UPDATE May 1 2006: If you get a chance please read this press release on this report. Here's an example heading: The Hospital as A Coercive Intimating, Abusive, and Traumatizing Environment. The report was organized by the Coalition Against Psychiatric Assault and put out by the Canadian Alliance for Rights on Health Care. Psychiatric assault is right - some that include death - which should put these charlatans behind bars - if only Ontario's police services actually took s. 15 of the Charter seriously.

I've been under the weather lately - just a chest cold & fever. I could use some more rest for a few more days so I won't be posting for the remainder of the week.

I wan't to promote this documentary until Friday anyway.

For those of you who are out of town and want to catch the film it starts at 7:30 pm - the poster is noted a half hour earlier but that's ok it's a trick we French Canadians have learned to get us places at the right time.

If you do decide to come to the screening it should end by about 8:30 pm. There may or may not be a discussion at the end of the film - this will depend on the audience. It's only intended as a screening and not a thesis motivator. That means I won't be giving a talk just a basic introduction and perhaps some anecdotal information the end of the film.



Jamesville Art Crawl

Sky Dragon is less than a block from Jackson Square which is on James Street you can check out Jamesville's infamous art crawls that is happening the same night. If you take a right North on James (that means turning right off of King William - and yes there is parking right across the street from Sky Dragon for a cost-??).

You can park anywhere on James Street between Cannon and Barton. There will be a number of galleries with co-ordinated openings in this stretch - just watch for the throngs of curious art gawkers and buyers. Many Hamilton artists are a very clever bunch - they have tapped into creating small pieces for small cost to fit tight art collecting budgets to larger pieces for the serious investor.

Here's a few in Jamesville with links to wet the whistle: Mixed Media, Blue Angel Gallery, Loose Canon Gallery, You Me Gallery, Hamilton Artists Inc.

There are galleries popping up in this area almost every month and each crawl brings more and more art investors to the area - so keep in touch with these links - you won't find Jamesville's art crawls mentioned in The Spec.
