Today I leave for a two and half week biking jaunt through the great Pacific Northwest, showing movies about Buffalo and the end of capitalism. Hooray! Be sure to check out the blog/ site for the tour, as we’ll be regularly updating it with stories, pics and videos from the road.
I will have limited access to e-mail so please bear with me; it may take a while to respond to any inquiries. Thanks and hope to catch you soon…

This past week I attended two emotionally charged events related to the city’s economic crises. On Thursday, the Regional Arts & Culture Council presented its “State of the Arts” report to a packed City Hall, making the case for renewed funding despite the city’s financial planning office recommendation that RACC funding be cut by 10% this year. On Friday, the following day, a rally was held in support of the Oregon Historical Society’s Research Library. OHS laid off 23% of their staff this past week, including all of their library staff, and closed their archives to the general public.
