Summer of 1,000 Happy Funs

BULLETIN BOARD Second Annual Abandoned Fields Adventure Race on Sun. June 10

Registration is now open for the second annual Abandoned Fields Adventure Race and Festival, taking place Sunday, June 10 at Tom Brown Park. Building on the success of last year’s event, organizers have included course upgrades, expanded Base Camp activities and improved obstacles and challenges. Abandoned Fields combines the challenges of running, biking and paddling, sending teams through the three legs of the course with a compass and map to find checkpoints. At each checkpoint, racers face a physical or mental challenge before they can advance. The race is designed for people of all ages and experience levels. Throughout the event on Sunday, “Base Camp”, located in Tom Brown Park at Pavilion 13, will boast live music, fitness challenges, exhibitors and food vendors. Racers and spectators are invited. Race participants will receive a runner’s bag along with an event shirt, finisher’s medal and promotional materials from sponsors and partners. Prizes will be drawn during the event, and awards will be given out to the top finishing teams in each division: amateur, elite and corporate. Abandoned Fields is also partnering with The Children’s Burn Camp of North Florida (Camp Amigo), a summer camp for adolescent burn survivors aged 6 to 18. Race registration is $70, but space is limited and the 2011 event sold out. Base Camp activities are free to the public. Participants must be at least 12 years old on race day, and anyone under 18 will need to have a parent or guardian present at check-in to sign the waiver form. Visit AbandonedFields.com to register and for more information.

Rally To Restore Amtrak Passenger Service

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina damaged the tracks of what was the only true Transcontinental Passenger Railroad Route in American History, the Amtrak Sunset Limited. Due to its contribution and importance to the tourism industry, many had hoped this route would have been promptly restored, but it is currently being used only for freight travel. The route has been “suspended” for passenger travel since the storm, leaving 13 stranded train stations from New Orleans to Jacksonville, FL, and no other railway to get between Jacksonville and New Orleans without traveling through North Carolina. In response to the suspension, railway passenger Bart Bibler -- along with the City of Tallahassee, the National Association of Rail Passengers (NARP), and the Florida Coalition of Rail Passengers (FCRP) -- has made efforts to address the problem. A press conference was held this past February, along with an email, Facebook, and web campaign, and the city has spent millions to restore Tallahassee’s Historic Amtrak Train Station. Now, the efforts continue. A Rally for Restoration of the Amtrak Sunset Limited Service will be held on June 23. The “Bring Bak[sic] Amtrak” rally will begin at 11am at the Historic Amtrak Station, featuring congressional members, local government officials, and Florida State and Florida A&M students. The rally will then continue at the Railroad Square Art Park where at-

Gaines Street Opens TwoWay East of Railroad Ave

On June 5, Gaines Street construction entered what the City of Tallahassee is calling “Phase 2 of Segment 2” of its construction project. Due to the successful completion of “Phase 1 of Segment 2”, two-way traffic will finally reopen east of Railroad Avenue towards the Downtown area.

However, Gaines Street will remain a one-way westbound street between Railroad Avenue and Woodward Avenue – towards FSU; all eastbound traffic will continue to use N. Woodward Avenue to W. St Augustine Street as a detour, while crews are working to install new storm drains and electric and communication ducts. In addition, all of the old roadway, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks will be cleared to allow for improvements including repaving and reconstructing, as well as the addition of seating walls, new light posts, and more. Drivers may experience -- and are urged to expect -- traffic delays throughout the duration of construction. All affected businesses on Gaines Street will remain accessible, as is possible. For more information about the Gaines Street construction project visit Talgov.com/Gaines, like Gaines Street on Facebook, or follow @GainesStreet on Twitter.

Support Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Patient and Hear Tallahassee Musicians

On Sunday June 24, a fundraiser will be held in support of Randy Harrison who is suffering from Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. The fundraiser will take place at the American Legion Hall at Lake Ella from 2-6pm and will include live music from local Tallahassee musicians and a silent art auction. Those interested in donating snacks, or a piece of artwork for the silent auction, may bring it to the American Legion on June 24 between 10am and 12pm. All unsold items may be picked up at 6pm. For more information, call 850-6978777.

