OFF TOPIC: Special invitation to meet What the #$*! Do We Know? Producer in person!

[Guest guest]

Shakti, Orion, and I have been invited to meet the

Producer of this movie, which a few of us saw last

Friday night. This gracious invitation comes from

Laurie and Charles Finkelstein, who will let each of

us (that is, Shakti, Orion, and myself) bring four

guests, as the RSVP list is already long. So, let us

know if you want to participate by 8PM tonight, as the

hosts need advance knowledge of the names of those

attending.

 

Also, there was a Q & A session with two of the

filmmakers after the movie. They were there Friday

night, opening night in Seattle. I used my digital

recorder to capture what they said, then uploaded it

to the home page for this RawSeattle list site. See

RawSeattleWhat%20the%20%23%24%25%26%21%20Do\

%20We%20Know%3F%21/

for the sound files of this talk. After this next

meeting, I'll have more files that I'll then upload

again. :-)
