A Sewer Runs Through It

Hello all,

This Wednesday, Nov 12, 7:30pm at the Tivoli...If you still want in, Boyd
can still reserve seats as long as I tell him today.

I know some of you have only recently been added to this email list.  New
members: River Kids is in this documentary (small part) about the River des
Peres.  It was created Boyd Pickup with HEC-TV.  It should be educational,
eye-opening, and fun...If you'd like to attend, just reply with the number
of seats you'd like.

Thanks!

Ben

Liquid Assets - The Story of Our Water Infrastructure

RK Families,

I've recently purchased a copy of the new documentary, "Liquid Assets: The
Story of Our Water Infrastructure."  It tells the somewhat shocking story of
how our underground drinking water, wastewater, and storm water systems in
the U.S. Are past their prime.  It also shares some stories from major
cities about how they are coping.  St. Louis is not a subject city, but it
could have been.  We have a combined system here that can cause (in high
water situations) an overflow of raw storm drain and sewer water straight
into the Mississippi River.  This type of system is discussed as well as the
issues a municipality such as St. Louis faces because of the choices made so
long ago.

If you're interested in buying it, you can Google the title and get there from the main site, or follow the link that the blogger-man made here.  (Not a straight-forward process, I'm afraid, unless you follow the link that the blogger-man made.)  If you'd simply like to borrow it, I bought it for that purpose.  I should have it in my room at school starting Monday.

Don't forget about the upcoming showing of "A Sewer Runs Through It" at the
Tivoli November 12!  River Kids wound up reserving 34 seats, so we will be
there in force!  If you didn't reserve a seat, you may still come to this
event.

If you can't make this one, we'll be publicizing the info on a second
showing at NCS later on.

Rock on!

Reservations for RdP Movie

Originally, I'd asked for everyone to RSVP to me by today so I can
reserve
seats for you. I am going to send in numbers this afternoon so the
can hold
the seats. If you've sent something to me already, please do not send
again. I have counted you. However, I will still count people
through this
evening.

The date is November 12, 7:30pm at the Tivoli Theater in the Loop.

This event is sponsored by HEC and is free. Anyone may show up to the
event
without a reservation. Boyd is just being nice enough to reserve
seats for
those people who helped along the way as the film was being made. RK
Families are on the list.

If you're interested in a second showing, or cannot make it to this
one, we
will be arranging a showing at New City School later on. The date is
yet to
be set, but Boyd (the film-maker) has agreed to sharing the film and his
time.

RSVP for "A Sewer Runs Through It"

FYI - From the email below, I gather there's a chance there may not be
a seat for you if you don't reserve one...I will reserve seats with
Boyd for anyone who emails me before next Friday, October 30. After
that, you can still show up, but there's no guarantee that there will
be a seat for you.

If you would like to attend, simply reply to this email telling me how
many seats you will need. I'll total things up by next Friday and let
Boyd know.

Reminder, this is for the Premiere of "A Sewer Runs Through It" on
Wednesday, November 12, 7:30pm.

This is a free event and open to the public, so friends are welcome.
Tell/Bring anyone you'd like!

Hello All,

For those of you on this list who plan on attending, I would like to
be able to hold seats for you so that no matter how many people show
up, you can have a spot. If you could please let me know how many of
you plan to attend, I would greatly appreciate it. I greatly
appreciate all of your support and want to make sure that there is a
spot open for you.

Thanks again,

Boyd
