Danny Vegas & An Inconvenient Truth

Danny Vegas, our good pal and flatmate from Auckland has made his way to Halifax after having arrived in north america in January! We're really happy he's here to stay with us for the next week or two. Eabha was stunned to see Danny and watched him quietly while processing his voice. Then after a few minutes of being very quiet she started to whisper "Ruth"?....."Tom"?.... (other good friends and former flatmates in Auckland).

The school year is winding down; assigned to the last day (28th), last period ought to be interesting...I'll probably have to barricade the doors (then again, there's often bars on the windows anyway)...

Emily is finishing up her sandwhich board sign for the bookstore, and will be attending her second interview for a full time tattooing position with a major day spa here in Halifax.

Has anyone seen the movie 'An Inconvenient Truth'? I'm really looking forward to seeing it soon and was wondering if anyone had any reviews?

Enjoy the videos and photos, please drop a comment if you visit!

Speaking of climate chaos, here is a video from our pal and former flatmate, 'Cookie's' blog www.cookielovescake.blogspot.com 'Cookie' is working with green peace on several projects in and around the South Pacific. The photos are stunning, I totally recomend a visit to her site! This video is of her tree sit in tasmania:



Here is a video of the introduction to Captain Planet, a radical television cartoon about ecological issues:



Here is a (very, very, very) funny spoof of Captain Planet that I found:



Here is a video of Murray Bookchin. Murray Bookchin is a well known (green) anarchist who developed his theory of "Social Ecology", and his University with the same name or, The Institute For Social Ecology:



And here is a video of what happened when a punk band 'The Exploited' was not allowed to cross the border into Quebec for a concert, and a security guard had severly asaulted a prospective concert goer:
