the trailer isn't very good, but the film has some really stunning & interesting cinemetography along with the story. i think a lot of americans could learn more about the value & impact of memories.

it's at the SIFF this month

Proud of our poets.

Wow. Danny Sherrard just emailed me and he's on his way to the WORLD CUP of Poetry in Paris. Danny came up through Youth Speaks, then Seattle Poetry Slam and he's been one of our favorite performers at The Round for the past couple years. Congrats Danny! go get em...

Fremont Abbey Arts Center blows up...

...with people! haha, got ya.

Wow, what a day. I'm currently sitting up in the Bell Tower since thankfully there are no drum lessons up here tonight. I've been relegated to the tower because every single other room is in use right now. It's really beautiful.

going to see the Dalai

i'm going to see the Dalai Lama speak tomorrow as part of the Seeds of Compassion conference. for some reason i'm nervous. it's not like i'm going to meet him or need to know what to say. maybe i'm feeling guilty about not being compassionate enough? i don't know. i guess i've probably never been in the same building as a major world leader.

this music from Bon Iver is helping me calm down though and i HIGHLY recommend you buy the album.

cheers,

A friend in need.

Help my friend Amanda's Dad get holistic cancer treatment that of course insurance will not cover. See auction items here (lots of good music).

Inspiring.

I just found this movie and it was very good. I highly recommend it.
