The Premier

The day of the premier was packed with events starting with an early morning interview at the TV station on AM Buffalo.

The afternoon was spend setting up for the film premier and the premier party at the famous Pearl Street Grill and Brewery. There was lots of good food and beer on tap. Dozens of Joe Izzo's family showed up in mass to celebrate. It was a long overdue reunion for producer Joe Izzo. Both his mother and father had been born and raised in Buffalo. He saw relatives that he hadn't seen since he was a child.

We had to compete with the Saber's play off game, but their interview from that morning on AM Buffalo was shown again on the evening news while we were in the bar complete with Chad on his ukulele.

The film was shown that night at an older theater in downtown Buffalo, complete with 2 life size Buffaloes in the lobby. Downtown Buffalo was very interesting mix of classic old brick architecture and the ultra modern as well as an eclectic mix of friendly folks.

It was truly awesome to finally see Uncle Lou on the big screen!
