I smell like rotten eggs because I went to Wilbur Hot Springs yesterday. Other than that, it is gorgeous and wonderful! The drive up highway 16 through the Capay Valley right now with the insane bonkers wildflowers is a must see. Bucket list material. I had never seen any of those little towns before.
Did you know about this Hub dance party tonight? It sounds so fun! I might go, and if I do and I am dancing, I'm sure my rotten egg smell will intensify.
FRIDAY NIGHT DANCE PARTY!! w/ Hailey, Mike C. & the Flower Vato spinning wild grooves that make you move. Funk, Soul, 60's psych & hard r&b stompers etc. | The Hub-a Rub-a | 8:00, $4, all ages KDVS 90.3 FM presents... |
Movies on a big screen is showing two movies this Sunday. The Shatner one sounds good. Of course it's good, it's Shatner!
First up, at 4 PM:
Race to Nowhere
Admission: $12.00 ($10.00, students through 12th grade, with valid ID) - yes, this one's a bit pricey...
Director Vicki Abeles will be in attendance for a discussion and Q&A following the film.
Advance tickets can be purchased at http://www.rtnsacramento.eventbrite.com
Tickets will also be available for sale at the door (cash only).
Director Vicki Abeles turns the personal political, igniting a national conversation in her new documentary about the pressures faced by American schoolchildren and their teachers in our achievement obsessed public and private education system and culture. Featuring the heartbreaking stories of young people across the country who have been pushed to the brink, educators who are burned out and worried students aren't developing the skills they need, and parents who are trying to do what's best for their kids, "Race to Nowhere" points to the silent epidemic in our schools: cheating has become commonplace, students have become disengaged, stress-related illness, depression and burnout are rampant, and young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.
"Race to Nowhere" is a call to mobilize families, educators, and policy makers to challenge current assumptions on how to best prepare the youth of America to become healthy, bright, contributing and leading citizens.
And then at 7:30 PM
Separate $5.00 admission
The Intruder
This 1962 Roger Corman film deals with integration in the South, and was one of the few films at the time to do so. It stars William Shatner, in one of his best on-camera performances, as a racist provocateur who comes into town to stir up hatred just as the local high school is to be integrated. Written by noted Twilight Zone author Charles Beaumont and shot in the South, this low-budget indie production, as well as Shatner himself, received a number of threats from the KKK (along with much hostility from local authorities) and few theaters were willing to run it in its initial release because of the incendiary nature of it.
Please note that this film does contain use of racial epithets, which should be expected given the subject matter.
And next week, on April 18! The Man Who Would Be Polka King - a documentary on a corrupt polka empire?! Yep, that's what it is!

I still smell faintly of burnt rubber, ammonia AND rotten eggs. Three showers, lotion and perfume still haven't fully washed the smell away. It really was a gorgeous place though and very relaxing.

Four Eyes in Southside Park Sunday afternoon.

wilbur ruled! next time you gotta camp and in the morning take a loaner bike through their acres of awesome nature land. abandoned mines with bats inside and green hills as far as the eye can see.
uh my breath smells like that place. probably shouldn't have sipped the pool water yesterday.
Check out the Polka documentary....it's great...and you definitely don't need to be into polka...it's more a classic greek tragedy -- hubris and all -- set in the wacky world of Polka...and all crazily true...
