Then, there’s a lecture with live band accompaniment- short films and rantings at the School of the Art Institute in Chicago, March 28 at 6PM: http://www.saic.edu/art_design/vap/index.html#current_series/SLC_38429
It’s a pretty amazing lecture series. Ben Marcus, Sam Lipsyte and Marilyn Minter are right before me. The band for our thing is Jim Becker (Califone, Iron&Wine), Joe Adamik (Califone, Iron&Wine), Michael McGinley (the Bitter Tears, Califone, Gravity Was Everywhere Back Then) and Donna K (Gravity Was Everywhere Back Then).
After the SAIC thing, there’s a couple screenings of Gravity Was Everywhere Back Then- the theatrical version complete with wobbly homemade soundtrack- at the Gene Siskel Center:
Thursday, March 29, 6:00 p.m.
Saturday, March 31, 12:30 p.m.

Thank you, Sir, for the ranting yesterday. I was amazed. Great performance. If I was a 21 year old SAIC student I think I would have been uplifted, kicked in the rear end to do things. I was moved as well. Cheers.
Thank you for saying that. I definitely felt my job was to ignite something in the SAIC students and, later, after realizing other folks were there, was a bit worried I had plain missed everyone else.
