FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: “Select Scenes from the World’s Longest Yard Sale.” Three episodes in full color.

Shot, edited and directed by our buddy Jess Gibson. From our 2008 foray down the 127 corridor. Just for the hell of it. Our little web site said something like this: “Follow four assholes along Highway 127’s “World’s Longest Yard Sale” from Defiance, Ohio all the way down to Gadsden, Alabama.”

Featuring Evan Rose, Dale Allen Dixon and me. We made Jess take his movie camera. He dragged it along for four days, and we thank him for it. You know, just junkin’ for four days. Sun-up (sorta) to sun-down (really). Good times, hot deals, twang, weird looks, threats, treasures, money exchanged, etc.

We even built a little one=pager website for it: wlysmovie.com

FILMED, EDITED AND DIRECTED BY: Jess Gibson.
THE IDEA: Dale Allen Dixon.
MADE HIM DRAG THE CAMERA ALONG: Aaron James Draplin.
ALMOST GOT BEAT UP IN KENTUCKY: Evan Rose.
INSTANTANEOUS WEB CODING: J.P. DeVries.
GUIDANCE: Cameron Barrett.
FUNDING: We funded every bit of it.

We’d like to thank the good people of Highway 127, and the states the World’s Longest Yard Sale runs through: Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama. We’d even like to thank some of the cutthroat antique enterprises that descend upon Highway 127. If we didn’t like yer prices, we’d just snap photos of the shit. Take that.

Already scheming up a 2011 mission. Might even involve girls. Hard to say.

You guys should really make a show out of this… it’s way better than American Pickers!
