I'm at the birchfield-penney opening watching A Hotel Nourishing (look 'em up on myspace). not bad at all... the drummer mentioned this gig to me when he was working the wegmans checkout line. I have video but can't figure out proper mobile posting so you'll have to wait till I get home and post pix and vid.

what a neat dayAfter Drew and I tugged & lugged a 4'x2'x3' cabinet up to my 3rd floor apartment (thank you, Drew!!!), I went to his church, did a tiny bit of work (there's no one assigned to envelope 515!) and abused my printing privileges, then went to school and listened to Ralph Nader. His lecture was specifically for law students so I didn't invite y'all.(The room was way over its posted 89-person limit, so crowded I had to sit on the floor!)
His assistant, Matt Z., invited us all to an "after party" at the Ukrainian Cultural Center DNIPRO
and only three students took him up on it, so here's a picture of the "after party"
There was kielbasa, pirogi, the yummy cabbage & noodle stuff, pigs in a blanket (the proper cabbage kind), sauerkraut. (Sorry, no specific food pix.) In the middle of it, he got out a pen and a piece of paper and started scribbling. Then he handed to me and said I needed to read this book:
A view of the ballroom of the Ukrainian Cultural Center with my friend Alisha checking it out.
Like I hadn't already been wishing I had my camera, I went to the Mass Appeal fashion show (see (e:drew,46663)) and wanted it very badly... to take pictures of a very hot (e:janelle), then to take pix of some jaw-droppingly goregous dresses and cute butts and one guy with some fantastic abs. Oh my. It was fun. The two pix I took with the Centro-cam are just blurry.
And then (e:tinypliny) equated Rahm Emanuel with Chanakya too funny! As if my little mind needed more expanding today :-)
Tomorrow I'm going to the Women's Gifts art/craft show at Babeville. (School? I'm in school? huh.)

Heh, I had actually danced on that stage at some point. But that was a long time ago...
Some good memories, some not so good ones... Eh.

That is an amaZING day indeed. How cool you got to go to almost a personal foreign setting dinner with Nader, himself!
I KNOW! (e:janelle) and (e:drew) are an EXTREMELY sexy couple. :)
Since Nader recommended a book, I think I should as well. If you can get your hands on it, I think might find Chanakya's NitiShastra (Niti: Law/Guidelines Shastra: Treatise) very entertaining, honest, non-preachy, colourful and cool. I don't know whether English translations do a good job of the translation from Sanskrit, but its just awesome in its original form. Emanuel, in many ways, lives out Chanakya's writing. He is so "ancient-perfect-Indian" to me

The Forgotten City - moving showingCategory: movie
The UB Lawyers Guild is proud to present a screening of
THE FORGOTTEN CITY
Wednesday, November 19th
6 p.m
O'Brian 108, UB North Campus (by Flint Loop)
A discussion about race and poverty in the City of Buffalo to follow, lead by Carl Nightingale, Associated Professor of American Studies, and Jim Anderson, Chair of Citizen Action of WNY.
Pizza and pop will be served.
The Forgotten City is a soul stirring documentary taking place in Buffalo, New York, exploring race relations, segregation, crime, and politics.
This film is a personal journey of two young filmmakers who forged an unlikely partnership following a 2001 murder; one a friend of the victim and the other a friend of the murderer. Instead of waging war, they embarked on a documentary film project that would take them into the heart of Buffalo's most dispossessed communities and crime ridden streets. The result of their exploration is a documentary film with a raw, hard-hitting, and unblinking first-hand look at the way some live in America. This film brings to light the racial turmoil and economic hardships that have become the lifestyle of so many living in Buffalo's inner city.
The Forgotten City, however, is not simply a film about the problems that plague Buffalo's inner city; it can easily be the story of any American city and is a film that everyone should see.

I wish I could come and see this movie... I have heard a lot about it.
But it may have to wait. Life will have to wait. I have a thesis to defend. I have work to do. :( :(

It should work. Did you set your mobile code before sending? If so can you just send one of the emails to paul AT estrip.org so I can see the source of it.
I used the web/xhtml (e:strip) interface on my palm centro. I tried to use the pmobl messaging (txting) option a couple days ago but none of the messages I sent posted, with or without pix. (followed these instructions :::link:::)
I like the new Avatar I think it is called. Hope the opening was good. I did think about going I think there is some art there I might like, but don't be surprised if in two years time I have a comment on someone ones post about how I think it looks really cool from the outside but have never been inside.
Happy first mobile posting, what device are you using!
