We are running our proof-of-concept hybrid show this evening (Saturday, October 8) at 7 PM Eastern.

There will be remote voting, but (perhaps even more important) remote viewers will be helpful in testing our tech (etc).

The URL is [removed because the show is over, but thank you to those who came, who saw, who conq persevered] so please give generously if you can drop in, comment in the chat, vote in the poll, and let us know your opinions about the whole thing.

We intend to run CMP 4 in person, at 1800 Chem … and as a virtual event. We have the technology to run this show hybrid. There might even be some form of voting-via-your-phone in the in-person show (to keep the “killing ourselves running up and down those stairs” to an absolute minimum). In keeping with the shorter in-person runtime, we have a small handful of Sometimes Categories for CMP 4 that we plan on running 100% virtual, at a later date TBD.

As the UCON Primaries are our test bed, we intend to run this year’s UCON Primary (Saturday, October 8) as a hybrid show as well (with the consent of UCON, and pending good wireless connectivity from Eagle Crest, etc, etc). We will be testing the whole “hybrid CMP show” concept as well as perhaps also test-driving IRV (Instant Runoff Voting). In addition to the usual clip Primaries, there is a full-on 100% tie from CMP 3. We will be breaking that tie with the votes at UCON. There may also be additional surprises. It would be very helpful for us if people attended virtually, as well as in-person.

In the farther-out future, we look to expand to other in-person venues besides 1800 Chem. Chupa willing, and the cabra don’t rise.

Tonight’s the night! It’s a gala/extravaganza/kludge of a beast!

Cine Mal Practice 3 Part 3.

Show is at 7 PM Eastern Daylight Time with an immediate re-run at 9 PM.

Bring your friends! Bring your enemies and leave them! Bring your snacks and eat them!

[link deleted since the show is over]

On Saturday, August 27, at 7 PM Eastern (and again at 9 PM), there will come a Cine Mal Practice as has rarely been seen before. Cine Mal Practice 3 Part 3 will occur on this date, and the sky will be rent with … birds, probably. Maybe a butterfly or two if we’re lucky.

It’s time to put on makeup!
It’s time to light the lights!
No, wait — that’s the Muppet Show.

Our show (Cine Mal Practice) is running tonight (Saturday, June 25) at 7 PM EDT and again at 9 PM EDT.

[ EDITED TO REMOVE THE ZOOM LINK BECAUSE THE SHOW IS OVER ]

One vote per Zoom-connected device. BYO Bad Snacks. Be there, but if you are there with bells on, you will probably be muted.
