Midnight Madness with Colin Geddes

Last year, Midnight Madness programmer Colin Geddes announced his complete 2009 line-up via Twitter — before the official press release was posted.

Yesterday, Colin announced (via Twitter) that this year's program announcement might be delayed:

"Now bad news is the Midnight Madness press release might be delayed. Bummed, bc I am DYING to talk about my picks! Stay tuned!"

Today, he confirmed:

"Delayed. Bummed but its strategic..."
