Kick Out The Jams! MC5 - the movie..

Dear Minxy - My beautiful MC5 film gets its UK premiere at the Other Cinema 1 in Rupert St, Soho, London at 8pm on Wednesday October 30. It's part of the Raindance Festival and it's REALLY fucking exciting. Please help me to spread the word. There'll be an aftershow. This has provisionally been booked at The Doghouse which is nearby, I understand. There's also a press and industry screening the previous day at 10am. I have a number for the box office, which is 0207 734 1506. I'd recommend getting tickets nice and early (eight quid) because they're already selling fast - The Bard
