These guys have played the Pub before as the Solid Foundation with Reggae Legend Winston Jarrett.

Now they return to bring their message through music: Here is a description from their myspace page:

Five Mutants from Rasta planet Reutes Ole 7 embeded in Seattle to Help the people of earth rise up and enjoy themselves. To blend in, the mutants pose as an investigative reporter, a billionaire, a man size praying mantis, a professor of binomial nomenclature at UW, a decorated rastafarian athlete, and a mystical dread-locksmith. The Transport they rode in on was supposed to hit earth in early 70's. Fortunately their space craft was caught in a meteor storm that delayed their arrival until some time in late 2003. None of the crew seemed to mind that much due to the improved quality of the herb.

kids bluebell
"Beth Whitney's phenomenal debut release, Leave Your Shoes, reminds us that we have absolutely nowhere to be but right here, right now. So powerful is the experience of this album that each and every time I play it, I'm transported - instantly - to the present. Her voice texturizes even the subtlest of surroundings in and outside of the recording. Ms. Whitney breathes life into each note. Really, it's the most sublime invitation to stillness: lyrics, chords, and sweet, milky vocal nuances etch themselves beautifully in a sparse acoustic landscape." Barbie-Danielle DeCarlo, World and Pop Music Director, KBCS 91.3 FM, Seattle

High and Oustide, The BILL LEE MOVIE

Friday April 18th 8 pm

$5 donation benefits MV Youth Baseball

In High & Outside , politically minded documentary director/producer Peter J. Vogt turns the camera on one of the most colorful and controversial figures to play professional baseball - Bill "Spaceman" Lee

Labeled "The Spaceman", Bill preferred the nickname "Earthman" because it reflected the things he cared about deeply. Bill became the spokesperson for a generation that came of age in the 1960s and frequented the right field bleachers at Fenway. Lee was a voice of reason and sanity in a game corrupted by "planet-polluting owners" and the corporate mindset.

is a year round organization dedicated to bringing a new face-vision and scene to the fly-fishing entertainment world. Our goal is to inspire fly fishers and film makers to make new, innovative, entertaining and cutting edge films. Fly-fishing media has been dominated by "How to" or "instructional" programs. You will find none of that here. What you will find is pure fly-fishing entertainment.

The Business of Being Born

Tuesday April 29th 6 pm
 $5 donation

There will be a Panel Discussion Following Film

Birth is a miracle, a rite of passage, a natural part of life. But birth is also big business.

Compelled to explore the subject after the delivery of her first child, actress Ricki Lake recruits filmmaker Abby Epstein to question the way American women have babies.

The film interlaces intimate birth stories with surprising historical, political and scientific insights and shocking statistics about the current maternity care system. When director Epstein discovers she is pregnant during the making of the film, the journey becomes even more personal.

Should most births be viewed as a natural life process, or should every delivery be treated as a potentially catastrophic medical emergency?

Recipe of the Month
Flirtini

This drink should be served in a collins, chimney, martini or highball glass.

1 oz [ketel one] vodka
2 oz champagne
2 0z pineapple juice

Gently shake pineapple juice and vodka, strain into a rocks filled glass, top with champagne.  Use Marchino Cherries or pineapple wedges for garnish.
