Check out the list of upcoming films from LFC.
I’m particularly thrilled to see “Touch the Sound” listed since I have had the pleasure of seeing this movie and also have seen Evelyn Glinnie perform in Glasgow at Celtic Connections Festival.

And for Women’s Week there is an amazing list of events scheduled.
In particular Image Theater’s FEM NOIRE: The Festival of Women Playwrights

‘hood stuff

Tuesday July 14th, 6:30 PM – City Council meeting. Please note on the agenda Councilor Milinazzo has a motion to for an independent legal investigation into whether the council violated the city (Plan E) charter when they voted not to fund assistant city manager, Andy Sheehan’s position.
I am not in the habit of editorializing… however, this motion by a councilor who publicly acknowledged she did it “because she doesn’t like him…” or some such nonsense…SCREAMS out for top honors in the WTF? category. Stay-tuned…I can not imagine one other councilor besides Mr. Milinazzo would possibly have the courage to vote in favor of this motion. To put it simply…this is sad, sad, sad for the city.


Which leads me to remind everyone:
http://www.fairvotelowell.org/ Petitions for an initiatve to be placed on this November’s ballot are due within the next week. If have the petition, please call or send me an email at: kmarcin@gmail.com

“Momma’s Man”
Thursday, July 16, 7 p.m.
2009 (doors open at 6:30)
LTC Studio, 246 Market st.
During a short business trip to New York, 30-something Mikey pays a visit to his parents’ home and decides never to leave, forsaking all his responsibilities as a husband and new father back in Los Angeles. Written and directed by Azazel Jacobs, this unique independent drama delves into the fear of facing adulthood, the romanticizing of the past and the unwillingness to accept change, regardless of its inevitability.
