Hey all you Seattle people who loved Housekeeping and Gilead, Marilynne Robinson is giving a free public lecture at 7 pm on 8/15 at the Henry. Mark your calendars now!

xp thanx jaq. you are v sweet.

Marilynne Robinson is giving a free public lecture at 7 pm on 8/15 at the Henry

this whole series is pretty amazing. they're bringing in writers who have written about the northwest or used it as a setting. the writer comes into a UW class (that my stepdad's teaching, which is why I know about it) and then give a public lecture later in the afternoon or evening. Lx link?

Somehow I will stagger onward into my powder-less future. Thanks for trying!

the same guy who got his lube taken away by the TSA

we are totally going to In The Mood For Love

also c/d heckling minnie driver?

wtf is steam boy? (i know, imdb, but lingy u are so much more interesting than a database)

it's anime. i had never heard of it. had to look at imdb. it doesn't look interesting, but maybe someone has seen it and can tell me otherwise.

Dud.
But FAP at noon on a weekday? ClassiC! (--jill btw)

I feel a Friday off coming up. Haha, the higgs! - I thought you were gonna make us all guess when you jumped in here :)

btw, Monsoon Wedding - not yr typical bollywood (not enough musical numbers, only 2 hrs long), but quite fun.

lingbert u are my database. may i never overwrite u

hai guyz I have been trying to listen to Minnie Driver today and that is some Sarah McLachlan-esk stuff, over and over and over and over and over. The Chemical Brothers are routing it out of my brane now.

the heckling begins!

FREEWAY PARK FAP: minnie driver kills us all

btw i was joking about the minnie driver fap at first, but now that i think about it, it could actually be fun. i have to work that day though.

also, i think i'll probably go see jet li's fearless too

"joking"

I tried to convince Mr. Jaq with the "she's hawt!" argument, but he wasn't swayed.

maybe you could try:

"But Mr. Jaq, there will be heckling!"

Forgive my ignorance, but who is Minnie Driver? (Not that it matters, as I'll be in SF that weekend.)

Where to begin. She was in Grosse Point Blank and Good Will Hunting.

and where it will end we already know

I watch almost zero movies.

More outdoor movie fun: Havana is one of my favorit bars in town, mostly for the secretive entrance and nice dance floor. But now they're going to do movies outside, on Wednesdays, and you can drink out there too. The list (oh yeah now with added DJs):

Wednesday, July 25 — SCARFACE (1983) with Soul One

Wednesday, August 1 — DOGTOWN AND Z BOYS (2001) with Sean Cee

Wednesday, August 8 — XANADU (1980) with El Toro

Wednesday, August 15 — BLOWUP (1966) with DJs of the Emerald City Soul Club

Wednesday, August 22 — GOODFELLAS (1990) with Cherry Canoe and very special guests

BLOW UP is my pick of the bunch, if i don't see it at the Varsity next week.

och!--this is looking much better
can walk there, drink outside, not miss work to see mr. jaq-hated minnie driver AND ECSC on possibly/probably decent sound system

Free music/spoken word marathon tomorrow: http://gschapel.blogspot.com

i think i want to go to some of this. Free is important

Yeah, me too - Stewart Dempster, Amy Denio, and the group w/ Joshua Roman (23 y.o. principle cellist from the symphony - he has great hair) esp.

who is going to see daft punk

YEP :D

Jaq, we went to some of the festival of wayward music today. what a great room the chapel performance space is. we stayed for about an hour and soaked in the ambient and avant garde tones. you'll never guess who was there. A BUNCH OF OLD PEOPLE. it was kind of awesome, some guy messing with a Moog or hunched over a laptop and the blue hairs sat there and looked on. EXPANDING MINDS ONE AT A TIME. that was probably my favorite part. we saw one good guy though, Yann Novak, who played last year's Decibel Festival.

Hi guys!

Just a quick wave from me - there have been no noticeable breaks in the schedule here at the Clarion West bootcamp, but I thought I'd let you know about tomorrow night's reading at the SF museum. It's the last of the summer's CW readings as this is our last week (sob, wail). The reader this week is Samuel R. Delaney.

The readings are free and start at 7:30 p.m.
