more pictures from today

I love to read both the Seattle Weekly and the Stranger. It hits town on Thursday. I'm surprised no one pointed this one out to me, but I'm glad I got to discover it myself on Sunday.

This is a teaser calendar: today and tomorrow. For the month of June. For the month of July.

For a closer view of any given poster, left Mouse-click the poster. Sometimes there are mouseovers, so if you're into that sort of thing just kind of sloooowleeee move your mouse pointer over the pictures. If you're interested in movie or Theater times their posters are (usually) hyperlinked to their respective schedules.

If your event is not on here I apologize. I do not always see every flyer and sometimes the pictures fuzz up and are illegible. I look preferentially upon flyer distribution at places which are not your store. I encourage mingling, or hiring a distro team. Hiring local artists to design eye catching posters and flyers is good.

If you find yourself inclined to bliss poetic about some just seen show please feel free to leave a comment (or have discussions) on that show's date. History is nothing without its people.

Hyperlocal relevance: Straight from the heart.

Guys, Germany lost in the EURO Soccer Championship.

My life is over, this is the end of it, will I ever be able to smile again??

I watched every game, every move by my favorite players, fought with them, anticipated, worried just short of crying.

Read every article, saw every goal. Compared teams and let my heart out.

But the truth is, the better team wins and so today, Germany lost and Spain won the Cup.

Now I surf the internet in search for answers and reconciliation.

There will be another sunrise, another reason to smile and love and live, right? 

And another tournament to give it all.

cheers,

Here is my first attempt at stumping ya all =)

"As reported by zoologist Maurice Burton, two hens of different breeds walked, ate, dustbathed, sunbathed, and slept together. One, Aggie, was elderly and nearly blind. The other (unnamed) was younger and could fend for two. During the day the younger hen would guide Aggie around the garden and place food before her, clucking an invitation to eat. At night she would lead Aggie back to their roost. When Aggie died, the younger hen stopped eating, "was dejected," and rapidly deteriorated. Within a week she, too, died.

Humans caricature chickens' interactions as negative and rigid "pecking orders." Our species' massive, needless violence toward chickens requires seeing them as unfeeling things, not individuals who can love and grieve. Whether or not she died from grief, the younger hen was Aggie's friend.

Affiliative behavior and other pseudoscientific terms that substituted for nonhuman friendship falsify. With such jargon, skeptics remain safely at the surface of nonhuman lives, whose depths they deny."
