MFHQ & YOU:
\nAnother Fine Mess We\u2019ve Gotten Into?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spring cleaning usually takes place during the summer at the Secret MICRO-FILM Headquarters<\/strong> \u2013 let\u2019s call it \u201ckeeping Mr. JaPan<\/strong> time\u201d \u2013 such as right now, and it\u2019s become apparent lately that our snazzy confines feel stuffed to the gills with cinema madness even after <\/em>we restore order to the clutter. Yet, it\u2019s not the accumulated physical matter that bothers us so. (That said, our first-ever \u201cgarage sale\u201d might just transpire later this year because we need to make room, make room<\/em>, and collect some dough to help pay the printer\u2019s bill so stay tuned for the details!) We\u2019re always reviewing or exhuming said matter pertaining to the movies of Champaign, Urbana<\/strong>, and the cities beyond, attempting to make use of it on a constant basis even if we never have enough reasonable hours or man\/womanpower to do so regularly. Whether you believe it or not, dearest readers, mountains of original material could be generated from the molehills filled with videos, clippings, press materials, photographs, and so forth littering the MFHQ <\/strong>battlefield, and we\u2019re at the crossroads now (given what we discussed at the head of last week\u2019s CUBiz<\/strong><\/a>) where we seriously need to find out whether you, you, or even you <\/em>are interested in augmenting our output by sharing the load. Down for expanding the breadth and depth of coverage CUBlog <\/strong>provides for our communities and in honor of our movie artists, which happen to also be your friends and neighbors partaking in the incredible if not simply unusual? Hopefully, the more you hear from us on this issue, the more our readership will benefit as our void is filled with a cacophony of your voices belting out vital independent press for independent cinema. Make it happen, people, it\u2019ll be good for you. Onward:<\/p>\n
