Hello all.  As you know, Blindsight is a movie that features an amazing 
woman from Germany named Sabriye Tenburken, the school she started in
Tibet 
for the blind, and the trek she, 6 students and Eric Weinmeyer took up a
23 
thousand foot mountain neighboring Mount Everest.  Some of you may have 
heard Sabriye on my show recently; she is an amazing woman.

Blindsight opens this Friday in Seattle, and WCB will have a presence
there. 
Not only are we trying to get as many folks out to see the movie as 
possible, but we will have a table with our brochures, our new and cool
WCB 
banner, and a Brailler with cards to write the names of passers-by who
wish 
to see their name in Braille.  You can help with some of this or none of
it 
and just come see the movie.  here are the details.  I will get more 
details, such as the movie length in order for  folks to schedule
effective 
transit.  Patt Copeland is looking around at possible pre-movie dinner 
spots, and I'll get back with you on that as well.  For now what I need
is 
to hear from folks who want to see this audio described movie.  the
theatre 
is very willing to work with us and they want to ensure that everyone
who 
needs one has a headset with which to hear the audio description.

Please respond to me off list, that means don't hit reply to all, just 
reply, control r.  i don't want to flood the list with too much traffic.


Blindsight will open on Friday April 11th at the Metro Cinema
4500 9th Ave. NE Seattle WA 98105. ( in the University District. ) The
times 
the
movie will play are:
12:50
3:40 PM
6:30 PM (which is the time we are suggesting for our outing)
9:00 PM


Warmly,

Marlaina

Today is a gift; that's why it is called the present.
