One of the best parts of the film festival is the festive part, meeting before the "screening" for a drink and appetizers, the "date aspect" as Melissa describes it. We've discovered that the Brick Oven pizza place serves Oak Pond Brewery's Laughing Loon beer, the real Mexican place on the sidewalk downtown makes a great frozen marguerita, and next door to it, the Last Unicorn serves a hot french bread. Our favorite film so far is the Rachel Carson monologue piece called "A Sense of Wonder." We also saw "Phoebe in Wonderland," which was voted the favorite. We saw two documentaries: "Tootie's Last Suit," and "A Man Called Pearl." The Opera House is the most festive venue with its real theater feel. Here's the speech of the week: the Al Gore generational challenge. A crisis is not a thing to be wasted. Our current energy crisis is our best opportunity to remake ourselves into something sensible and sustainable. Summer visiting: Pam and Bob were with us briefly while Bob showed his stuff at an arts day thing in Waterville. My sisters, Colleen and Ingrid, will come up on Thursday. |
