Pacific Symphony Orchestra–Space
Another great show for the young kids–an amazing opening with Also Sprach Zarathustra! Actually, there was a 20 minute bank ad before this which was very Spinal Tap, but the music started strong–then muddied around in the plants for a little to long until ending super strong with Star Wars. It was a lot of…

Cole Nobody Knows
An absolutely amazing documentary about Freddy Cole–great jazz performances, lots of nice interviews, a seriously strong artistic biography. Sam and I thought that this was by far the best film of the four we saw & the film maker could clearly do more stunning work in this genre.

Fridays at the Farm

Art Seymour: Solo Performance

This is a great book with all sorts of great ideas & observations. I really enjoyed the short fast style of presenting idea, the notion that nothing is resolved, and the invitation for participation. Stewart Brand is clearly one of the all time great social architects.

Keep your mouth shut, guard your senses,and as long as you live your life will be good.But open…

St. Innocent of Irkutsk, Indication of the Way into the Kingdom of
Faith and love which are gifts of the Holy Spirit are such great and powerful means that a person who has them can easily, and with joy and consolation, go the way Jesus Christ went. Besides this, the Holy Spirit gives man the power to resist the delusions of the world so that although he…
