An LA Times story the other day says a settlement looks close in the lawsuit against an LA vote to require porn actors to wear condoms. The original post was in 2012 when voters approved the measure, and there was a follow up in 2013 when the first court decision came out. Apparently the condoms will stay, but the enforcement will be weaker.
And this year's Anchorage Folk Festival poster was done by Paxson Woelber, who I interviewed in 2009 when two of his short animations were in the Anchorage International Film Festival. And don't miss the last night of the festival - Sunday, starting at 7pm at Wendy Williamson auditorium at UAA. Jeffrey Broussard & the Creole Cowboys will play again. The festival is free and it's one of the events that makes Anchorage a great place to live.
Is this part an update? Well, the poster leads to the festival and I've got posts from previous folk festivals.
2015.
2014.
2011.
2011. This one has Kabala Shish Kebab.
2008. Cajun and Creole is pretty popular up here.
There's a bit of video from Friday night to give you a sense of what they're like. And only a sense, since I recorded this with my tiny Canon Powershot. If you go to the festival, you'll get to hear their sound for real. They'll be a number of other acts before them, you can come when you want. Friday the auditorium was packed.
