The English Surgeon

A good documentary does more to stimulate my mind than the best fictional films. The English Surgeon is above and beyond a spectacular documentary. Most scriptwriters couldn't dare compete with the sheer drama and uncomfortable tension filmmaker Geoffrey Smith captures in his real-life story of English neurosurgeon Henry Marsh, who became fed up with the inability of Ukrainian doctors to treat patients in need of brain operations and decided to do something about it. When a young Ukrainian man needs an operation to remove a tumor in his brain, Doctor Smith is his only hope for long-term survival. Unfortunately for this patient, modern luxuries are nowhere to be found in modern-day Ukraine and the only the way the operation can move forward is by using nothing but local anesthetics to reduce the pain of drilling thru the scull and scraping away the cancerous cells growing on his brain--In other words, doing the entire operation while completely awake and conscious. Beyond the unbelievable situations throughout the film, the simple message of humanitarianism shines.  In today's consumerist smorgasbord of a world we live in, it can be easy to forget the simple things that make being a fellow human being a rewarding experience. This film helps remind us. -Clayton Hauck

Angels & Kings Afterparty

8/8/2009 | Chicago: After shooting a wedding for ten hours, or some silly amount like that, I surprisingly managed to stop by AK for a while and take some more photos. It was surprisingly fun--I was expecting a mad house. I guess it was a mad house but it was a manageable one. GZA performed a few songs, Samantha Ronson played some hits while Lindsey Lohan stood by her side & DJ White Lightning and Yello Fever also played. I'm sure a bunch more crazy stuff happened but I wasn't there long enough to witness it all. I will say, however, that I heard a bunch of SamRo shit talking going on and, while her turntable skills may not be that of an A-Trak or Klever, they were fine and she was playing the exact jams I wanted to hear. She definitely gets the Just Desserts (that's me) seal of DJ approval, if that means anything (it doesn't). Gallery here.

Free booze and burlseque

The dudes over at myopenbar hosted a burlesque show with free drambuie (huh?) liqueouer (this is the fanciest way I can think to spell it) and a fun/odd/cool/goofy burlesque show. My favorite part was when the comedian slowly swallowed a looong balloon. Well that and the getting drunk for free part. Oh, and one girl was walking around hammering a nail into her nose.

Here are some pictures, click the images to see the whole gallery!
