Our movie and media Calendar appears every Friday\/Saturday on <\/em>C-U Blogfidential<\/span><\/strong> and caters to the downstate region anchored by Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, USA.<\/em><\/p>\n ~~~~~<\/p>\n MILESTONES | Happy Birthday to You!<\/strong><\/p>\n 8\/2: Jeff Kacmarynski (writer\/director, ESSENCE, Refractive Error Media, Champaign, IL) \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n MFHQ MEMO | From Well, that\u2019s<\/em> aggravating. Confirmed cases of COVID-19<\/strong> are rising in the immediate region where I\u2019m staying at Momkoke Manor<\/strong>. The numbers are enough of a concern that Illinois<\/strong> governor J.B. Pritzker <\/strong>made an appearance in nearby Ottawa<\/strong> on Thursday<\/a><\/span> to plead his case for local officials and authorities to plead their case to the citizens, lest restrictions be tightened up again in the very near future. I might be confined to MFHQ Remote<\/strong> even longer than I had anticipated. I also might not come to Champaign-Urbana<\/strong> any time soon because I don\u2019t have a place nearby to care for my parent<\/a><\/span>. What now? I\u2019ll just sit here and fiddle with content, I guess, such as making note of the 10th anniversary of the first Calendar<\/strong> on C-U Blogfidential<\/span><\/strong>. It appeared on Friday, July 30, 2010<\/strong>, buried in this short-lived column<\/a><\/span>. The first listings were just as sparse as they are today but for wildly different reasons.
