Film Notice: Northwest Asian-American Film Festival

Mighty Mel has forgotten her password, so I am posting this but it is from her:

Have you heard about the Northwest Asian American Film Festival this weekend? Amongst the plenthora of wonderful choices is a gem called Dick Ho: Asian Male Porn Star ...isn't that a great title? Not only have I already bought tickets to see it, I am hoping they have a t-shirt!

Event notice: Scotty Walsh Magic Show!

Here's some info from our good friend, Scotty Walsh:

I just wanted to send out a quick invitation out to you guys and let you know that I am doing a show on this Wednesday, January 18th in the Jewel Box Theatre which is located inside of a bar called the Rendezvous located on 2nd and Bell St. Rumor has it that this theatre used to be a 20th Century Fox screening house and at any rate it has a very prohibitiony feel to it.

The show will be one to remember, I imagine. It will be me doing some comedy/magic/juggling type stuff. Fellow Market Buskers Jake and Annie also known as Slim Pickenz will be doing their banjo, fiddle, guitar, cajun thing. Also the crazy and legendary Artis the Spoonman will be playing his spoons and, most likely, proselytizing.

The cover is only 5 dollars and all of the money will be going to the Feed the Hungry Street Performers During the Winter Fund (FSSPDWF). The show starts at 9pm and will go until about 11pm.

Also, since I will be leaving to spend a year in Cairo on the 20th [WTF?! - ed.], this show is also going to be my going away party so Step Right Up, this is an Extravaganza you're not going to want to miss!

Event notice: Firefly: discussion needed

Although many of us are all still recovering from the all-night New Year's Eve dogtacular, there are those amongst us already clamoring for another white-wall spectration marathon: to wit, the Firefly Every-episode Viewing Event and Remembrance (FEVER).

Some background:
The Serenity science-fiction movie that came out a few months ago was actually a coda to a short-lived Fox television series, Firefly. Twelve episodes aired between September 20 and December 20 in 2002; three other episodes were made but never aired.

FEVER will include a viewing of all fifteen episodes of Firefly in one sitting. Why? Um, cuz it sounds like fun? Anyway, IMDB says the episodes clock out at 40 minutes, so were looking at an even ten hours of viewing. (For comparision, LOTR is either 9.3 or 11.4 (extended versions) hours for three movies and Star Wars is 13.2 hours for six movies.)

Discusssion:
In early days, we decided it might be best to do this over a three-day weekend, so people's other-than-work stuff is impacted less. The next one up is January 14-15-16 (MLK holiday). It would be unseenly to do it on Monday, I think, so:

Question one: Is Saturday 1/14 or Sunday 1/15 the day for FEVER?

If we want ten hours of viewing (twelve if we want to watch the Serenity movie again), how do we want to schedule it? I think if we start at 10:00 am, we can get get it in without pulling another all-nighter, and even take breaks for, like, eating and stretching and breathing fresh air and stuff.

Question two: What should the viewing schedule be?

Have at it. When we get it decided, I'll send out another notice.
