Little lighter crowd at tonight's Mid-Coast Fly Fishers meeting, presumably due to the inclement weather. Learning great news for the future of the club, some fantastic Captains' reports and, despite the rain, we had three new casters (and potential new members!!) receiving some casting instruction on the lawn!
First off, I'd like to apologize for the unplanned hiatus. I've had a helluva couple months here lately, after my trip to North Carolina, but I'm back now and I've got lots of posts in the works! The guys at F3T sent me a media pack and tickets to attend their film showing down at the Buckhead Theatre. After watching the preview DVD (and enjoying all the beer they sent!) I was really excited to attend the show. The show has a long list of sponsors and the presenters do some pretty awesome giveaways during the intermission. They even truck in beer from Oskar Blues Brewery, so, naturally, I got myself a Dale's Pale Ale to enjoy during the show.
I've got to say, I was really quite shocked to be one of the first people in attendance. I like to get to shows like this early, to ensure I get a good seat, but it seemed like the theater didn't really fill up until after the show started. There were several empty seats around me until well after the films started. Perhaps because it was a Wednesday night in Buckhead and the after work traffic was awful as usual. The other thing that surprised me was the lack of energy in the audience. I mean, come on Atlanta, we can do better! The response from the audience just seemed lackluster at best and I felt that the F3T guys deserved better than that. I hope the Cartersville audience in April is a lot more lively!!!
