Swing Time

Dexterous and risk-taking Lucky Garnett (Fred Astaire) pursues dancing and gambling with equal verve. Engaged to the pretty Margaret Watson (Betty more...0 Furness), Lucky gets pre-wedding nerves, which leads to the ceremony being called off. Margaret's father decides that Lucky can have a second chance at marrying her if he can make $25,000, so he heads to New York City to seek his fortune. When Lucky meets the beautiful dance teacher Penny Carroll (Ginger Rogers), however, his priorities soon change. This is the sixth pairing of Astaire and Rogers and is considered the best dancing of all their films. Join us Tuesday January 2nd at 7pm for this film classic. Join us every first Tueday of the month in the Radio Room to watch a classic cinematic treasure! Tickets will be $5. Popcorn, candy, and drinks will all be available for a great movie experience.

The Magpie bird is considered a shamanic bird, a link to the other worldly, primal realm of spirits, senses, and symbolism. This Magpie, the band, more...0 does something very similar. Their lyrical encoding speaks of grander ways hidden in simplicity which sedates us into a connectedness and assurance to the ear. Magpie is currently a duo consisting of songwriter Zach Dunn and multi-instrumentalist Matt Scibilia. They bring a rare depth and beauty with their high energy blend of folk rock. For just 2 creatures, they create an astonishingly full sound as Matt, part octopus, plays melodic bass lines on the keys with one hand, drums with the other appendages and sings harmonies all at the same time Zach peppers ripping lead harmonica lines over electric guitar and delivers lyrics with a certain grit and soul sure to bring on the warm fuzzy feelings.
