You may recall that I reviewed Flock of Dodos last week—it's good, you should all see it if you can. The movie now has a distributor, so maybe you can. Unfortunately, this isn't a release for private use yet, so what you need to do is get an institution to fork over $345. Yeah, that's steep, but it includes public performance rights. Maybe you could convince your local university to get it for a Darwin Day showing…? Recoup the cost by selling tickets?

Thank you for this! I already have the emails flying. I emailed the producers and asked what it would take to get it presented at my university. $5000 plus expenses. There's just no freekin' way. However, I can raise $400 with one keyboard tied behind my back.
I'm trying to get the Research-Triangle-Area bloggers to join me in asking for this DVD to be purchased by a local library.

Off topic:
Does anyone know anything about Professor Alec Lindsay, a Biology professor at Northern Michigan University? He is presenting a 1 credit hour course on evolution vs. intelligent [sic] design. I was wondering if anybody happened to know anything about his work.
