Hey, if you're in Portland, Oregon on Friday, December 10th and have nothing better to do, why not fall by the Northwest Film Center and take in a samurai film? Namely The Hidden Blade (2004), the second in Yoji Yamada's Samurai Trilogy. I'll be introducing the film; I also wrote a bit about it in Warring Clans, Flashing Blades. There will be a book-signing after the screening, so if you've already bought a copy (god bless you), bring it and I'll sign it. Otherwise, there will be copies available for purchase. See you there!

Best wishes for a great evening, which I'm sure it will be. Just wish I could be there. Love all three films in Yamada's "Samurai Trilogy."
There's a switch -- you wishing you could be out here. Film event-wise, I still think you've got the better deal ... !
Thanks, Stan. :)