The Impact of Art in a Free Society By A. Charles Hazelip, Ph.D. As an artist and art instructor I often consider the reasons for doing what I do and why I suggest to others to do the same. After all, what is the purpose of art? What good does it do? I have come to the personal belief that there is a capability in all humans to do art. I also believe that the inherent capability is suppressed by those who reject art for fear of failure. Doing art in any medium carries with it the risk of being criticized by anyone viewing it on public or private display. I have often heard from people asked about their interest in art that they “can’t draw a straight line.” To me this is a good starting point to encourage them to give art a try, since drawing a straight line is hardly ever important in creating a piece of visual art. When persons unschooled in art decide to try it and drop their misgivings about “being good,” they find an array of “good vibes” emerging in their lives. So an impact of art at the individual level is the personal satisfaction derived from giving the process a chance. This, coupled with the old axiom that practice makes perfect, almost invariably results in improved artwork. On a larger scale history has shown that art, in all forms, has the ability to create new connections, catalyze movements and break down barriers that divide we humans.1 The arts can inspire change in societies as well as within the individual human spirit. If this is true then art is an influence for good. But, the question then becomes, why aren’t the arts encouraged more?2 There are probably several answers. In one sense artistic expression challenges the status quo, threatening prevailing power dynamics by portraying the effects of policies as they affect society. Examples from history are many: The Mexican muralist Diego Rivera brought the Mexican people face to face with the oppressive practices of their gov-

ernment. 3 Pablo Picasso laid bare the brutality of war in his painting “Guernica,” done in response to the bombing of Guernica, Basque Country by German and Italian warplanes.4 English artist J. M. W. Turner brought the immoral continuance of the British slave industry into the halls of Parliament by his 1840 painting of a sinking slave ship resulting in the drowning of its cargo of humans bound for slavery.5 One of the best examples of arts being a thorn in the side of political power is the interaction of politics and art in Germany in the years between 1930 and 1945. In 1933 Berlin was challenging Paris as the “capital of the art world.”6 Germany at that time was governed under the Weimar Republic, a democracy. The nation’s art community had greatly broadened its acceptance of many forms of art. German artists began following the lead of the impressionists and Postimpressionists and drew away from realistic-style painting. Expressionists distorted forms to express inner feelings, Cubists turned to geometry for expression, and Dadaists mocked everything with their fantastic abstracts.7 Prominent artists such as Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Max Beckmann and even the foreign artist Pablo Picasso were drawn to the German art scene of 1933.8 However, socially and economically Germany was in chaos, in part due to the Treaty of Versailles that brought the nation to its knees after its defeat in World War I. Also, the entire world was struggling into and through the Great Depression. The strongest voice amidst the turmoil in German society eventually became the Nazi party and its leader, Adolph Hitler. Very quickly the right-wing party attacked avantgarde, modern art as an insult to German values. The artists who produced the art were debased as mentally ill. Teachers of modern art were fired from their positions and thousands of modern artworks were burned.9 There is

Painting by fifth grader Evelyn Nigon. much more to the story of the suppression of art in Nazi Germany. For the purpose of this writing the foregoing example of political suppression of artistic expression in a closed society is sufficient. In current times the suppression of art in America, a free society, is not so overt. Now it takes the form of reduced funding and the elimination of art as a valuable endeavor from public school curricula. There remains an undercurrent of devaluation of art by the “controllers” establishing policies for state school systems. To some observers today’s schools are designed to create good workers (in specific fields) rather than balanced whole-systems thinkers, in touch with their creative selves.10 By not recognizing the societal benefits gained from valued art policies, societies at every level lose the healing aspects of art. Examples of such benefits are the works of organizations such as The Barefoot Artists and the City Repair Project (of Portland), which use the arts to help restore traumatized, poor communities by converting blighted areas to colorful places for people to come together.11 In addition to the heal-

ing benefits of art, another contribution is the capacity of art to unite people, to give voice to feelings that are shared in situations where rational interaction seems ineffective. In the America of today there seems to be an attitude among political leaders that just about every issue they choose to address is more important than anything related to the arts. To be sure, there are issues of major consequence facing our country, but why give no thought to the benefits of productive arts policies that, with proper funding, can in some ways give even hard-times elements of healing, improved civil communications and unity among the American people?

