C-U Blogfidential

Select movie listings for November 1-7, 2024 in Champaign, Urbana, and the cities beyond! Don’t forget to peruse this week’s Field(s of Gold) Report! Did you take a peek at the (25th anniversary) Image of the week? And, have you memorized the (25th Anniversary) Confidential Almanac for today?

Wouldn’t be prudent for us to promote this weekend’s UIUC and ISU student film shows without honoring the 50th anniversary of the UI student-made ‘MaGuffin’ and SHOT as well. Get learned!

Once upon a time, next to no one in our society knew how to make movies. Traveling impresarios of a century ago made sure to tease the average citizen with the possibilities in programs like ‘Making Movies.’

Our second post today is to field the idea of publishing the next issue of C-U Confidential this year. For the interim, we will need to handle it different since it began in 2007. Are you on board?

What a crock of hooey. The Art Theater is closing. The New Art Film Festival is in limbo. C-U Confidential #10 is still not fully distributed. What next? Oh, yes. We’ll always have MICRO-FILM. Right.

A cold, hard chill can put a little snap into your step when dulled by a clammy reality. That’s what finally broke us from our rut and resulted in C-U Confidential issue 10, now available for your reading pleasure!

Champaign, IL, native and author Colin Price will celebrate the release of his first book, ‘Red Light and Other Tales,’ at Pipa’s Pub on Sunday, July 14, 2019. The meet-and-greet begins at 8 p.m. Be there, not square!

Now that C-U Confidential is guaranteed to return for a tenth round, we simply have to finish it off. Life never makes it that simple, though, even when bonus goodness steps into the pathway before the finish line.

Does anybody remember when your humble editor was an artist and photographer instead of a Confidential provocateur? We present the dirt on his past dalliances in black-and-white and living color!

We are legitimately excited to be able to issue C-U Confidential #10, folks, although it’s clear we won’t be doing Confidential business as usual going forward. Give us a moment to have a moment, then.

It feels like we’ve been greasing the wheels forever to put C-U Confidential issue 10 on the board. We are hours away from the end of our current funding campaign and a third strike against it looms.

Advertisers may contact us at any time about reserving space in the next issue of C-U Confidential, tentatively slated to street in January 2019. Want to be a pal? Take the info down and pass it around!

It’s come to this. It could be worse. Let’s make the cultural life of Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, a little bit groovier with a new issue of C-U Confidential digest. We need your help on this one, dearest C-U. Dig?

Just like the headline says, we’ll begin our on-line drive to partly fund the printing of C-U Confidential digest #10 on November 26, 2018, also known as (shudder) Cyber Monday.

We may also have legitimacy and dependability in our print history, but our budget lifeline has dried up. It’s finally time to beg and grovel publicly for help to put C-U Confidential back on the board.
