organized in my mind, I put together a calendar of events just to keep them in some kind of sane
perspective. Many of these are brought to Seattle through those fine organizations that are Decibel
, Earshot Jazz Fest and the Northwest Film Forum, or labels/distributors that I work with/through and
subsequently they have offered up guestlist spots - some of which with +1's. Which means, Seattle crew:
you want to catch any of these in my company you gotta let me know. And yes, as if Decibel Fest, SFEMF
and the events at SIFF Cinema weren't enough last month, October looks to be carrying on the precedent
established by these past months with an abundance of the cinematic/sonic arts here in our little city.

And this doesn't include the visual art openings! So, thats all I know about this far in advance, no doubt
there will be more events to consider as venues like Nonsequitur and Grand Illusion release their Oct
schedules. And yes, honestly I *am* going to make these all. Or at least as many of them as sanity will
allow - and if you know me, you know my sanity can take a lot of art-punishment.
