Doug was just commenting on a story about film festivals in this city not being able to get their shit together. He is just letting your readers know there is another film festival in the city that people should know about. He didn't crow-bar his 'thing' into an unrelated story. God forbid people who are into film festivals should be told about a sweet film festival. Especially one with free booze! I've read your rules and Doug wasn't over the line. Mark it an eight, Dude.

Many members of the staff will be returning, but not so much with the board. The staff - the people who actually put these events on - has been working tirelessly during all of this dickswinging. Just a minor, yet important correction.