Daytrippin’

An Improbable Gift in Apalachicola By Jennifer Wells Of all the tales travelers tell upon returning home, possibly none are told with as much exuberance and wistfulness as stories of serendipity. Missed busses, wrong turns, the café that was ducked into instead of another — these are the beginnings of unplanned adventures, of quiet discoveries, of conversations with strangers you will recall for years to come. This is one of those. With the money I had saved by going on frugal day trips to my local pool/ oyster bar, to Sopchoppy and on my Big Bend Safari, I was ready to splurge a little and get out of town for two nights. Since moving here ten months ago, I had been to St. George Island and Apalachicola several times for day trips. Most overnight rentals on St. George Island are affordable if you and 15 of your closest friends rent for a week; however, for two nights with just myself and my dog, the apartment I found through VRBO. com, located above Apalachicola’s Dixie Theatre, was a better fit. On my first afternoon in town, I walked to Petunia Pet, where I kicked off the vacation by buying my dog a cookie shaped and decorated like a crab (all profits from Petunia Pet go to support the Dixie Theatre). I wandered around the corner to Downtown Books and Purl, a small bookstore/yarn shop with an eclectic but well-curated collection of both national bestsellers and works by local authors, like Tallahassee’s own Diane Roberts. Since Apalachicola is considered one of the oyster capitals of the world, I chose Sex, Death and Oysters: A HalfShell Lover’s World Tour, written by food critic Robb Walsh, who had traveled around the world, including Apalachicola, to sample oysters. From there, I made a quick choice between going to Verandas, a wine bar

with a view, or the Owl Café Tap Room, which opened last December. There are few things as perfect in life as an afternoon spent in the sun with a new book and a glass of wine, so when I saw an empty table in front of the Tap Room, my decision was made. After tasting a glass of the crisp rosé poured by the friendly bartender, I settled in. What transpired over the next six hours is hard to compress into an 800word article, but the important facts are these: Because I was sitting and reading alone for a few hours, an adjacent table of two women invited me to join them. One was going to be out of town for the next two weeks, and invited me to housesit while she was gone. Now, this is the sort of thing that does not normally happen; people don’t offer you their house after having just met you. After what seemed like an hour protesting, “No — that’s sweet, but I couldn’t …” my new friend said, “It’s done. You will stay at my house.” And for the next two weeks, I did. While 14 days is not enough time to become a true local, it did afford me luxurious hours to spend photographing the old boat on the corner of Water Street and Chestnut Street in both

/ CapitalCityVillager/ June 8, 2012/ vol. 1 iss. 8/ BUY LOCAL!

morning and afternoon light; to sit on a bench in the grassy area on the bay side of Water Street and watch pelicans dive bomb just because; to meet up with friends for fresh-squeezed orange juice and lemon pancakes at Caroline’s River Dining in the morning or oysters and buttermilk pie at Hole in the Wall in the evening; to take a stand-up paddle boarding lesson ($50) through Journeys of St. George Island and be visited by a pod of dolphins; to ride my bike along the golf cart path on St. George and practice my open water swimming along the sandbar in the Gulf; and to experience local nightlife at the Roseate Spoonbill Lounge’s Friday night karaoke, where Mr. and Mrs. Hole-in-theWall sang and danced and, had it been prom, would have been elected King and Queen.

The moral of the story is that traveling, especially traveling solo, can get you to be in the right place at the right time and, most essentially, to be open to trying out the new wine bar or joining a table of strangers or even accepting an improbable gift. You have nothing to do with it except to be present — to be open to serendipity.

