Jacques Leslie will discuss today's global water situation. Renowned reporter and writer, Mr. Lesilie is uniquely posed to offer what we must understand to create critical, decisive change. He will read from his Harper's Magazine cover story on water scarcity, his book Deep Water, and other recent investigative work.

It was water and the damming of water which created the contemporary struggles between our industries and our natural world. The conflicts still rage where they started here at Hetch-Hetchy and continue on globally where the consequences are pertinent to us all.

For the last decade Jacques Leslie has been writing narrative nonfiction about the world’s most pressing environmental problems. His Harper’s Magazine cover story, “Running Dry: What Happens When the World Runs Short of Freshwater?” was included in The Best American Science Writing 2001 and was a finalist for the John B. Oakes award in environmental journalism. Leslie continues his exploration of water issues in his book, Deep Water: The Epic Struggle Over Dams, Displaced People, and the Environment, published by Farrar, Straus & Giroux. Deep Water won the J. Anthony Lukas Work-in-Progress Award, was named one of the top science books of the year by Discover Magazine, and was a finalist for the Northern California Book Award in nonfiction. His most recent extended effort is the cover story of Mother Jones Magazine’s January/February 2008 issue, called “The Last Empire: Can the world survive China’s rush to emulate the American way of life?” A letter to the editor called it “the best article I've read in the last 10 years—on any subject—in any magazine.”

Mr. Leslie began his journalism career covering the Vietnam War for the Los Angeles Times. He won the Sigma Delta Chi award for foreign correspondence and an Overseas Press Club citation for his work during two years in Vietnam and Cambodia. He was also expelled from South Vietnam after reporting numerous exclusive stories, including becoming the first American journalist to enter and return from Viet Cong territory in South Vietnam. After Vietnam, he was stationed successively in Phnom Penh, Washington, New Delhi, Madrid, and Hong Kong, and was twice nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. He wrote a book about his experiences called The Mark: A War Correspondent’s Memoir of Vietnam and Cambodia, published in 1995. He also won the 2006 Drunken Boat Pan-Literary Award in Nonfiction for a narrative nonfiction story about a shoe repairman in his home town, Mill Valley, California.

Wind in the Bamboo
Year of the Mouse!

Koto master Elizabeth Falconer will grace Red Hill on Tuesday evening, July 29th with a beautiful show of music and stories. Be sure to bring kids to hear Japanese mouse stories and more, as Elizabeth and her six-foot dragon instrument called Koto share music and engaging puppet stories. Recommended for ages 4 and up.

Listen to the sounds of the zen shakuhachi bamboo flute and the classical Japanese koto harp in a mesmerizing program of music and poetry. Haiku poems by well-known Japanese poets are interwoven into the music of Duo En, a husband-wife performance duo who have lived in Japan for over a decade. A unique and inspired layering of culture by two Seattle-based artists touring the Bay Area.

Elizabeth Falconer has has earned numerous awards for her work combining Japanese folktales with original koto music and has produced over 10 albums on her label, Koto World. She enjoys collaborating with various artists and taking her koto into new situations, and has tourned internationally. She has performed her stories at the Smithsonian, numerous libraries, museums, schools and festivals. She can also be found performing with her husband John in the koto-shakuhachi Duo En in venues from small teahouses to international festivals. (More information is available at the EN website, www.duoen.com.)
Her elusive goal in life is to have the kitchen counter cleaned up for more than one day but so far, she has not been able to do it.

Mooning George Bush on his way out the door, we invite all to party with authors and illustrators of the brilliant new parody, Goodnight Bush at Red Hill.

The book rewards you handsomely for paying attention to both the details of Margaret Wise Brown's beloved children's classic and the details of George W. Bush's reviled, childlike national nightmare. It's got tons of sight gags and a text that is right on target.

It's authors, Erich Origen and Gan Golan will be on hand at Red Hill to talk about the making of the ultimate parody of not only a children's classic, but of a rather storied administration that is way past its bedtime. "Goodnight Constitution. Goodnight evolution."

