Now until February 27th in the Library on the 1st floor, just outside Photoland, faculty member Bob Haft's photography exhibit "Omiyage" Souvenirs from Kobe will be showing.

Official press release:

Spoken word is not a particularly well-known or much thought-about art form. In past times and different places, poetry recitation was a revered occupation. Today, in our so-called modern American way, the role of the poet and speaker has been all but dropped from our society. A small group of dedicated Greeners is trying to change that. The Evergreen Old Growth Poetry Collective meets every Tuesday at 5:00 PM in the library building to write and share poetry and organize spoken word events for the community.

If you grew up in the 80's, played NES games as a kid, liked to skateboard, watched Ninja Turtles, or dreamed of being a surfer in California, then chances are you would probably enjoy the music of James Ferraro. That might sound pretentious, but any fan of his music would understand that sentiment completely. To put it more plainly, if you like experimental or electronic chillwave, ambient or drone artists like Aphex Twin, Neon Indian, Washed Out, Flying Lotus, or even bands like Velvet Underground or Red Crayola, then you will most likely dig James Ferraro.

Now through December 30 is your chance to see Carolee Shneemann’s exhibition Within and Beyond the Premises in Seattle at the University of Washington’s Henry Art Gallery (15th Ave NE & 41st St
, Seattle). The gallery is open Wednesday through Sunday for a suggested donation of $10.00.

In response to my article “No Money for Music”, I received an email from Nicholas Harris, an Evergreen alumnus. After graduating from TESC in 2006, Nicholas has gone on to be a concert promoter, putting together festivals such as the Soul’d Out Festival held in Portland, Oregon that has featured hip-hop artists such as Mos Def and Ice Cube. Recently he coordinated a show on Halloween weekend at the Eastside Club Tavern in Olympia featuring Rubblebucket and High Ceiling.

With the soon to be released, (November 23rd), “My Week with Marilyn” starring Michelle Williams as the iconic Marilyn Monroe, I felt it necessary to take a look back at a true Marilyn Monroe film. How to Marry a Millionaire is one of my favorite Monroe movies, second only to the classic Some Like it Hot. The basic premise of the film begins with three models in New York, Loco (Betty Grable), Pola (Marilyn Monroe), and Schatze (Lauren Bacall), determined to find spouses with large bank accounts.
