bring the noise pop! (thursday)

Tuesday, feb. 27, 2007   |   0 comments

For those of you who don’t yet have plans lined up for Thursday, and who have $5 sizzling away in their pockets, and who find themselves in the mood for some sleep talk, it turns out that I’ll be powerpointing it up alongside the fine likes of Gary Rudoren, Eric Hoffman, Salvador Plascencia, Chinaka Hodge, and Wells Tower in “A Night of Instant Calm,” part of the Noisepop Film Festival. After the readings comes a screening of choice Wholphins: “Selections include, but are not limited to: ‘Squid: Born Like Stars,’ in which a scientist has six hours to try and prove his theory that squid are good mothers, with sounds by Colleen; ‘Nice Day,’ the cheapest and perhaps funniest music video ever made; ‘Patton/Byrne’ (Patton Oswalt stares, David Byrne sings); and a crying competition: Nine contestants. Whistle blows. First tear to hit the table wins.”

WHEN: Thursday, March 1, 7pm
WHERE: Mezzanine, 444 Jessie Street at Mint
TICKETSES: $5, and eek reservations are recommended (RSVP to freedmreading@noisepop.com to reserve a spot)!
