Dan,
The screening of movieson building walls in NYC grows out of the Italian

wavelength, magic can happen.
A great experience - watching "B
For many years there was a community outdoor movie series in the Fremont
nieghborhood of Seattle. It was held in a parking lot? (don't know if
that fits with your interests) It was a model that has been used
throughout the country. The lot has been redevloped and they are

Hi Folks,
Yes, health departments' efforts to control every aspect of food
consumption do seem a little misplaced to some of us involved in organic
agriculture. A look at many studies of the human health on this planet
