Dan & Nicole: Entrepreneurs of the Year

EXCERPT:  As some of you may know, last night Nicole and I were named Entrepreneurs of the Year by the Springfield Business Journal. It's a huge honor, and something we've yet to come to grips with. What does this mean for us, our future, and, most importantly, The Moxie? Only time will tell, I suppose, but in the meantime, winning this award has lit a fire under our collective butts, and we're ready to get things rolling again. We're half way through our lease (yes, we rent our building), which means it's high time to start negotiating and firming up ...

CHALK another one up

EXCERPT:  Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new Moxie record holder. After a two week run, CHALK has replaced AQUA TEEN HUNGER FORCE as our new #1 movie. The easiest way I've found to compare movies to each other is by tallying the Average People Per Show (APPS). Using this metric, I can compare a movie that only showed for one week against one that showed for five or more. After AQUA TEEN, we thought it would be quite a while before we had a new all-time leader, but less than a month later CHALK has proven us ...
