Today marks 15 years since the launch of MildEquator.com, and we're pleased to have an update ready for our viewers! From all kinds of memorabilia, new YouTube additions, and loads of info updates, we have it all! We would like to give a very warmfelt thank you to all of our viewers and supporters over the years who have helped make this website everything that it is. We're proud to say we've been here for 15 years, and we're looking forward to many more!

And while we take this moment to acknowledge 15 years of our existence, 2025 also marks 60 years since the formation of The Doors. With many new releases on the horizon, we're excited to tell any of our viewers who may have missed the news about the latest installment from the world class Genesis Publications company, with their comprehensive new book - Night Divides The Day. Available soon in a deluxe edition as well as a mass market bookstore edition, be sure to order your copy today! Fans new and old of The Doors won't want to miss this one!

Thinking about 1965 and the formation of The Doors, we've felt inclined over the last few months to deliver an expansion to our Student Film Projects page, allowing us to create a memorabilia section which we intend to fill with more items from Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison's time at UCLA while attending film school! Head over to the Student Film Projects page and be sure to check out all of the lastest info and materials!

Speaking of expansions, our Feast Of Friends section has been given the same treatment, offering a categorical breakdown of information and materials for The Doors one and only self-produced film directed by Paul Ferrara! This expansion offers updated information, new film locations, and a section dedicated to the many screenings taking place all over the world from 1969-1970, including Australia, Scotland, and Canada!

As always, please see the latest memorabilia additions below, and be sure to check out our YouTube channel if you haven't yet! Once again, thank you to all of our viewers for giving us these last 15 years, and we hope that you have so far enjoyed all that you hear and see of The Doors here at MildEquator.com!

UCLA ALUMNI MAGAZINE - MARCH/APRIL 1965

In the March/April 1965 issue of UCLA Alumni Magazine, Bill Bolte publishes a lengthy article titled The Filmmakers, featuring photographs and commentary from students and faculty members of the UCLA Motion Picture Division. While Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison are not specifically mentioned or profiled, the head of the division, Ed Brokaw, is quoted and provides photographs for the feature. Cameraman for Ray Manzarek's 1964 film Evergreen John De Bella is quoted and pictured. John De Bella later joins the Feast Of Friends crew briefly in 1968 as an assistant and cameraman. A schedule of events is included on the back cover, showing upcoming dates for New Film Things, a student film screening event featuring Ray Manzarek's Evergreen.

JEFF SHERWOOD SPEAKS WITH LEON BARNARD

In mid-October 1969 following The Doors recent performance in Las Vegas, Jeff Sherwood of the Van Nuys Valley News speaks with press agent Leon Barnard over the phone. Jim Morrison and his virtues are the subject of the discussion, along with The Doors performances at the Aquarius Theater on July 21st, and other matters related to the band. While this published article from 1969 reveals Jim Morrison had attended performances by Little Richard and Fats Domino while in Las Vegas, a follow-up conversation with Leon by MildEquator.com reveals the duo had also attended a performance by Peggy Lee. No recordings of this phone call are known to exist.
