[Update] This event is a "go" because I need to do mine anyway!

If you didn't make it to the Hat Factory Vintage 16 mm Film Festival, here is what you missed. (If you were there, here is what you saw):

Rice growing in Japan: Very nice. Looked like late 40's vintage, crop dusting with helicopters.

Glasses for susan: a new day. I didn't see this one. I was cooking. Looked cute. Somebody help me out here.

Car talk: Join a vivacious brunette as she navigates the perilous wintry streets of Grand Rapids (or Battle Creek, or somewhere in Michigan, who cares, brrrr) enlightening women drivers on the joy of automobile maintenance. Features include demonstrations of fuel economies resulting from proper tire inflation, beakers full of gasoline!
