Loudmouth Yank, aka Graham Patzner, will be playing an intimate set at the Masako Miki and Chris Russell opening on Friday, August 21. Rumors have it, there'll be soulful, dirty folk ballads on the piano and ... honestly, I think you'll be counting your lucky stars you had the good fortune to happen upon this charming Oakland talent. Opening is from 7-10pm, Graham plays at 8.
"Graham Patzner is a singer/songwriter from Oakland, California. Musicianship is in his bloodline, but it became apparent at a young age that this skill did not transfer via genes. Graham began befriending imaginary people who began the laborious process of teaching him violin, guitar, piano, trumpet, and the batanjo. Frito, the wood-sphinx, described Graham's music as "bottom of the barrel, top-o-the-morning wispy autumn ballads meets Michael Bolton." The Berkeley Darners Monthly rated Patzner's "Nine Songs in the Key of Patzner" a C-, but a C+ for effort. His music can be heard at http://www.myspace.com/grahampatzner."

we made it!
we made it! Filmmaker Lawrence Jordan and projectionists John Davis and Brecht Andersch make it through the 12 hour premier of CIRCUS SAVAGE. Sat, June 13th - Gallery Extraña "projection room."
Lawrence brought this quote by Algernon Blackwood to my attention the day before the marathon screening of CIRCUS SAVAGE.
"The Screen flashes into light and with the picture consciousness passes across the world. The lie of the stationary photography is corrected, time is denied, partially at least, and space is unable to boast and swagger as it loves to do. The cinema frees and extends the consciousness, restores the past, and sets distance close beneath the eyes. Only the watching self remains, pregnant symbol in the darkness." Algernon Blackwood
