The Reviews Are In!

We all had a great time last night at the screening of "The Donner Party"! Not only was the film amazing but Ric was very, very interesting and insightful at the Q&A after the film. Several people emailed me this morning to say how much they enjoyed it. Here are some of their reviews:

"It was such a privilege to be there!"

"What an intelligent and thoroughly thoughtful man he is."

"What a great evening!"

The evening went so well that we might do it again next year with one of Ric's other films. For any of you who would rather not wait until then to see more of Ric's work, all of his films are for sale through PBS Online Store.

Since it would probably be hard to screen his entire "New York" series together I would highly recommend you checking this incredible work out at home. If is a wonderful portrait of what I consider the greatest city in the world!

Thanks again to everyone who helped last night! Brave Emma for always, always helping with everything! Rick Altman for setting up the professional sound system. Vinny Wallace for opening the theater and helping in any way possible. The STS board for allowing us to use the theater. Bonnie LaFave for working with me to organize this great event and last but not least to Ric Burns for agreeing to share his amazing vision with us!!!! It was a great night!!
