[Imc-houston-video] Report Back, and getting ready for the next screening

[roblock at riseup.net]

This looks great, the only modification I might make is to remove "DVD"
from the 3rd sentence of the last paragraph. I dont think the format
matters for mass consumtion. I'll forward this to the spanish list and see
if we can get it translated and hopefully sent to spanish language press
as well.

thanks Meg!
