Logan, et. al.,
At the theater in Santa Fe, the guy who took our tickets said he had
seen it for both showings and said it made him tearful; he also said he is
a caver. I asked him if he was a member of the NSS. He said, NO. The
audience was very small (no more than 10 people, including us 2).
It will take more than a few of us suggesting a showing at our local
art film theater. As Logan says, theaters need to know they will have an
audience. I've been to some films at our local Guild theater that also
have a small number of attendees, but the purveyor shows the films anyway
because he sees the value of the film.
I wasn't saying that I could not survive, but that my direct family
could not. Cavers - many could survive, 'cause we're a pretty tough breed.
