San Diego Film Series Committee would like to send our
apologies to anyone who attempted to attend our showing
of The Price of Pleasure on September 8th at the Queen
Bee Cultural Center (formerly known as the 8teen Cultural
Center) in North Park. As the posted note on the front
entrance of the center stated, ASD does not control
access to the Queen Bee Cultural Center and the center's
management made an error in their scheduling calendar
which resulted in our not being able to gain access
to the center in order to show the film. Activist San
Diego Film Series will reschedule a showing of this
film at a future date. Thanks for the understanding...

| "Bill
Maher asked me on his show last week if America is still
a great nation. I should have said it's the greatest
show on earth. Forget what you learned in civics about
the Founding Fathers - we're the children of Barnum
and Bailey, our founding con men. Their freak show was
the forerunner of today's talk radio."
