So if I could have one band in the world just setup shop and play a few songs in our library, I might just pick the Walkmen and, lo and behold, they actually did just that in a public library in New York city!!!! Watch these below! Also, what band would you want to see perform live in our library??!?!! Comment and let the blog know!
The Walkmen – "Blue As Your Blood" – Gothamist House from Foglight Films on Vimeo.
The Walkmen – "Woe Is Me" – Gothamist House from Foglight Films on Vimeo.
The film The Beatrix Gem masterfully directed by Ben M. of Arlington Heights!!! I've watched this 5 times and I laugh harder each time ... enjoy!
WOW!
We had 13 films entered into this year's film fest, and all were totally excellent, funny, clever and technically well done! Thanks to all who acted/directed or came to the screening! Here is a silent version of the 3rd place winning film entitled Jenga and directed by Trevor O.
And here is the awesomely unsettling 2nd Place winning video entitled Walking On Air directed by Ashley G.:
The first place winner will be shown tomorrow in it's own blog entry so come back and feel free to comment on these videos!
The 4th Annual Teen Film Fest is screening this Friday night (August 20th at 7pm in the library) and the host/judge of the Fest is none other than the DAILY HERALD'S Dann Gire!!! Whatsmore, here's a recent interview that Mr. Gire did with Scott Pilgrim Vs The World star, Michael Cera!!! Excited? You should be because you can meet Mr. Gire, hear his comments on a number of films directed by local teens and watch those fabulous films this Friday!
... as in the Training Days leading up to the Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins!?!? If you are, you might want to check out the new board game seen here - - - ->
So the Seattle Public Library's main downtown branch (which, by the way, is insanely cool and has a crazy futuristic design) was flash mobbed by this large band of dancers who made a premeditated dance floor out of the Library! Watch here:
Thanks, Elena, for showing me this video ... awesome!

I was at U.S. Cellular Field last night gorging on ballpark food and marveling at the sport of baseball and it struck me today, in my office: "Oh yeah! Isn't there a baseball book just out recently for teens that's supposed to be really good?" There is. It's called Shakespeare Makes the Playoffs by Ron Koertge. Weird title because it's a weird book. It's written in free-verse my friends ... an odd way to read a story and one you'll fly through. Some interesting facts about the author:
1) He sees 60-70 movies (in the theater) a year! 2) He bets on horses. 3)He's a big Triple AAA baseball fan.
I found this interview of the author online and it's an interesting one!
P.S. My Grandma calls ballgames ... "gallbames". She's a funny one.