Since Red Hill can throw out a grand old party with the best of them, Erich and Gan will be offering quite a bit of excitement before it's lights out. So come have some food, drink, enjoy some music and say goodnight!

The Edwin Johnson Award:
The Faithful Fools will be giving out the first Edwin Johnson Award. The Edwin Johnson Award has been created by Citizen Cinema and the Faithful Fools Street Ministry to honor an unsung Tenderloin hero. Edwin Johnson was a, once homeless turned homeless advocate, and a founding member of the Tenderloin yGroup Player's Ensemble. He appears in several of the 9 @ Night Films and embodies the spirit of this award. Edwin never forgot his life on the streets nor his friends there. His journey out of homelessness to advocate for the people of the Tenderloin is an example to us all. This special award recognizes an individual or group which embodies the spirit and dedication to others which is Edwin Johnson's legacy.

"If you get the gist of the 9 @ Night movies you get the gist of the Fools. That's where the rubber hits the road."
Reverend Dr. Kay Jorgensen, Co-Founder - Faithful Fools Street Ministry

Arrive early to enjoy wine and hors d'oeuvres before the show. Then head into Studio B at the ODC Commons for an intimate one-hour performance of some of ODC's most celebrated works. ODC choreographers Brenda Way and KT Nelson will be there to shed some light on the dancing you'll see on stage.

Pieces performed include:

Unintended Consequences: A Meditation (2008)
CHOREOGRAPHER, Brenda Way
Unintended Consequences: A Meditation, Brenda Way's piece commissioned by the Equal Justice Society, shines a critical light on the current state of political affairs and our inadvertent complicity in them.

Shenanigans (2005)
CHOREOGRAPER, KT Nelson
Shenanigans is a pas de deux for Private Freeman and Anne Zivolich with music by Darius Milhaud.

"Freeman and Zivolich are wonders to behold, with the strength, grace and control to make lightening transitions from floor to air, from running to rolling, from comedy to, well, near-tenderness contribute wonderfully to the sense of chaotic glamour." - San Francisco Chronicle

24 Exposures (2001)
CHOREOGRAPHER, Brenda Way
Set to a suite of pieces from the Appalachian recordings of Mark O'Connor/Yo-Yo Ma/Edgar Meyer, this piece celebrates the trajectory of the company's evolution from natural to virtuosic movement, from the elegance of form to the heat of personal relationships.

WHAT IS CON-X-TREME?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CON-X-TREME is volunteer-run event held this year over the extended Labor Day weekend at the San Mateo Marriott Hotel. The primary area of emphasis is focused on the creation of art and other media, traditional and non-traditional, without the limitation of holding true to a certain theme or topic.
While some may view this as simply it is another anime or science fiction convention event, the real opportunities this event brings forward is an opportunity for fans of all mediums to meet and network with both other fans and professionals alike. Whether it be physical art, virtual art, film & television, video games or music, CON-X-TREME attempts to have compelling, knowledgeable, and well-spoken Guests of Honor who are willing to spend time sharing their experiences within their respective industries, mentoring our attendees through discussion panels, classroom instruction, and other programming events.
Throughout each day of the weekend event, CON-X-TREME presents curriculum through a series of classroom programming where event members may participate in the discussion or hands-on study of particular subjects.
CON-X-TREME is not all classrooms, lectures, and study however, as we temper much of the proceeding with many other programming alternatives including, but not limited to, the following:
v A 24-hour anime programming room featuring professional and fan-created animation videos and programs;
v A room dedicated to premiering the latest in console and computer video games and technology;
v Dedicated space for costume gatherings and workshops which will culminate in a full costume contest event;
v Event space which promotes and displays artwork from many of the Bay Area’s most vibrant and popular artists;
All in all, CON-X-TREME aspires to provide opportunities for the truly creative side of fans and professionals to mix freely within an environment which inspires creativity and spontaneity.
