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

Funky Tuesdays

You may know a girl by the name of Jillian Valentino. Not too long ago, she threw a weekly party with her pal Scott Cramer over at the Funky Buddha Lounge. Then one day, she decided Chicago was not fancy enough for her so she moved to the Big Apple. OK enough of this silly story. Jillian is back in town and it looks like Tuesdays at Buddha are back, on a bi-weekly basis. These photos were from the kick off party, which was coincidentally also her birthday celebration. Yello Fever played (with JoJo for once!), TomTomTom Boy played, Rotten Milk played and Lazer Crystal performed (they are really good!). As always, click the thumbnails to see the entire gallery!
