Hiya folks,

We’ve had quite the good times back home in Philadelphia: sharing meals, telling stories and participating in a favorite past time - Buy Nothing Day.  It comes from the fine folks at Adbusters, read up on the where & why at their website.

You might be aware some of the interviewees from The Ordinary Radicals have tons of fun every year putting on Buy Nothing Day events all across the US & Canada.  One particular BND event close to our hearts here is the Philadelphia event.  It’s organized by friends connected to The Simple Way and features everyone’s favorite thrift store super friends: The USAntiheroes!

Read up on their past antics while Jamie heads out to film their latest adventure.

Had the chance to sit down with Sandra B. from radio 105.9FM in London, Ontario.    Sandra, her friend Clay and I got to hang out at their studio and talk on air about all sorts of what nots.  I really enjoyed talking with them (we talked just a much off air as we did on air).

Jamie Moffett Interivew: London, Ontario 105.9 FM

OK, time to drive to Ontario.  I’m sure there’s a Tim Horton’s somewhere I can snag a cup of coffee.  Why don’t we have Tim Horton’s in Philly?  Too bad for us.

Here’s a newspaper article from the Lexington Hearald Leader on The Ordinary Radicals, atheism and Christianity.

I’ll be in Lexington this week to screen The Ordinary Radicals.  Stop by and say hey!

We had some emails asking for some more information regarding tomorrow’s screenings.  There will be two screenings tomorrow at the Anthony Wayne Theatre, one at 11AM and one at 11PM.  At 1:30PM, on the campus of Eastern University there will be a talkback discussion with Jamie Moffett- this event is free and open to the public.  Tickets for the screenings will continue to be sold online, and you can also buy tickets at the door, but we highly recommend getting tickets online beforehand to secure your ticket.  See you in Wayne!

Peace-

Ryan

Happy October!
There’s been a lot going on with “The Ordinary Radicals”!

First, Director Jamie Moffett was recently interviewed in a podcast for Etcetera. Make sure you take a listen….

We are so excited by the requests from around the world from people who are excited about the film and want us to bring it to their area! And as a result, we’re adding dates all the time! Recently, we added Toronto and Portland. Keep checking our events page as there will be new dates added constantly.

There is still time to bring a screening to your area. If you would like more information on how you can help bring “The Ordinary Radicals” to your community, or to help with a screening that is scheduled for your area, email events@theordinaryradicals.com.

Also, we’re anxious to bring the film to the Northeast and to the Green Bay area- if you can help with either, we especially need you to contact us by email at events@theordinaryradicals.com.

Also, did you know that when you buy the soundtrack for the film, you can instantly download it? Check it out!

AND you can also listen live online at www.peoplepowerhour.com.  Make sure to tune in!

Wow, what an amazing time. Nearly 300 people packed the theater of the Bryn Mawr Film Institute for the first public screening of The Ordinary Radicals. It was unbelievable. We had a fabulous reception designed by Shannon Oberg and Jake Miller of Gather Events; wonderful screening in a beautiful theater (thanks to Dave Mattson and Alice Bullitt).
It was great to see so many faces from the movie in the audience: Brooke Sexton, Tony Campolo, Leroy Barber, Becky Garrison, Terry Foester, Rene Colson Hudson and more).
And then we followed it up with an after party into the wee hours at the New Orleans restaurant next door. I’m getting tons of great notes from folks (and if you’ve seen the film, email: feedback@theordinaryradicals.com to let us know what you think).
So very very many thanks to everyone that helped to make this documentary happen. Now let’s go on a 20 city tour with this movie!!! ~jamie

New Orleans. What a city! I-10 glides above the bayou, a highway risen up from the murky waters. Tree lined streets sprouting mardi-gras beads. Shot-gun houses with six-foot shutters, and restaurant dining in the back of pick-up trucks. This is how New Orleans greeted me and I loved it and it loved me back with the first bite of seafood bouillabaisse from jacques imo’s. Many thanks to our host, Erin McQuade

who not only housed us in the abode of the famous artist Thomas Mann but introduced us to Michael Wong,

a man choosing to move into the margins of emipire in Central City and nourish and learn from the roots of an old and wise community.
