FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26Th 7:30pm PICKLED OKRA IN CONCERT.
We keep serving them up, and you keep asking for another helping. So here they are. There are many bluegrass and old-timey bands in the Northwest, but none quite like PICKLED OKRA. They breathe new life into a classic genre with fresh ideas and playful family charm. Conceived in 2006 by a husband and wife team, Todd and Paisley Gray, playing of mandolin, upright bass, and banjo leaving plenty of room for their rich vocal harmonies. New bandmates, and Alyse Read (banjo) complete the band's rich sound.
Yes they all know their bluegrass licks and aren’t afraid to show them off, and their music is full of ideas borrowed from old time fiddle tunes, jazzy delta blues, pop, rock, reggae and funk as we. No Cover. Donations appreciated. Hear Pickled Okra: http://getokra.com/fr_home.cfm.

"Zero History" brings William Gibson's Modern trilogy to a close

Posted by Buono Buzzard
The trailer for William Gibson's "Zero History" promises the same sorts of forays into the dizzying morass of technology and surveillance that he undertook with "Pattern Recognition" and its sequel, "Spook Country." Though the cyberpunkian author is best known for his older work in the1980s--"Neuromancer," the short story "Johnny Mnemonic"--his newest works have cleaved closer to our current time and technology. No longer content (or able?) to cast his speculative net wide into the future with the scary precision of his previous books, Gibson's post-2000 works have crept closer and closer to the modern day. Whether this grinding spotlight focus on today's world detracts or adds to his narratives is of personal preference: certainly it puts more pressure on his character and plot building skills--never terrible strong to begin with--but it also makes for an easier read for those unused to the zipping grandeur of cyberpunk. But is it still cyberpunk? Or has his genre caught up with him, transforming futuristic fiction to simple fiction?
