Hi friends! If you're in the Minneapolis/Twin Cities area, we'll be screening Big Joy at the Walker Art Center on August 22 FOR FREE, preceded also by a new print of Broughton's *The Bed *(1968, 16mm, 20 minutes). More info about the screening here<http://www.walkerart.org/calendar/2013/big-joy-the-adventures-of-james-broughton> .
Also on August 22, in conjunction with the screening<http://www.walkerart.org/calendar/2013/socialbrief-_big-joy> : "Express your hedonism in 20 seconds or less! In celebration of the film *Big Joy: The Adventures of James Broughton*, join some blissed-out writers in the Garden Café and compose short poetic snippets that relish all that’s good about life, love, sex, summer, and more. Don’t worry, our featured writers will help you fit your boundless glee into a small package. A bit later, you could be invited to read your brief reflection on the Walker Cinema stage before the screening. Copresented by *Rain Taxi Review of Books *." Should be a blast!!!
