Apparently, Cinema 21 was the only theater interested in the film festival. I don't know if the same was true for this year. Last year I had the opportunity to talk to Brendt Barbur after the show.

I spend a lot of time between NW and SE, and there are simply a lot more cyclists in SE. If the event was held at the Clinton or Baghdad, a lot of us might be a lot more inclined for the pedal...

Last year, there were a number of competing events (including Cycle Oregon) and the weather was too nice to be indoors. December is the perfect month for something like this, where you're as inclined to watch bikes as you are to ride them. Hopefully, It'll do a lot better this year.

Most of us just can't get enough of this gem (with deep meaning and heavy fun) that was the climax of the 2007 Filmed by Bike. We re-showed it at the Retro fest and a guy in a suit coat and slacks turned to me to say "Is this Ski Boys? God this is good." So it's exciting to see that the boys will be romping in the fields with their antics again at the Bicycle Film Fest when it comes to town. Ski Boys shows at the Friday 9pm showing as part of the shorts program. SKI BOYS!!!!! SKI BOYS!!!!!
