Gorge Yourself: Anybody heading up to Sasquatch?

Anne PickMay 20, 2009July 30, 2024

And that's just the side stage. Yup, Sasquatch is a pretty big deal.The wait is finally over for the most anticipated music festival in the
Northwest. Hope you got your tickets early because Saturday and Sunday
are both sold out!

Sasquatch starts the weekend off with a big bang
at the Gorge Amphitheater. The Decemberists, Animal Collective,
Devotchka and Mos Def are among the artists kicking off the festival on
Saturday. The biggest acts of the night will be headliners Kings of
Leon and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Kings of Leon are touring in support of their
latest album Only By The Night. No doubt, on Saturday you'll be able to
catch their irresistible single "Sex on Fire." I am kicking myself for
not getting tickets, solely for the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Be sure to bring
your dancing shoes because Karen O and the boys will have you grooving
to the beats of their latest album It's Blitz! So, don't be a "Zero"
and miss this performance because "Heads Will Roll."

We all know St. Patrick’s Day is marked with pints of Guinness, Irish Car Bombs and lots of Irish whiskey. Of course, there’s no shame

Don’t Flush This: The Pope’s Toilet headlines the Latino Film Fiesta

Anne PickMarch 4, 2009January 4, 2023

Look God, no hands. Without reading anything about a film called The Pope's Toilet before
taking a look at it, I figured the title would be a metaphor, for what
I don't know. I had no idea what to expect. Of course, the title
conjures many ideas as to what it could be about. The title is not
metaphorical; the toilet is actually a toilet, it's literal.

The
Pope's Toilet takes place in Uruguay and leads up to Pope John Paul
II's May 8, 1988 visit to the country. This is just one of four films
being screened this weekend as part of the Latino Film Fiesta presented
by the Latino Community Association. The fiesta celebrates Latin
American culture and recognizes the artistic contributions of Latinos
in the form of narrative cinema.
Other films screening during
the festival include: Viva Cuba, a story in the vein of Romeo and
Juliet, Forbidden to Forbid, about an architecture student and a med
student and Madeinusa, a film focusing on a town that doesn't believe
in sin from Good Friday until Easter Sunday. The films span Latin
America, from Cuba to Uruguay to Peru, giving viewers various tastes of
Latin American culture.
