Thomas and I went to the Science Fiction Museum today, it was very cool. It had a temporary costume show including original Darth Vader, Indiana Jones, Obi Wan Kenobi, Will Robinson (ooo, I'd love to get a little silver flight suit for my William) plus original models for the Death Star, the Deep Space 9, and oodles of others.
Then I went to the Northwest Film Forum and got a tour of their facilities from their director Michael Selwerath and talked with the program director Adam Sekuler. They have some interesting ideas such as programming from a vault of old films they'd had donated. They have a modified JK printer to mount a video camera in place of the bolex to frame grab and do telecine from super-8 one frame at a time. On the other end of the spectrum, they take on the role of producer to help get financing together for members to shoot their first features. The front end of the organization is a 365 day per year cinematheque with fantastic programming.
This evening I've not been feeling well. I thought it might be hunger pains and it went away when I had supper, but some curious, unusual, and annoyingly painful cramps have started coming back. Thomas is really jet lagged so has fallen asleep already, so no gaming tonight. For those who don't know Thomas, he loves games and has a collection of over 300 on his shelves, with no sign of the common Monopoly, Clue, or Trivial Pursuit. Maybe tomorrow.
PS: on further looking, there is a version of Monopoly as well as Trivial Pursuit, but he still has no Clue.
