Hey, all of you C.O.C.U. (Center of the Caving Universe) cavers!
This superb movie, directed by Werner Herzog, is opening in your area Friday, May 20th, and y'all are invited and encouraged to attend. I'm working on finding out what the discount will be, but, the more cavers the better, I would imagine. If you're interested in attending, please send me your name so I can give David a fairly accurate head count. Bill Steele, Diana Tomchick, and a bunch of DFW cavers and myself have already seen this movie and give it an enthusiastic muddy "thumbs up"! Look for reviews of this movie in the next TEXAS CAVER, which I am feverishly working on as we speak. Send me your thoughts and reviews for inclusion, ASAP, as well. Thanks!

Violet Crown Cinema is a locally owned and operated cinema with four screens devoted to art, independent, documentary and international films. Violet Crown offers modern amenities including state-of-the-art digital sound and projection, comfortable seating, stadium auditoriums with unobstructed sight lines, and a full bar and café with daily specials and craft cocktails that can be taken into the theater. We have a film called Cave of Forgotten Dreams opening this coming Friday, May 20th that may interest the Texas Speleological Association. The documentary from acclaimed German director Werner Herzog gives the viewer exclusive access to the Chauvet caves of Southern France, capturing the oldest known pictorial creations of humankind in their astonishing natural setting. I am wondering of you might be able to inform your peers about the film's screenings? Also, I would like to offer TSA a group discount if there is interest in viewing the film which will be presented in Digital 3D. I look forward to your reply and speaking with you further. Best, David Gil Marketing Manager Violet Crown Cinema 512.495.9600
