What A Way to Go: Life at the End of Empire
Where: First United Methodist Church
Date: 2008-01-24 18:30:00
Type:
Boulder County Going Local will present a public screening of the powerful documentary film WHAT A WAY TO GO: LIFE AT THE END OF EMPIRE on Thursday, January 24, at 1st United Methodist Church (1421 Spruce St.) at 6:30 p.m. Admission $10. Immediately after the screening, the filmmakers will host a dialogue with the audience. “Nothing less than a 123-minute cat scan of the planet and its twenty-first century human and non-human condition.” (Carolyn Baker, Speaking Truth to Power) Produced independently by Sally Erickson and Tim Bennett, WHAT A WAY TO GO is an intimate personal exploration of the cultural stories and assumptions that have brought us to this point, and provides a larger context for thinking about, and feeling our way through, our global situation. It is the most important film we have seen regarding these issues. WHAT A WAY TO GO features intimate interviews with noted authors Daniel Quinn, Derrick Jensen, Jerry Mander, Richard Heinberg, William Catton, Paul Roberts, Chellis Glendinning, Thomas Berry, Richard Manning and Ran Prieur, and scientists William Schlesinger, Stuart Pimm, Douglas Crawford-Brown, and Gerald Cecil. It looks head on at our present global predicament, as oil depletion, climate change, species extinction and population overshoot converge in a “perfect storm” of cataclysmic dimensions.
Jose Gonzalez
Where: The Fox Theatre

With his crystal-clear singing voice and vibrant, classically-inspired playing, Jose Gonzalez is one of today's most remarkable artists - testament to the irrefutable power of one man and a guitar. His debut album 'Veneer' captured his magical sound in its purest state, simply beautiful and beautifully simple. He has since toured the US extensively, selling out shows in every major market. While sonically similar to Veneer, Jose's recent release 'In Our Nature' shows Gonzalez' growth as a songwriter. Displaying a heightened emphasis on melody and strong, focused lyrics - the album is a dark combination of softness and anger that is at once mesmerizing, intimate and hauntingly epic.
Boombox
Where: Fox Theater

Type:
'Boombox' evolved through the common visualization of a pair of forward thinking artists from diverse musical backgrounds. This pair of dynamic artists includes producer/DJ Russ Randolph and singer/songwriter/guitarist Zion Rock Godchaux. Their project has a truly unique sound that is created by combining turntables and a guitar with a lot of looping electronica.
