Art on Alberta continues, though I don't believe the street is closed until maybe sometime next year, when they figure out how to pay for it.
Israel Lund from PNCA takes the garage with Trubl(e), while the hay bales will be activated by a mysterious force. The alley could be muddy and will be dark.

We like democracy that works. So does Harvard-Stanford professor Lawrence Lessig. Lessig has been a leading thinker on digital rights, like copyright, open source and many other philisophical, legal and social issues connected to the Internets, that system of tubes. He founded Creative Commons. He turns his analysis and network on our democracy, campaign spending and corruption. That's his project Fix Congress First. He speaks earlier at the First Unitarian Church and at 8, informally at the West Cafe 1201 SW Jefferson.