By Jennifer Wells The mythical summer road trip: the pavement undulates ahead, the anthems reverberate, the possibilities multiply with every mile. The real summer road trip: the car breaks down, the hours are spent stuck in traffic, the constant refilling of the gas tank rapidly depletes the trip budget. There has to be another way. Paul Haney, recent graduate of FSU’s M.A. in English Literature program, former Capital City Villager intern and, in the spirit of full disclosure, a tutor in the program I direct, is about to find out. With a 45-day Amtrak rail-pass in hand, Haney is about to spend the summer exploring America the way people did a century ago: by train. While he has been on a number of road trips, Haney laments the stress that usually accompanies them. Not only does taking the train remove that stress, it offers travelers a different view. ‘’Trains don’t go on those heavily traveled routes that have become commercialized,” Haney explains. Like Simon and Garfunkel 45 years before him, Haney is going to look for America. This isn’t simply a vacation. “I wanted to embark on a large travel writing project that speaks not only to my own

background and observations but pulls in everyone else’s. I’ll be working, writing, photographing, and uploading to the website Haneyonthetrain.com.” Haney is including others in this project by crowdfunding many of his expenses. Via Indiegogo.com (like Kickstarter.com but for funding life projects instead of commercial products), Haney set a target goal of $2500 to help defray the costs of the rail pass (almost $900), hostels, and local transit. With three weeks to go, he has raised half of what he needs. For a $15 donation, supporters will receive a postcard. Haney will also photograph and upload that postcard to his website, so the private piece of mail becomes a public artifact of his trip. The largest donation, $500, gives the patron the option to choose an adventure for Paul, like having him dress up in a colonial costume and recreate the Boston tea party. If the open road stands for autonomy, what does the closed train track stand for? In this time of declining newspaper budgets, is crowdfunding the future of travel writing? How will these things uniquely shape Haney’s perceptions of America? Follow Haneyonthetrain.com to find out.

CDC: Prepare for a Zombie Apocalypse (And Hurricanes)

By Julia Welling

n its website -- and through posters and a graphic novella -- the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, GA is advising all Americans to prepare for a zombie apocalypse. Yes, we are serious. And the CDC is half serious.

It turns out that everything you would need to survive a zombie invasion -sans shovel, axe or shotgun -- is also exactly what you would need to survive any other major disaster, according to CDC Director Dr. Ali Khan. “If you are generally

/ CapitalCityVillager/ June 8, 2012/ vol. 1 iss. 8/ BUY LOCAL!

well equipped to deal with a zombie apocalypse you will be prepared for a hurricane, pandemic, earthquake, or terrorist attack,” he says on the CDC “zombie blog.” (Hurricane season officially began on June 1, wink.) And to help get the message through (presumably to younger population segments or adult comic book fans), the CDC is stepping outside of its traditional role of stodgy public educator and into the realm of clever social marketer. (The campaign has been progressing since last year, but we couldn’t have discovered it at a better time: hurricane season has just begun, we needed cover artwork, and apparently spontaneous cannibalism is the hot new fad.) The novella -- titled “Preparedness 101: Zombie Pandemic” -- takes readers along on a journey with loving couple Todd and Julie (and their dog Max) as they prepare for a zombie invasion. Canned food? Check. Water? Check. Flashlights, radio, batteries, first aid kit? Check, check, check. Todd wants to watch TV before the list is done. Then, of course, it happens. Throngs of white people attend a Korn concert, ingest “bath salts”, and start craving human flesh. (We might be reading into the story line a little bit.) Todd and Julie, though -- holed up in their considerably large house -- are not adequately prepared and quickly run out of food and supplies. They are forced, panic-stricken, into the streets in a mad dash for the refugee shelter established by the government at a local school. Before the ordeal is over, zombies over-run the barricade and National Guard soldiers, break into the school like ants at a picnic, and eat the protagonists. But luckily, it turns out, Todd has been dreaming the whole time, and he wakes up rejuvinated and ready to knock out that preparedness list.

