I read it when the count went up. I never said I always respond right
away when it goes up. :-)<br>

I was getting to know my Russian MD woman online and then having a
first date and a tour of the Stanford Med School area. I delayed
responding until I knew what I wanted to say. Now I'll ask her about
May 2 and 7. She had a verbal job offer on Tuesday for a Berkeley job
as a physician's assistant, and might be keeping the decks clear in
case she has to learn a lot of new procedures or language. I hope to
know by this coming Monday what she says. Maybe we could use my car to
go to SF and pick her up to go as a trio.<br>

I know myself well enough to say with fair

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

<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 moz-do-not-send="true"

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:

played.

We are writing to you because you live in the greater San Francisco
area and indicated an interest in The Singing Revolution by
signing-up on our website. Thank you! We think you will be inspired
and energized by the remarkable events in Estonia in the late-1980s.
The New York Times made the film a coveted "NYT Critics' Pick" and
alludes to "Casablanca" when describing The Singing Revolution:

Please help spread the word about the film opening. If you'd like
some postcards and flyers about the film to hand out, just let us
know. Word of mouth is how we've gotten this far, and it's why the
film is being held over in other cities!

May 8th in San Francisco, CA. Additional openings in other cities are
listed on the website.
Thank you!
