Please direct your attention to the center ring


Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and children of all ages: here are the Upcoming Events:


1. A package purportedly containing my projector left Richmond, California today, bound for my door in the custody of uniformed representative of the federal government. Get ready for movies!

2. As mentioned previously (see prior post), Otis's brother is participating in an art show at his artists' studio building this Saturday, 10/14 from 4pm to 8 pm. Otis and I will be there sometime between 5 and 7.

3. Sunni-V passes on this promotion about N*W*C, a show at the Kirkland Performance Center on Friday, 11/4 and Saturday 11/5. We can get a discount (the price goes from $24 to $21.50) if we have 10 people going on the same night; let me know what works for you.
(Student tickets are $10.)

Lock your cars...
Watch your daughters...
Study your math...

N*W*C is in the house!

Blending theater, hip-hop, stand-up comedy, slam poetry, and true-life
stories with their own original style, three tour-de-force performers take
on one of the hottest issues around...race...in the premiere production from
LA's Speak Theater Arts: N*GGER WETB*CK CH*NK.

Relax...it's a comedy.

N*W*C draws startlingly funny and sharply moving conclusions about what
separates us as cultures, and yet, must ultimately bring us together as
people.

In N*W*C's words: "This show traces the origins and evolution of three
derogatory terms that shaped our lives and took the place of a full
understanding of our distinct cultures. Creating our own brand of theater,
we've used these stories to get us to a better place. We hope they get you
somewhere too."

"Oh yeah, and we hope you laugh your a** off!"
Here's the poster.

4. We still have one ($25) ticket available for the Says You Excursion on Saturday, November 12. This wacky wordplay radio quiz show is taping in Seattle at MOHAI, and we're gonna go be in the audience.

I hope someone takes that ticket off you soon and thus ends my "I want to go but caaaaaan't!"...thing. Gosh, where's a good German noun when you need one?

Anyway, three cheers for all the moving along accomplishments and upcoming events. Sounds like you're a happy camper there, Balter. :-) Rock on!
