Last Monday we held our DVD release party at the Greenhouse Tavern. We certainly didn't make any money relative to what we put into the event. But I think we can say it was a big success as a party, because the locally-sourced food, live music, and drinks were great - and, most importantly, our 90 guests all seemed to have a good time. We also spread the word of the movie being available on DVD quite widely throughout Greater Cleveland. Thanks again to all those who helped with that:
