"Wal-Mart: the High Cost of Low Prices," Two Local Screenings

Robert Greenwald, the documentary filmmaker who made "Outfoxed" and several other films, has recently released a film about Wal-Mart called, appropriately, "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price." Evidently, he managed to get interviews with several former executives and to tour some of the factories where Wal-Mart produces its goods.

Greenwald has a very 21st century distribution model: he sells dvds of his films very cheaply and encourages people and organizations to hold free screenings. For this film, over 6000 screenings have been organized during the week of November 13th. We were happy to see that two have already been scheduled in Green Bay. If you're interested, the times and locations are listed at walmartmovie.com. They encourage you to RVSP.

Fabulous Walnut Burgers

Walnut patties served on organic whole wheat bread with grilled zucchini and herbed mayo. These are the second best sandwiches in the entire world.

Flavorful tomato soup, served cold! Just the thing for a hot, Summer day.

August 16th, Jana Holland, 8 pm: Jana Holland is one of our favorite musicians (and customers!) to play at Kavarna from time to time. She's brings a lot of energy to the room with her well written and beautifully sung music. You can hear some of her music here.

August 30th, Jeanne Kuhns and Lynn Gudmundsen, 8 pm: Artist and Singer/Songwriter Jeanne Kuhns has recently released a brand new cd, and we're very happy to welcome her back to Kavarna. She'll be joined by violinist Lynn Gudmundsen. She's described on her website like this, "Jeanne Kuhns is a folk/blues singer, songwriter, and a passionate performer who conveys to her audiences her love of life, women's issues and nature. She has been influenced by folk, blues, and rock and these threads have been woven into her music. She carries her poetic lyrics to you with a voice that has a private, intimate quality, full and deep yet capable of sliding into a clear high falsetto. She breaches the topics of single motherhood, surviving abuse, and the beauty of the world around her with awe and humility and humor." Having seen her perform several times, I can only agree. She's an amazing singer, and I'm looking forward to seeing her with Lynn Gudmundsen! Evening begins at 8 pm.

September 20th, Bill and Riki Schulz
