art at the expense of blogging
i'm writing this from the projector tent of the Solar-Powered Film Festival where "Screen Door Jesus" is about halfway to completion. things have gone pretty well the past two weeks, though tonight's showing was sans popcorn due to some unforeseen circumstances. next week's showing is the Maysles "Grey Gardens" and the turnout should be pretty huge, so those planning to attend are advised to arrive a bit early for good seats. popcorn will be made.
those of you with ties to the music industry are invited to submit ideas for the Music Series coming up in September. we're going to try to do a rock show or two, so if you've got any bands that might be good and available, let me know - we're going to try to get the schedule set in the next few weeks. some $$$ is available to the performers, but not a ton, which is fine because we can't fit more than a few hundred people here anyway.

Is the popcorn popped via solar power as well?

it was not the first time we used it - it's a bit energy intensive. the sound system and the deck on which the movie plays are solar-powered. beyond that, it's too much of a drain on our system, especially at night.

How about a Leka reunion concert? Seriously, all three of you live in the same metropolitan area again.

don't think it hasn't come up. we could even have the big surprise where Derek unexpectedly walks onto the stage with a guitar for a tearful reunion where he apologizes to everyone for what a jerk he was.
