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

Creme de la Creme / Flosstradamus

Jesse Lee got me involved in the Lava Saturday weekly named Creme de la Creme a while ago, though I've only had a chance to make it out twice so far. This night featured a DJ set from Nigel aka Hollywood Holt along with the usual Saturday shenanigans. Mano, Willy Joy & Chuck Inglish are some of the other weekly resident DJs.

..

After an hour or so at Lava, Charlotte, Casey and myself headed over to Sonotheque for the monthly Flosstradamus party.  Josh and Curt were in town so they were there and behind the decks of the goofy Sonotheque DJ capsule.  Along with them Kyle aka Kid Color aka my Twitter stalker was playing some jams.

My new friend Ivy was also there, who I had just been introduced to by Richie Panic a week or two prior in San Francisco.  She came up and said hi and we both laughed at how crazy it was we ran into eachother.  You can see her blog over at grooveeffect.com