It’s cute. But more interesting are some of the subtler details. Traditionally, zombies and their attacks conjure up images of terrible creatures, violence and gore. This story, however, downplays these characteristics (it is a goverment publication, after all) and focuses instead on the abstract cautionary tale. Other less wholesome aspects of a possible zombie resistance movement are treated gingerly through what could be classified as pseudo-propaganda. In one cell of the novella, as zombies break a barricade and rush National Guard soldiers, one soldier yells over his shoulder -- while poking a ravenous zombie away with the barrel of his rifle -- “We can't just shoot them. These are our fellow citizens!” Right. The zombies then advance on the school after “overpowering” the soldiers (with no mention of brain eating or mutilation) and break into the auditorium where “people are chatting happily with their families” ... because end-of-the-species refugee situations are always fun. Boggle, anyone?! There is an educational component as well: The novella has a full chapter

In terms of clever public service messages, we think this one ranks pretty high -- remembering all of the horrible McGruff the Crime Dog coloring books we took home in Grade School. The novella and educational posters can be viewed, downloaded and ordered online at CDC.gov.

SIDEWAYS FACTS

in the middle depicting the CDC's actual response in the case of a viral pandemic, including the speedy discovery of a vaccine and its rapid production at the Strategic National Stockpile. (In this incident, the zombie virus “appears to be a highly mutated form of the flu.”) But those are things you would expect in a government publication. And on the back cover, the reader has a handy and comprehensive emergency preparedness checklist at their disposal. In terms of clever public service messages, we think this one ranks pretty high -- remembering all of the horrible McGruff the Crime Dog coloring books we took home in grade school. And extra credit points because its the CDC -- it’s not easy to make death, disease and disaster interesting, much less entertaining. (And we have spoken with one local therapist who was interested in obtaining a Zombie poster for her office wall -not to encourage her patients to stockpile Pop Tarts, mind you, but to help them keep perspective on how bad the troubles in their lives really are.) We give this campaign two crooked, gangrenous thumbs up!

By A. Charles Hazelip, Ph.D. An airport is a place to watch and hear characters. Some are low-life, like the fortyish Lothario who had just phoned his wife then tried to pick-up the young, dark haired beauty sitting four seats away. Soon he had her smiling and twitching like a fish in a net. Other characters are amazing, like the attractive woman on a nearby bench intently texting messages at the speed of light. I have never seen two thumbs moving with such speed and accuracy for over at least fifteen minutes. The plane ride from Philadelphia to Atlanta proved even more interesting. Seated behind my wife and I were two normal looking young men, and a third occupied the window seat in our row. I arbitrarily chose to discreetly dub them “Red” -- the red-haired lad in our row -- and “Big Ears” and “Mellow-man” in the row behind us. The third person in the row with Big-Ears and Mellow-Man was a middle age business man. During the flight my wife unobtrusively pointed out to me the address on a manila envelope in the lap of Red. It was addressed to the young man from the Army Induction Center at Fort Benning, Georgia. Red, Big-Ears and Mellow-Man were being inducted in the US Army. Having been in the same situation myself many years ago I felt a kindred spirit. So, I began listening. The business man asked Big-Ears and Mellow-Man a basic question, “Why did you join up?” Big-Ears answered quickly, saying, “I joined up to get a brand new, tricked out hog of a truck. I can see it in my dreams.” After a moment Mellow Man replied, “I am just looking for something to do.” Red did not respond, he sat

stoically studying the farm fields and terrain gradually getting nearer as the plane descended. Big-Ears, however, was not through, he voiced an issue that obviously was on his mind. He said, “Somebody is going to get in our face and tell us what to do all the time. They can’t scare me, though, I have sky-dived.” Mellow-man, slightly nervous, said, “I hope it isn’t too bad,” As the jet made its final approach, Big-Ears declared uneasily, “I don’t trust people landing airplanes; I would rather jump out of them.” At this Red turned to face him and said, simply and directly, “This is what we signed up for.” Obviously a man of few words he turned and sat in his seat. Soon the landing gear bumped down and we were in Atlanta. After disembarking we went our different ways, the three inductees to their connecting flight to Fort Benning, and to future adventures in the Army. During the lay-over before our flight to Tallahassee I reflected on the conversation among the three young men. I realized that none of them said they joined the service to defend our country and freedom. I reflected on my reasons for joining many years before. I do not recall joining for those purposes either. I was more like Mellow-Man, just looking for something to do. I spent the next twenty-two years of my army career being told that I was defending our country and freedom. After my tour in Vietnam I had serious questions about how I was defending my country over there. My second inclination regarding the three young men on the plane was to pray for them, that they would live through their military adventure.

