Weekly Report from Boulder
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro! RIP Hunter S.

A friend of mine got divorced on Valentine's Day last week. Figures.

This past weekend was the debut of the Boulder International Film Festival. While Telluride and Denver have had their own festivals for years, it seemed surprising that it took Boulder this long. Friday evening I took in two films: Dreaming of Tibet and Seoul Train. Both are intense films about the travails of people in Tibet and North Korea and their efforts to pursue freer lives elsewhere. Neither film is too complimentary of the Chinese government and their lack of understanding on human rights issues.

I leave on Wednesday for Folk Alliance/Strictly Mundial in Montreal where it's going down to nine below at night, sadly that is not Celsius. There will be no tracking on March 1 as a result. I'll still be thawing out.
