    So you talked to his agent or Lin?
    Was there plenty of seats cause I know SXSW music was in full effect. Paramount holds more than the Vimeo and that wasn't full when I went.

    What did you think of Lin trying to sing poison?

    It was his agent.. Roger Montgomery. I didnt realize until reading this but Roger does basketball stuff but he got another guy do to contracts and endorsements.

    I would say the theater was like 70% full. I went Saturday at 11:30. A friend of mine knew the UT professor and he had like 50 tickets to give out. Three of us got in for free. I would say that maybe like 20 - 30 people bought tickets because he was giving them out to a lot of his friends.

    I went to the bathroom so maybe I missed the poison but I didnt realize how funny he is. When he started talking about his favorite blankets.. the Lion king.. and how Garfield was his third favorite.. that was hilarious. I am a fan of him now. Both on and off the court.

    well good for him, cause his agent's small time. Lotta people would've dropped him in the dust and hire a heavy hitter.

    I thought Lin's new agent handled his off season signing? So Roger was part of it too?

    After viewing the documentary, if you’re not amazed, inspired and delighted about Lin’s story, you have no heart. I can’t say LINSANITY is the most insightful, eye opening or life changing documentary you’ll ever see, but even if you’re not a sports fan, there is a lot to like about the film itself and certainly Lin’s story.

    Looks like LA is the next stop on the Linsanity train, according to the LA Times: http://www.latimes.com/entertainmen...nounces-dates-lineup-20130401,0,6807756.story

    Not NorCal Bay Area, but SoCal Hollywood this time. Cali gets 2 festivals for Linsanity while other states haven't even gotten one.

    also you mean they have 2 festivals WITH Linsanity.

    Nobody is making a film festival for one movie.

    Didn't know where to post this old news. I'm not even sure if it's been posted anywhere on the board, so just decided to leave it here.
