And here comes a cold front, just in time.:up: And I predict the eyes will be far drier watching the man being killed by a crocodile than they were when the baby hippo met a similar fate a few years back.:lol:

Films vs Bama/LSU. :idontno:

The former is probably a better experience than the latter. But we are addicted to college football. :blush:

The films will always be there, perhaps somewhat hard to find, but the Bama game is going to be an event! It's halftime now, and it's been non-stop hard-hitting SEC football. The defenses are dominating so far, but the next 30 minutes might be too much to take!

:bow:

Seriously? We are talking about a college football game on the Mountainfilm thread?:lol:

:blush:


I'm sure y'all had funn. Tell us about it!

Now that the Gators stink at football (sorry, Darg Vader), I'd like to attend next year.

To some of us, it was one of the best ever, the 11th MountainFilm at WaterColor.

Please give the staff & promoters of the event some feedback, OK? Thanks!

It was awesome! SoWal is happy to be a part of it and help promote and sponsor.

The weather was perfect. The food from the staff at Fish Out of Water was yummy. Jennifer Williams and Patrick McCarthy and the crew at Noble House had their first experience managing it and they pulled it off. As always John Rosenberg and Jim Pettigrew produced an excellent event.

Another fantastic year and perfect weather!

Loved all the films! Getting eaten by a giant crocodile while kayaking (actually whenever) is now on my list of ways I would not want to die!

Can't believe anyone would choose a football game over MountainFilm - that is what DVRs are for people!

Liked the lighted bags for the paths instead of the rope lights - less distracting and did a better job marking I thought.

My only negatives were bathroom lines (due to the recent Baithouse fire, so that couldn't be helped) and people who couldn't stop playing with their phones during the movies - freaking ridiculous that they couldn't put them down even to watch something fascinating on a big screen!

This was an unfortunate conflict, having the contest between #1 and #2 (both of them southern teams) starting at the same time as Mountainfilm. But, you are asking a whole lot out of southerners, who rightly or wrongly are freaks about college football, to just go home and watch the game on tape at some future time. Culture isn't right or wrong, it just is what it is. Consider that your plan of skipping the game and watching at home later implies asking people to ditch watch parties with friends (and strangers) who have a passionate interest in their teams, and that is tough. It probably will never happen again, so no biggee.

I saw a lady go into the men's room Friday night, by the way :lol:

We usually institute a strict "info blackout" and then watch the game right after the more important event - and save time/catch-up by skipping the commercials.

DVR is a magic invention IMO.
