'CHASING OCTOBER: A fans crusade' is 'SUPER-SIZE ME' of the sports world!

Filmmaker and comedian, Matt Liston is giving Cub fans a reason to cheer in 2006! After 4 years, his film "Chasing October: A fan's crusade" is going to make its big screen debut at THE MUSIC BOX THEATRE in Wrigleyville, on August 31st, for charity.

Liston began his crusade to get the Cubs to the World Series, "by any means necessary," during the 2002-2005 seasons. With cameras rolling and bull-horn in hand, Liston gains all access to the team, gets the Cubs a player in a trade, and sits near Steve Bartman as the infamous play takes place.

Blending his experience from producing docs for Discovery Channel with working on such comedy hits as Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm, the Chicago native creates what he describes as a "docu-comedy." The film uses actual documentary footage with scripted scenes to create the 85 minute film.

Appearances ******* celebrities Bernie Mac, Gary Sinise, Joe Mantegna, Jeff Garlin, Larry King and more.

The film features songs by Chicago musicians Billy Corgan and Sunday Morning Chameleon. As well as the distinguished voice of Chicago news legend Bill Kurtis.

Liston and parts of his film will also be featured in HBO's upcoming Chicago Cubs doc premiering Sept 26th.

Liston is currently the voice of Discovery Channel's, "Everything You Need To Know" series seen Wednesday nights.

SCREENING: AUGUST 31st at the Music Box Theatre at 7:30PM

Admission ticket *******s screening and post party.

POST PARTY and SILENT AUCTION: Murphy’s Bleachers 10PM

neat

docu-comedy wtf? mockumentary or however you spell such a neologism.

They stopped being lovable losers a few years ago when bartman fucked shit up for them.

God, I loved the 2003 playoffs. Not as much as last years, though.

neat

Zap.

I wonder if these songs were written for the film or already existing

The cubs suck! and F everyone who sucks up to chicago just because billy is from there!

Thats what i'm talking about.

spoken like a true douchebag who has never gone to a game.

cubs games are a blast, and part of "social" chicago. sure, sox are a better team, and can say that because i'm fans of both and have strong connections to the south side....but even during the world series it was still a better overall time going to cubs games vs. sox games. if you like drunken craziness, that is. ;)

You do know that the cubs didn't play in the world series right? I know Cub fans like to dream, but thats just fucking being delusional.

As far as the rest of your stupid post, cubs games have been nothing but horrible the last 2 years. Only now with the nice crop of young kids they have, can they hope to have a decent team next year. Don't talk baseball because you know jack shit about it. Typical boring ass cub fan. Gimme a fucking beer, who cares if they win!! What a fucking joke.

no shit monkey boy....but what i'm saying is that any random cubs game was just as crazy as the sox world series games. fucking dumbass.

i can still have fun and enjoy a cubs game, even if they aren't #1 in their division. same with zwan and tfe...i can still enjoy them even if they aren't hugely successful.

are you really as stupid as you sound? i'm starting to think you truly don't get it.

I assume you went to a world series game?

Typical cub fan, I can't argue with you if you really think that cub games have been enjoyable the passed few months. The product on the field has been horrible. The Cubs have some of the highest ticket prices in baseball, scalp their own tickets, while having some of the rudest players in town, and they act like they're the fucking yankees. I go to about 5-7 Cub games a year to root against them, and its pisses me off that the "fans" are more interested in being at wrigley field that having a winning team. Thats fucking pathetic. Its basically a big bar. Yeah, you can have fun at cubs games, unless you're actually a cub fan, which we all know now, you are not. You're there to enjoy the party. You're a fake like the rest of them.

i think its safe to say the only dumbass in that argument is one who would say that a random cubs game even comes close to approaching the fun of a sox world series game. cubs games consist of a bunch of lame ass drunks, who dont give a shit about the game and just blindy follow their team of flunkies. granted i like a cubs game every now and again but comparing it to the steamroller that was the 05 sox? no way.

i know its off topic but whatever, i didnt start it!

hey, OF COURSE the 05 sox were better! they were the best in baseball (and still are, in my opinion). however...what I was trying to say is that it took them getting all the way to he world series (yes i went to a game) before the energy level and atmosphere came close to a cub game. i'm not talking about the quality of the players here...

mindless drunks? c'mon...its like going to a WWF or XFL game....they may be mindless drunks but they certainly contribute to the overall spirit of the crowd and the atmosphere of the ball park. just look at soccer.

You act like all cub games are non stop mayhem and excitement. Jesus, why do I waste time with you.

i often ask myself the same question.

but have you ever sat in the lower part of the mane pavilion....i.e. within the baselines and within the first 50 rows? or in the bleachers even? pretty broad ranges of mayhem and excitement i know, but that's the point. its a blast.

my last two games were actually rooftop parties on waveland. fucking cool, and comfortable....but i wished i was in the ballpark.

oh my god do you two live in the chicago area?

Where are you going with this julio?

i am not from chicago, been to 2 cubs games did not see anything exciting about them at all!
So lets take the cubs past 6 years. They had sosa STEROIDS!
they had the WS spot locked up, they blew it. Last world series early 1900
so you tell us whats exciting about cubs baseball. Wait wait billy sang that horrid take me out to the ball game and this board kisses his ass for that. Esty sees what i see a bunch of fags kissing everything billy touches or likes. When zwan played at that museum in chicago everyone is like HEY LETS GO TO THE MUSEUM NOW THEY ARE COOL AS FUCK!.

ESTY FOR NETPHORIAN PREZ!
