Go to AFF ... and maybe the Stones concert too

in

I just got info about a cool promotion that Austin Film Festival is running: if you purchase a festival badge before Sept. 22, you're entered in a raffle to win two tickets to the Rolling Stones concert in Austin on Oct. 22. Since the concert takes place during the same week as AFF, out-of-town festival attendees can potentially win and attend.

The raffle is for people who purchase Weekend, Conference, or Producer badges ... not for film passes, which I don't think are on sale yet anyway. The badges give you access to the film festival and to the filmmaking/screenwriting conference.

So if you're planning to attend AFF and haven't registered yet, now is the time. (Besides, badge prices go up after Sept. 22.) Right now is the time for me to make some sort of witty remark involving Stones lyrics, perhaps something about getting satisfaction, but I can't think of anything. I am attending AFF this year, at least the film festival portion ... if you'll be there too, let me know!
