Events It's Happening Tonight!
Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Mon, Feb 8, 2010 at 2:34 PM
RETREAT—I could talk you to death about how fucking great Wells Tower is—about how he's one of the best authors writing today, about how you should read his short-story collection Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned—but don't take my word for it. The Paris Review, the New York Times, and McSweeney's all love the dude, too. Head over to Powell's tonight to find out why. EH
Powell's City of Books, 1005 W Burnside, 7:30 pm, FREEHERE COMES THE BRIDE—Quentin Tarantino is the Girl Talk of trash cinema, mixing all his favorite bits into a delicious bouillabaisse of violence. Instead of whinging about originality, can't we just appreciate what a beautifully constructed revenge epic Kill Bill is? A beautiful epic with skintight jumpsuits? Volume 1 this week; Volume 2 next week. DB
Laurelhurst Theater, 2735 E Burnside, see Film Times for times, $3
Do it to it! My, What a Busy Week!
