For those of you who have attended pretty much an indie show in Chicago in the last year or so you may have noticed an older fellow come on stage before shows and recite some sweet poetry. Well this fine fellow's name is Thax Douglas and he's an amazing person. So amazing in fact that there was a documentary made about him. It has made several appearences at film festivals recently, but it's official DVD release is going to be on December 1st. Apparently there's going to be a little shindig to celebrate. Here's the email I just got about it:Hope you can make it:
