An eBay auction for all you cinema fans... I may have mentioned the Moxie cinema and blog to you already, but here's the latest wacky thing to come out. Dan and Nicole are strapped for cash and have decided to sell the naming rights to the concession bar (the Cinebar), so if you have an eBay account and want to make yourself famous (at least with arthouse cinema-goers in the Springfield Missouri area) then put a bid in on their auction. Press Release Springfield, MO, April 6, 2005: Moxie Cinema, opening later this spring, is auctioning off the naming rights to the Concession Bar to the highest bidder on Ebay. The winning bidder will reserve the right to have the Concession Bar named after themselves or their corporation for the first year of operation. The auction lasts ten days, starting on April 7 and ending April 17, 2005. A link to the auction is available at http://www.moxiecinema.com. Due to unforeseen building costs, the owners of Moxie Cinema need to raise additional revenue before they are able to open. “It’s not a conventional way to raise money,” owner Dan Chilton says. “But then again, we’re not necessarily a conventional movie theater.” Located downtown at 408 West Walnut Street, Moxie Cinema’s mission is to create a unique and inviting venue for the exhibition of smaller, lesser-known films that have traditionally been unattainable in the Springfield market. By providing intriguing film series and offering a cinematic experience that differentiates itself from the typical multiplex affair, the Moxie will create a one-of-a-kind service that will benefit the downtown community along with the rest of the metropolitan area. For more information on the theater or the auction, please visit http://blog.moxiecinema.com. Dan and Nicole didn't quite reach the $10,000 mark, naming rights going for $1,001 in the end. Congratulations to steveo7577. So if we're ever in Springfield, we can enjoy a drink in the steveo7757 bar. |
