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

Just Desserts #1

November 11, 2009 | Lincoln Hall | Chicago: It came and went! The first night of our first monthly dance party at Lincoln Hall. I had a great time, while nervously wondering around the venue, hoping people would show up and making sure everyone was having a good time. I think most people did.. I know I did! Matt Roan killed it for real, proving he's one of the best around. Kid Color got things going early with some awesome disco tunes, Black Holes played a heavy but short set due to his trouble using a calendar (haha), and Clash Gordon kept the party alive until the end of the night. A serious thanks to all that came out and a happy birthday shout out to Genna as well!

Be sure to check us out every month! It's only going to get crazier. Next month (12/16) we are stoked to have Annalyze headlining. You may not know her, but she's Lady Sovereign's touring DJ and a super awesome turntableist. Along with her, we're throwing a CD Release party for Keith MacKenzie of illeven eleven records. The dude is rad and plays all over the world. Team Bayside High will also be there to get the party started along with residents Kid Color and myself, Just Desserts. Best yet, it's all free before 10pm or only $3 all night long with rsvp. Oh, and $3 Syn Vodka all night as well!!
