Flowers Without Roots: a critical yet celebratory look at being lost, feeling mixed-up, and not having answers.

Join us for an evening of cob oven pizza, music, poetry, and film we have put together as a benefit for Land of the Lost (lotlmovie.com), an independent feature film being made in Olympia.

Neal Marks, Tripp Talley, Brandon Boyd, and Giselle Garcia start the evening with a musical serenading session to aid your digestion. Liz Donahue, Sophie Gordon, and Lucy Hulbert will then read an assortment of their recent favorite works of poetry. We will then close with In Pursuit of Panama (inpursuitofpanama.com), a documentary about two life-long friends who embark on a seven-country road trip and document the endeavor in a struggle to recapture the clear and simple spirit of their childhood, and find its proper place, if any, in their emerging adulthood.

$10 for all the magic three hours can hold. Begins at 7:30pm at Fertile Ground (311 9th Ave, Olympia). June 5th.

The Olympia Free Herbal Clinic is an umbrella project of Done & Done 501(c)3. We're raising funds to open a free clinic at the Bread & Roses Advocacy Center during the summer of 2008. We hope to have walk-in hours one to two days per week. We'll offer education, personalized health consultations, botanical remedies and other supplies free of charge. We serve to empower anyone and everyone, regardless of financial or other circumstances, to take charge of their own health care.

New employees, a new menu and a new atmosphere have been expertly implemented in to the nightside equation! So come check out the raucous and risotto - prices are reasonable, and the food is ever so delectable. in addition to these epic changes, they have recently received their liquor license, which will be in effect very soon. Come have a beer and a burger! Meddle with the Nighthawks!
