Said Alex Zaffron, "people in the Music and Arts communities have been expressing great alarm at the direction this administration has taken our country--mindless militarism, combined with hostility to freedom of expression have led many to wonder how they can contibute to the campaign for change. So Dave and I thought that bringing voters and performers together in this show would be an ideal w ay to help in the effort to bring change this November".

Imagine my suprise when
Imagine my suprise when about 135 minutes into The Corporation, who should turn up on the screen at a speech but our own former Chapel Hill Town Council Member Pat Evans! Pat was among hundreds attending a speech on corporate responsibility at NCSU by Ray Anderson (CEO of the world's largest carpet manufacturer). Ray describes himself as a "plunderer" for taking resources from the earth and giving back nothing but pollution. His company, Interface Inc., has now pledged to become completely sutainable by 2020.
I wonder how Pat enjoyed the speech? Was her husband (former dean of the UNC business school) there?
No s..t! As an aside, some
No s..t!
As an aside, some interesting people-watching as all the local big whoozits schmooze here at the Artscenter for Ken Broun's birthday--Chilton included.
(I'm here working for a living).
