Tracks from Cars & Trucks ‘Mere Mortals’ posted on the interwebs

Silent film, loud score

haxan
So this fellow Ben Christensen was fairly obsessed with a book titled Malleus Maleficarum, written in the 15th century, it was a guide for those doing the holiest of holy work, witch hunting. He proceeded to make one of the spookiest pictures of all time and break the bank while doing so. The film is from 1922 and Tim Kaiser will be performing an original score for the picture. We will be showing the truncated version that was cut in the sixties as there are no 35mm prints of the uncut version available to us in the US. Tickets are 10 bux and available here

New Japanese Restaurant

sushi-for-2

Does anyone know about the new Japanese Restaurant opening on 1st Ave West? I guess it’s called Hanabi Japanese Cuisine and it is located at 110 N. 1st Ave West. Not sure when they open or what their menu is going to be like. I did hear someone mention Zen House opening a Downtown location, is this it? Or is this a totally different thing?
