----/ The Squid List /-------------------------------------------------- Free Eco Film Night: Walking the West
Thursday, June 29 7:00pm-9:30pm Free. ----/ Event Description /----------------------------------------------- A New Zealander and an Irishman, both residents of San Francisco, quit their jobs, cash in their savings and walk 2,626 miles from Mexico to Canada along one of the longest and most challenging foot trails in the world, the Pacific Crest Trail. Their route takes them through some of the most spectacular scenery in North America, including California's deserts, the alpine lakes and granite peaks of the Sierra Nevadas, and the massive volcanoes and temperate rainforests of the Cascade Mountains. Walking a challenging pace of 21 miles a day for 4.5 months, they must cross the Canadian border before winter storms hit the Cascades. The ordeal forced one of them to quit just 60 miles before the finish. This epic adventure is an exhilarating antidote to the predictability of modern life. Be there for the planning, provisioning, blisters, shin splints, trailside characters, and surprising finish. Produced and Directed by Myles Murphy, an ILM special effects artist, who will introduce the film and answer audience questions afterwards. ----/ Venue Info /------------------------------------------------------ Varnish Fine Art 77 Natoma St San Francisco http://www.varnishfineart.com ----/ Additional Info /------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 415-383-0484 http://www.greenplanetfilms.org ----/ The Squid List Admin /--------------------------------------------- The Squid List, a tentacle of Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/ subscribe, unsubscribe, change your email address or change your subscription options: http://lists.laughingsquid.org/mailman/listinfo/squidlist/ Frequently Asked Questions & Submission Guidelines Squid List FAQ: http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/faq.html The Squid List Online Calendar: http://laughingsquid.org/squidlist/calendar/ The Squid List RSS Feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/squidlist ----/ Laughing Squid /-------------------------------------------------- Laughing Squid http://laughingsquid.com art, culture and technology from San Francisco and beyond Laughing Squid Web Hosting http://laughingsquid.net friendly, dependable and secure web hosting services for artists, individuals, bloggers, non-profits and small organizations The Squid List is licensed under a Creative Commons License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/
