The Summer Sale & My Bucket List


Each summer for the past several years, I've offered a 'Summer Sale' worth 50% off all my DVD's. This yearly event has always been popular with my fans both new and old, giving folks a chance to pick up titles they don't already have at bargain prices, or check out some titles they've been on the fence about and haven't taken the 'leap' due to budget restrictions.

This year is a big exception, as I'm quite literally clearing out my warehouse of DVD inventory. As more and more friends prefer to buy my films in downloadable or streaming formats, I decided last year to turn over sales of my physical discs to my friends at Pulse Distribution. I stopped manufacturing and warehousing discs on my own and left that aspect of my business to Pulse who still supply the brick and mortar and online video stores with my films in this format.


For the last year, anyone who purchased DVD's from my store at MariesPlayPlace.com received them autographed by me, along with the assortment of goodies I've always included, like pre-paid VOD cards, samples of my favorite Lube from Wet and even my exclusive 'Play Safe' brand Condoms.

Well, a year later, I'm getting down to the end of what's left of my DVD inventory so this year, for the annual 'Summer Sale', I decided to get rid of what's left with a sale to end all sales. I'm offering my top 20 DVD titles for just $5.00 each.


Don't be mistaken, I'm not 'dumping' all my junk on you. (Although I'm well aware some of you might actually enjoy that). These are original, brand new silver pressed discs, although they are packaged in paper sleeves without the printed artwork and DVD long box. The packaging is provided to me separately. The inserts, and the boxes, and discs all arrive separately, and since it takes time and money to assemble these into 'retail ready' packaging, I'm skipping this step in order to offer you the lowest possible price on my best DVD's.

A few of these titles are 2 Disc Sets, including "Indiscretions" and "Smoke Junkies" that have been on my 'Best Seller' list since they were released.


So, I invite you to check out the selection, and if you are interested in picking any of these up, I can't stress enough to NOT WAIT. Once these titles are sold out, they will be removed from the sale page and no longer available, except where you can find them online at other retail stores. And some of these titles have already sold out at Pulse Distribution, so when they are gone... they will really be gone.

Shipping in the USA and CANADA is $3.95 for the first title, plus $2.00 each additional title with a MAXIMUM shipping charge of $9.95. So, you can pick up 4 titles for under $30 including shipping in the USA / Canada. Click here to get first pick of what I have left.

In other news...

Last week, I took a road trip to check off one of my 'Bucket List' items in seeing 90's Rockers Eve6 live.

You may not know the name, but if you are over the age of 30, you probably remember a few of their songs. "Inside Out", "Promise", "Here's To The Night" and "Think Twice" were all huge radio hits back when I was a '20-Something'.

So when I heard they put out a new record and were touring small venues, I took the trip to Cleveland, OH. to see them at the Peabody's Concert Club. The chance to see them play in a small venue, close to my hometown and have the opportunity to actually meet them was one I couldn't pass up.


Notice at the beginning of the video, Tony says "Maddy... right?". Imagine my surprise when after so many years listening to their music, they knew MY name.

And honestly, I've never met a group of nicer guys. They took the time to hang out with their fans before the show, talk a bit, take pictures and sign autographs and even let us sit in on a bit of their soundcheck.




And as for the concert itself... well, they were awesome. You just don't find this kind of musicianship in most bands these days. For just three guys, they put out a sound that was huge and played all my favorite songs from their new record plus all their hits. As a long time fan, I was NOT disappointed.


That's Mark and I with the band before the show. A great time, an amazing concert experience and one that I'll never forget. Thanks Eve6!

I know I haven't been updating my blog as often, but it's simply because I've had a lot going on. I'll be back soon with news on new projects, a new 'Big Summer Movie' and much more, so stay tuned.

Love,
Maddy
