Morning: first presentation focusing on The Chupacabra Ate the Candelabra, which was also my first appearance at legendary DC bookstore Politics & Prose.
Afternoon: trained to Philadelphia.
Evening: first public screening of Batman & Bill, which was held at the Bryn Mawr Film Institute, where my college friend Andrew Douglas is the Director of Education. After the 90-minute film, I joined the directors Don Argott and Sheena Joyce for a Q&A.
The directors and I all teared up during the movie even though we already knew where this thing was headed. It speaks to the human collective, the power of seeing a film in a theater with strangers and feeding off their unseen emotions—the original, pure cinema experience.
A highlight: one audience member said "That was the best Batman movie I've ever seen."
A higherlight: he then posted the same online:
Thank you to Andrew and the BMFI for hosting this special event. Thanks to Hulu, Don, and Sheena for agreeing to do it. Thanks to friends (Rachel Loonin) and brothers-of-friends-who-are-now-friends (Peter Decherney) for coming out.
And thanks to the aforementioned strangers who showed up to pay tribute in a new way to the man behind the mask.
