Hi Kennita,<br>
<br>
I read it whenever my Thunderbird count of unread messages goes up. I
like the idea of Extropians making it a bigger party, though there is a
chance I'll go with a Russian immigrant who was a Russian M.D.<br>
<br>
Others?<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello -- who all is still reading this?
I know myself well enough to say with fair
certainty that I wouldn't go to this alone,
but I have no plans for Friday May 2, Tuesday
May 6, or Wednesday May 7, and would be up
for meeting one or more 'tropes for movie
with munches before and/or after. Anybody?
Live long and prosper,
Kennita

<pre wrap="">Hello Extropes,
David Harris just told me about an upcoming documentary, that I think
is very special, to be shown soon, in your area in S.F. Don't miss it!
"The Singing Revolution"
San Francisco, CA, May 2nd - May 8th at the Landmark Lumiere.
I saw this film at the Boulder International Film Festival last
February, and it lives up to its promises; it is one of those
rare films that stays in your mind forever.
Here is the trailer for the film: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.singingrevolution.com/">http://www.singingrevolution.com/</a>
Here is my own brief experience with that time in history:

Most of the film were events of which I was very familiar, but
there were a few pleasant surprise-events too.
Here is Steve Jurvetson's summary, and also of his readers:

Jurvetson's readers give more links to reviews where the movie has
played.
Following, are words from the film's producers.
