Otis is showing a piece in this juried art show being held in connection with the Puget Sound Bird Fest in Edmonds. This is her first juried show and she hopes it will be the start of the next phase of the art thread of her creative career. There is a gallery and an art walk and all that associated with the fest, but Otis will be attending the official Artists' Reception, which might be a good time to go if you're interested. (There's also a bird photography presentation at the same time.)

Stella highly recommends this 1968 film about social issues in the Irish Republic. A politically powerful film in its time - it was actually banned in Ireland - the documentary uses the aesthetic of French New Wave cinema to tell its story.

On the subjects of things Irish, does anyone want to see The Wind that Shakes the Barley?

And what about Spider-Man 3? Are we going to bother seeing it, or will we wait for the really important super-hero movie this summer: Fantastic Four: The Rise of the Silver Surfer?
