Best party theme ever! I love the building where the party's going to be. Creature's offices are in what used to be working artist housing, 1517 12th Ave., until the ubiquitous Hunters Capital kicked everyone out and converted to new-economy commercial space.

And apt that a company called Creature would choose that space. Back before the artists moved in (and then hastily out), this multi-story building made up the world's largest big-game taxidermy factory. Safari-killed creatures from all over the globe got stuffed and mounted here. Their mid-60s production pace was 2,000 heads a year and up to 1,500 full bears. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/a…

One of the interesting topics at film parties over the last few weeks, just overheard, has been how our current Mayor needs to listen more and not be so defensive.

Sigh
