'Gluttons for Punishment' world premiere

More details are in about the world premiere of the documentary "Tour de Donut: Gluttons for Punishment" As I've reported before, the debut will be Sunday, Sept. 3, at the Moolah Theatre, 3821 Lindell Blvd. in St. Louis. What's different from what was reported earlier is the time of the film: The doors open at 8:30 p.m., and the film will be screened at 9:30 p.m.

Admission for the movie is $5 (free for Gateway Cup participants) and includes pizza from Papa John's. Rumor also has it that doughnuts will be served, which would be appropriate for this particular film.

The film centers around Gateway Cup director Tim Ranek's attempt to win the 2005 Tour de Donut in Staunton, Ill. As a co-founder and past winner of the event (1995), I make three appearances in the film (four if you count a shot of me clipping into my pedals).

If you're in the St. Louis area on Labor Day weekend, I encourage you to stop by and watch the film. I recently showed the film to members of the Belleville Area Bicycling and Eating Society, and they found it entertaining with plenty of laughs.
