em to the screening & they can be picked up from there as long as they go to a good home & if you make a mint out of them I get a cut?!!
-
Are you going to be at the screening in Bournemouth on Sunday DJ ?
-

I'm sorry to say that due to the fact we have no Joe Kid dvd (yet) we are going to have to postpone the screening at bSouthsea on 28th for now. As soon as the dvd gets here we will reschedule it & I'll let you all know ok? Hope you'll still make the effort to get down?
Thanks,
DJ

Bummer.......

Did you get your copy from Alans in the end? If not, perhaps you could borrow mine. I don't know whether the post office is open on the 27th for special delivery, or you have access to couriers?
-
It'd be great to borrow a copy from someone but it's a bit of a hassle plus a lot people are now going to make plans to come down a week or so after the 28th so I think we'll leave it until. Thankyou for the offer though, very grateful.
When we finally do get around to having the screening we are also going to have an old school slide show courtesy of Peter Hawkins. For those of you who know Pete, you'll know he has been around forever & has been to every major freestyule event there is/was. He's got some stunning slides of Fiola, Campbell, Wilkerson, Dominguez, Ruffell, Nourie, RL, Mirra, Hoffman, Freeman, Vanderspek... you get the picture right? Anyway, when we finally get the date sorted the slide will run before or after the film.
-
cool - I can't make the 28th but if the date has changed thats good for me! :)

anyone know if he has got the 1985 king of the skatepark sorted ... he was gonna get a copy for us ..... would REALLY like one!!! hubby is in it x x ;)
-
Cant get my head round the fact that there was going to be a screening and people (who possibly own copies) were already coming......and yet it is suddenly a hassle to have a screening and borrow a copy off of somebody who was already going...Mmmmm?????
-
Because, & I'm not saying this would happen BUT if we (@ Southsea) do the screening, use our projector, our screen & our copy of the DVD we dont have to rely on anyone but ourselves, that way if anything happens we are responsible, no-one else. THats fair enough isnt it? I'd feel terrible if someones copy got lost in the post or they couldnt make it down at the last minute & we were all sat there like plums. It's no big deal, the DVD should be here this week(?) & as soon as it is we'll re-arrange the screening for the following week. PLus we should have all the old school slides from Pete Hawkins as a before or after show. I know it's been a let down (I'm more pissed about it than most as it was my idea) but when it happens it'll be a good night for sure

No worries DJ we'll get a few copies burnt, Just incase, that means there is no danger of any hiccups...........i'll even copy it to vcr and bring my video player just incase as well.........I'll give Efraim a call in the morning to let him know the great news!!!!! Tell yer what DJ you could bring all those pics you took at the oldschool reunion back in the summer i'm sure all the guys from this site would like to see em as well.
-
im sure your not really gonna copy it steve...its illegal to do that, and im sure if you was gonna do it you wouldnt make it publicly known.... ;) ;)
Dave
-
Dave, i would, just make the screening a Proper event and worth while without any hiccups. The law says you can make any amount of backup copies of your own discs so i'll lend DJ the backup copies no worries!!! should be a good night!!!!
-
thought thats what you meant....
Dave
-
Guys, DO NOT GO TO SOUTHSEA tonight.
-
Don`t worry Dave we will wait for the next date, I`d like to see the slide show myself :coolsmiley:
-
Its only coz the council called me earlier to say the 'event' wouldnt be insured which doesnt fuss me (what can happen?) but the roller hockey club where we'll screen the flick (one day!) said they were not doing it without insurance. But no worries, it'll be sorted by the end of the week so again, as soon as the disc is here we're ready to roll....
-
There's a thread on Vintage. A lot of people are saying there have been problems with copies jumping and locking up on certain DVD players/game consoles. DJ do yourself a favor and when you get it play it before the night to make sure it works all the way through on the player you are going to use.
I heard it went a bit pear shaped at the San Francisco premier with the same problem and people got a bit lairy, doubt that'd happen here though we'd just think fek it and have another beer :santa_wink:
