filmed by bike is back again, and just over a month away. i'm planning on taking one of the friday afternoon trains (hopefully the 2:20 cascades) down again with my bike. portland is amazing for riding and has the best damn beer.
this year the film festival has gone even crazier, for opening night they're officially shutting down clinton street in front of the theater and turning it into a giant block party. in past years it was just a de facto ridiculousness. there are now _three_ showings on opening night but i expect them to sell out even faster.
it doesn't align with the midnight mystery ride this year so i'm not sure what biking events will happen, but being as it's portland and all i wouldn't be surprised if there was a little wandering around the city punctuated by a bonfire somewhere in the course of the weekend.

Plus, you'll have the opportunity to see the world premiere of the new PhiloCycle film from Perfessor Dave and Madcow, "The Tortoise and the Hare!"

last year the prefunk was drinkin' cans of pbr in the qwest parking lot, and then continuing to drink cans of pbr (and making bourbon cokes) on the ride down.
even better it means riding down to amtrak after lunch at shultzys. pretty much a recipe for an excellent friday.

I just bought my ticket on the 2:20.
If we need a place to crash, my buddy Andy is a bike jerk down there with an enormous dry can clean basement and big thick fucking pads to sleep on. Several of you have come with me on my PDX adventures and can testify to the awesomeness.

Why must the Seattle Public Library also have the huge book sale at Magnuson on the same weekend? Really?! :P
EDIT: +1 (and bike) for the Friday 2:20pm train

Did you know that there are VERY good reasons for that? A single book could jeopardize the entire library collection (through unseen mold infestations). Every library has a collection development and weeding policy. Your books may not fit in with that overall collection development policy. Furthermore, many of these used books may or may not be of suitable condition to survive a few circulations through the system. It costs money to catalog, mark and put the book into circulation. It costs money to discard a book as well.
It is especially difficult to evaluate every book that's donated to the library. People would drop off 500+ paperback books at the library. At the library I used to work at, we could get 1000+ volumes donated per week. Do all those get added? What about this great, rare book with a damaged cover? Are any of these books in this box water damaged, and were they properly dried out?
Books sales of donated books benefit the library in much better ways than having booked added to the library collections. The proceeds of those sales go the friends of the library, who then in turn fund things like computer classes, literacy classes, special book collections, children's story times, and summer reading.

Hopefully UW doesn't succumb to book devouring mold monsters from the new book shipped directly from Amazon that they accepted from me.

New rule, when you have one copy of a new book, and six holds on it, you should accept the offer of donation. You can sell it later.
I was a librarian's page for two years in middle school to make extra money. So I can say with good authority that behind every quiet, mild-mannered, "knows exactly what book you're looking for and where to find it" librarian, there's a passive aggressive, ready to strike and hide the body in the microfiche room, cold blooded, steely eyed killing machine. Doubly so for the Information Desk guy.
They throw great holiday parties, too.
