12:25 p.m. The 'When You're Strange' film opening in Louisiana on April 16 is not in New Orleans, as originally indicated. According to amended info from Jeff Jampol that is posted by Elaine on Tom DiCillo's blog at: http://www.tomdicillo.com/blog/?p=235#comments, the film opens on that date in Shreveport instead of New Orleans. The Shreveport theater is Robinson Film Center: http://www.robinsonfilmcenter.org/ and they are working on getting it into New Orleans, as well. (thanks, Elaine)

March 15, 2010 more WYS cities and theaters ID'd <> Ray & Robby to Dublin <> I-phone app
11:40 a.m. 'When You're Strange' IS opening in more than the original nine cities listed. According to info posted by Doors manager & WYS producer Jeff Jampol, here is the latest roster for April 9. There are two other cities that open slightly later. New York City: Angelika http://angelikafilmcenter.com/ ~ Los Angeles area (3 theaters): Laemmle Sunset 5, Hollywood; Laemmle Playhouse 7, Pasadena; Laemmle Town Center, Encino http://www.laemmle.com/locations.php ~ Boston: Somerville Theater, Somerville http://www.somervilletheatreonline.com/somerville/index.php ~ Philadelphia: PUFF Theater w/outdoor screening at The Piazza at Schmidt's ~ New Jersey (greater Philly area): Ritz 16, Voorhees, NJ http://www.fandango.com/showcaseattheritzcenter_aadky/theaterpage ~ Atlanta: Cinefest Film Theatre http://www2.gsu.edu/~wwwcft/ ~ Athens, GA: Cine http://www.athenscine.com/intro.php ~ Chicago: Davis Theater http://www.davistheater.com/ ~ Dallas: Angelika http://angelikafilmcenter.com/ ~ Seattle: Grand Illusion Cinema http://www.grandillusioncinema.org/ ~ San Francisco: Kabuki http://www.sundancecinemas.com/kabuki.html ~ Nashville: Belcourt Theater http://www.belcourt.org/ ~ Madison, WI: Sundance http://www.sundancecinemas.com/kabuki.html. I believe Houston is one of the opening cities, but do not have that theater listing at this time. The film opens on April 16 in New Orleans at the Robinson Film Theater (subject to correction), and in Albuquerque, NM in May at the Guild http://www.guildcinema.com/. I encourage Doors fans everywhere to get out to see the film (at least once!) on opening weekend. Those first weekend results are very important for determining wider distribution. (thanks, DJ & EB)

6:45 p.m. Manzarek-Krieger have added Dublin, Ireland on Saturday, July 17 to their upcoming European tour. This show will find them at the brand new Grand Canal Theater, which opens this month. They will be accompanied by the Lombard Philharmonic Orchestra along with their usual band mates.

As far as I know, this show has not been officially announced by tour management, and should be considered 'unconfirmed.'

March 12, 2010 WYS in 4 weeks <> 'The rest of the story...'
'When You're Strange' gets released to theaters in selected cities four weeks from today. There is lots of buzz, lots of press, lots of momentum. It's getting very exciting!!

On Tuesday I linked to a story about a radio personality in Arkansas who had put the kibosh on a Jim Morrison impersonator who was making the media rounds. Mitch McCracken has written a follow-up called 'The rest of the story...' Read that at: http://www.thesuntimes.com/opinions/columnists/x1526461568/The-rest-of-the-story
