“Save Surge – The Movie” Trailer Now Online
The long anticipated DVD release of “Save Surge – The Movie” is now upon us and filmmaker Drew Bizzell has provided us with the trailer! This exclusive look at the movie can only be seen at SaveSURGE.org at the following address:
http://www.savesurge.org/surge/drew_movie.shtml
*The trailer is in Windows Media Format

This trailer is an outstanding preview showing Drew and his friends as they desperately search for SURGE – and all the while spreading the word about SaveSURGE.org! This is an absolute must-see for SURGE fans everywhere.

The documentary itself is 26 minutes in length and will also include deleted scenes and 2 trailers. Drew is currently in the process of creating the DVDs. They are available for just $5.00 each (shipping included). I’d like to note that Drew is not seeking to make money from this film. The $5.00 cost covers shipping and the cost of a blank DVD. You may pay by PayPal, check or money order. For more ordering information, please visit:

There are currently plans to send copies of “Save Surge – The Movie” to both Coca-Cola and Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE).

Also included in the movie is a trip to a local Coca-Cola bottler! You can catch a glimpse of the trip by checking out some great photos available at:

Thank you Drew for making our cause come to life on DVD!!!!

Will Spreads the Word at the Kentucky Art Car Weekend
SaveSURGE.org Hall of Famer Will spent August 6-7 at the Kentucky Art Car Weekend (www.kentuckyartcarweekend.com) showing off his famous SURGE Cab #22 and spreading the word about SaveSURGE.org.

Determined to make his cab stand out even further, Will had specially-made SURGE graphics created and he also made flyers to inform the crowd in Louisville about his favorite soda. A petition was also available and collected 60 signatures over the weekend.

Will said of his weekend, “I had a great time, and I think I was able to spread the word a little.”

He has kindly provided us with some photos and copies of his SURGE flyers which are available at:

Thank you Will for your great efforts!!!
