natebloggyblog: We’re trying to win the Audience Choice Award!!!  Help us! Sweet Misery will have two screenings at the New York Television Festival!  They are Tues. Sept. 20th at 9pm and Wed. Sept. 21st at 6:00pm.  Both will be held at TriBeCa Cinemas at 54 Varick St. in NYC.  Tickets are free ($5 handling fee), but we are paired with two other pilots in the same 60 min block so time is a factor and they do sell out fast. Get your tickets here.  We hope to see you there for all the fun and festivities!  Drinks and hugs to whoever comes!! I cannot attend either of these screenings but I feel strongly that they should win the Audience Choice Award.  NYTVF screenings are always a blast filled with creativity and talent.  Very upcoming.  Very cool.  Very important to your lives.
