Peter
Rowan and Tony Rice come to The Shedd next
week. Rowan is a soulful singer and a poignant songwriter,
and Rice is a veteran of the David Grisman Quintet. Their
newest album, and first full-fledged recording collaboration,
You Were There For Me, came out Sept. 28, so you
could almost call this a CD release party. Music fans
should pack the house for this one. For more information
see Thursday, Oct. 7 Calendar and Brett Campbell's music
column this issue.
Iron
Jawed Angels, a HBO film about the fierce fight
for women's right to vote, shows in 150 Columbia at
the UO. This image depicts Alice Paul toasting
the suffrage banner celebrating the passage of the 19th
Amendment on Aug. 26, 1920. See Thursday, Oct. 7 Calendar.
First
Friday Artwalk is a free guided tour of downtown art galleries
and visual arts attractions. The first stop features the 2004
Mayor's Art Show at Jacobs Gallery. Next the walk moves to
White Lotus Gallery for work by Gary Tepfer. Then it's What
Does Family Look Like?, a photography exhibit at 25 W. 8th
Ave. The final stop is at DIVA for the Salon des Refusés.
Here's a portrait (left) showing in What Does Family Look Like?
See Friday Calendar.
Now
you see it, now you don't. The hand is quicker than the eye. Please
lie on the table and ignore the scream of the descending buzz
saw. Well, who knows the last time David Copperfield (left)
used the ol' buzz saw trick, as he's better known for his, shall
we say, larger-than-life illusions. You know, teleporting people,
making enormous objects disappear, walking through the Great Wall
of China, stuff like that. He's coming to the Hult Center to perform
new spectacles, such as sleight of hand with a "lethal black African
scorpion," squeezing himself into a shape that could "fit into
a Prada shoebox," and an interactive event where he helps audience
members predict lottery numbers. See Sunday Calendar.
