Wow. Having read your report here and the RogerEbert piece – several times – I just wish I had been there. So jealous!
I feel so fortunate that I was there. Because it sounds like these guys are not going to re-unite again. This was enough for them.
Wonderful write-up Sheila and what a privilege it must have been to attend. Do you know if video will be posted at any point? Would really enjoy watching that.. It is great that these guys can get together and still have fun. There are so many groups that just cannot seem to get along at all.
Paul – I bet there will be full video of the whole thing! I haven’t surfed around for it, though – some clips of it may already have been uploaded.
there were moments when everyone up there was basically just walking around randomly and sitting in different chairs. Hysterical – total mayhem.
Here’s what looks to be an audience-member video of the whole thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOGKxyGCaMo
Not sure of the quality – but there it is!
Hopefully there will be something more streamlined and professional put up.
Tribeca has put up shorter clips – much better quality:

Very cool – thanks for linking these Sheila!
My pleasure!
