A little birdie / press release told me that Twin Cities Film Fest / U Film Society mastermind Al Milgrom got into a fight with an elevator out at the Seattle Film Festival on Wednesday. And the elevator might’ve won, because he ended up with a broken arm. Geez, Al! First the heart attack and now this!
In any case, same-said item claims you can “help his condition” by going to see Iberia at the Oak Street this weekend–Iberia being one of the bestsellers from this year’s festival. It’s about gypsies, as are all good movies, operas, and theater productions really.
And now, is my good deed done?
What I’m really doing this weekend: checking the various Nature Valley Grand Prix bike races, my favorites being the one in downtown Minneapolis tonight (implicit beer drinking) and the “toughest criterium in North American” in Stillwater on Sunday (Oy, the hill!); spending as much time in bed as is possible; passing through the office to put a few finishing touches on the July issue.
If I was a more ambitious woman, I’d be road-tripping to Grandma’s Marathon, up in Duluth, to serve as a spectator or riding ye old byke to the Square Lake Solstice Festival in Stillwater. You get a discount if you can pedal there, you know.
