Hey, how's it going? Going to drink a lot of tequila and beer on Saturday? Us too, we hope. We might need to drown our significant sorrows if we catch up with the Southeast European Film Festival tonight, which promises to be stirring. While most people are Coachella'd out, Saturday's gigantic Country Music Festival in Indio seems to have something for alla the cowboys and buffalo gals, whether of the Bakersfield or Silverlake kind. We're most significantly stoked about Restitution Press' showing with R. Crumb this Saturday night in Pasadena. If you haven't had a chance to check out their silkscreened 'zines, be warned, you might want to make love to them, they feel and look that good. Viva la fiesta!
