Pax-salon Mailing List: Terrorization of Dissent

[patty (pattypax]

HI,  This Tuesday, February 17, we will show one part of the film 
Terrorization of Dissent.   This is the documentary film of what took 
place in our Twin Cities during the Republican National Convention last 
September.   While the Republicans were inside the Xcel center hooping 
it up with Sarah Palin, the streets were something different.  As one 
delegate said on TV, "We really don't care about what is happening on 
the outside, we are inside and just having a good time."  A timely 
metaphor if i must say so.   Come and see what your taxes paid for 
during these harsh days.
The second part will be next week.  We hope to start right at 6:30, end 
the film at 8 and leave time for talk.

Thanks,
patty

ps.  The movie of the month will be Saturday, Feb. 21, and will be 
"Songcatcher," the story of musicologist,  Lily Penleric (played by 
Janet McTeer), who, in the early part of the 20th Century goes to the 
beautifully rugged mountains of Appalachia and discovers a wellspring 
of songs passed down from the Irish and Scottish immigrants.  She is 
determined to document the history of these songs and is forever 
changed by her experiences.  (Aiden Quinn also stars.)  Starting time: 
6:30.
And, hopefully we can hear some of these Appalachian songs played in 
person by Jewel Mayer and Chad Guerrero.