We are only one force for progress in Tallahassee, but we are proud to be the force that advocates...

Food, Food, Everywhere...

Some things just line up perfectly. As

our team was outlining the plan for our

upcoming, summer-long series about local food -- chronicling the many steps and

people involved with the local farm-to-

table movement -- this dandy of an internet meme fell into our Facebook laps. And we thought it said perfectly everything

we were struggling to describe about the

value of local food in the community -- economically, nutritionally, and mentally.

Stay metaphorically tuned to Villager in

the coming months as we delve into Lo-

cal Food, and if you are involved with the movement on any level, send us an email (Tallahassy@Gmail.com) about your neck of the garden.

Long Live “Return of the Living Dead” By The Primal Root The Return of the Living Dead (1985): More Brains or Why It Hurts to Be Dead Speaking of dark visions of American culture, let's take a look at what I consider to be one of the greatest living-dead films ever produced -- Dan O'Bannon's 1985 horrific masterpiece The Return of the Living Dead. Unlike your typical horror film, Return features a cast made up primarily of 80's goth punk kids who are obsessed with the lifestyle of sex, death, and total nihilism. In fact, one character speaks a rare horror movie soliloquy bemoaning how no one understands him. "What, do you think this is a fucking costume? This is a way of life!", he explains to whoever will listen. A chain runs from

Return of the Living Dead is blessed with a kind of kinetic energy and pace that borders on the hysterical. Also, helping to maintain this vitality is the incredible punk soundtrack playing over much of the movie's key action sequences and montages.

his nostril to his ear, a giant X is shaved into his head as he stands stoically in a cemetery littered with garbage. Meanwhile, a totally nude, Manic Panic red-headed punk girl by the name of Trash (played by genre legend Linnea Quigley) rubs his stiff and humps his leg. Oh, yeah, it's that kind of movie. The kind of movie that works perfectly as a sort of accumulation of 80's issues and ideas, shining a spotlight on a generation who grew up with the Cold War and living in fear of a nuclear strike. Teenagers who don't trust authority or government, and have totally given up on the system that seems to have abandoned them. The kids featured in Return embrace their standing as outcasts, and in a way almost worship the urban blight they are a part of in Reagan's America. Hell, when the gang comes across Uneeda Medical Supplies’ dreary, worn down facade, Trash notes "I like it. It's a statement." And on that same dime, sex and death are constantly intermingled and romanticized. The character of Trash, while sitting spread eagle on top of someone's final resting place, begins waxing philosophical about her fantasies of dying and the worst ways to go about it. All this before she does an erotic striptease accompanied by some 80's pop music, illuminated by road flares ... ending up shaking her goods in nothing but leg warmers, with a "Go fuck yourself" smile plastered on her face. It's one Hell of a statement, and the dead haven't even begun to rise from their grave yet! Once the dead make their debut, however -- and our teenagers find themselves under siege by an army of intelligent, running, brain munchers

-- all romanticizing goes right out the window. It all begins over at Uneeda Medical Supply when a canister -- that was misshipped by the U.S. Government ("Typical Army Fuck Up") and contains an experimental chemical, 2-4-5- Troxin, and a previously reanimated corpse -- bursts open spilling its contents all through the building. This brings one of the stored medical cadavers back to life, and knocks both Frank (the old hand) and Freddie (the new kid on his first day!) out for a little siesta. They awake later -feeling as awful as the putrid toxin smells -- to a living nightmare as Uneeda's inventory of dead this-n-thats have been brought back to hideous, brain-gnawing life! Frank and Freddie react with such over-the-top hysteria that the scene's comedic zeal is totally electric. Of course, their reactions are pretty much how most of us would react to this mortifying situation, and that's exactly why it works so well. Everyone plays this movie straight. Things go from terrible to horrific as Frank calls the boss, Burt, over to help take care of the reanimated corpse in the basement. With each new method devised to right the situation a another can of worms is opened for our protagonists, until they are forced to whittle down their options to the most drastic one imaginable. Return of the Living Dead is blessed with a kind of kinetic energy and pace that borders on the hysterical. Also, helping to maintain this vitality is the incredible punk soundtrack playing over much of the movie's key action sequences and montages.

