More birthdays!

Both teramis and hutson have birthdays in July (along with yours truly) so let's hear it for Crabby people! (Not to be confused with crabby people...)

You probably need to see this...

This Saturday, July 26th, the Alamo Drafthouse downtown will have a screening of Under Our Skin: The Untold Story of Lyme Disease. Mari Alvarez and her camera crew from KVUE are expected, as well as members of the health profession and elected officials. We are charging admission to cover the cost of renting the theatre. If you have not purchased tickets, please do so online at:

No credit cards will be accepted Saturday -- cash or check only. The Alamo Draft House will accept credit cards up to the day of the event. The events start at 12:00 noon.

This is a private venue rental not sponsored by the Alamo Draft house, but tickets are available to the general public.

I plan to attend this movie. If you thought SICKO and FAST FOOD NATION were scary movies, have I got a film for you. This film mostly addresses stories of people whose lives have been upended forever by Lyme disease, as opposed to the politics of Lyme. I have to see it soon, because no matter how much I hope they won't find out about it, my parents will eventually see this film. And I have to know how to calm their hysteria once they see some of the cases shown in the film. (I've seen a ten minute clip used during the fundraising for the editing.)

The documentary is drawing national attention, and was a finalist at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Let me know if you want to go -- I'll be there.

Spread the word!
