clearing things up

I'm going to assume you're either on the Verge mailing list or its friend on Facebook, so you probably  know about the screening at the Crest on Thursday, which is part of the Verge's quarterly partnership with the Crest. But be honest, are you a little confused about what it is?  A little on the fence?  I had never heard of George Kuchar until he died recently, and then people in SF were tweeting about it and I was like who is this dude?  So maybe some of you haven't heard of him either?  If so, take a look at his recent obituary in the Times.  Sounds interesting, and like it will be up your alley if you are into John Waters, camp, or underground films.  So far, so good.  The showing at the Crest is a documentary about the filmmaker, rather than one of his films.  So this will be an intro to his films, most of which aren't available on Netflix (just Sins of the Fleshapoids).  

OK, so we've established that.  There will also be an intro by artist Christine Shields, who studied with Kuchar.  Check out this portrait, that's gotta be Devendra Banhart, right?  I'm sure I spelled that wrong.  Look at those doe eyes.  Remember freak folk?  I kinda miss it.  It's still kind of going on at my house.  Here are the nuts and bolt details about the showing:

Thursday, October 27 · 7:30pm
Location	Crest Theater 1013 K St Sacramento, California