'Surfin' Dead' by The Cramps adds humor to a siege sequence. And as the film's iconic skeleton emerges from it's grave -- its eyes opened widely, boney jaw dropping open -- we hear 45 Grave screaming "DO YOU WANNA PARTY?" The only correct answer to this query is a resounding FUCK YES! This is one party you never want to pass up. The characters are all great and remarkably well-performed, the gore is plentiful, the creature effects are fun, and the whole film is bursting with a go-for-broke energy that has yet to be rivaled. It's youthful nihilism and vindication of it's distrust for governmental institutions is a message just as clearly heard today as it ever was. Witty, inventive, clever, hysterically goofy, and terrifying, Return of the Living Dead is a rare breed within the genre. This flick stands the test of time, and is a true Trash Cinema Great! Come on by Video 21 if you'd like to check this Trash Cinema Classic out and we'll be pleased as punch to recommend a few other greats while you're there. Till next time, Gang, Stay Trashy!

Also, there happens to be an ad hoc group of community members and business owners in Tally who are interested in bringing a greater variety of independent and alternative films to the Capital City. If you are interested in being a part of these efforts, contact us at tallahassy@gmail.com

Video Of The Week

This Video of the Week comes out of Portland, OR and stars a man and 60 of his friends performing a lip-synching, choreographed musical as part of a most original and hilarious marriage proposal – complete with a marching band. The man is Isaac Lamb, mastermind behind this unforgettable proposal to his girlfriend, Amy Finkel. The video even made it on to Good Morning America, and has more than 1 million views. Search YouTube: The setup: Isaac tells his girlfriend to meet him at his “Best Proposal parent’s house -- with no other details . Once there, Isaac's Ever” brother sits her on the tailgate of the family car and places headphones on her ears before the vehicle slowly pulls out of the driveway and down the street – where an entire entourage of Amy's friends and family members surprise her with a musical performance to rival any Broadway show. And all in sync with the music she is hearing on the headphones. You may want to keep the tissues nearby—we totally cried.

Casablanca

Not much needs to be said here. It's Casablanca. If you've seen it, you know why it's great – impeccable story structure, compelling love-story arch, tightly crafted production, and spot on passive-aggressive Nazi hating. If you haven't seen it, here's your chance. Showing on the outdoor screen once the sun goes down. The event also features a palm reader, bellydancers, and a special Morrocan menu provided by the Great American Sandwich Food Truck. $4 cover, which benefits Capital City Villager.

2) Jazz Journalist Local Hero Award Reception

It is no secret that FSU has one of the best jazz programs in the country with alumni such as Martin Bejerano, Manuel Valera, Marcus Roberts and of course the Zach Bartholomew Trio. “The best students follow the best teachers” and it is no wonder that Leon Anderson is one of these teachers. Anderson joined faculty in 1998 and since then has put the FSU Jazz Program on the map. It is because of him that the jazz scene will continue to thrive in the Tallahassee area, and the next generation of swinging jazz musicians continues to graduate from FSU. Come help celebrate Anderson's many accomplishments by awarding him with the JJA Award at the historical B-Sharps Jazz Cafe. There will be a free reception and the night doesn't end there. At 8pm, everyone will be heading over to FSU for a faculty concert and the presentation of the award. Come see and hear for yourself why Steve Wilson said that FSU is one of the three schools in the country to produce such quality Jazz musicians. Wed. June 20. 5pm.

If that isn't enough, Albert Castiglia, former lead guitarist for Junior Wells, will be having a CD release party the next night for his fifth CD, Keepin On.
