The Saturday of Ebertfest was the last of the “big” days, which included three films: Higher Ground, Patang, and Take Shelter. After that, only one film remained unseen during the festival, so this was the day that Ebertfesters made their last big gatherings. Between Patang and Take Shelter, I wound …
I took a short walk this afternoon during a break at work, and stumbed across this little guy. This, my friends, is an Antheraea polyphemus, aka a Polyphemus Moth. It’s a member of the giant silk moth family, and belive it or not, they get even bigger than this. Full-sized adults …
I have yet to edit my photos from Ebertfest Day 4, so that post is yet forthcoming. In the meantime, please enjoy a few snaps I got on my iPhone over the last few days. (Click the images if you want to see them larger on Flickr.) I didn’t even …
And so we shall continue the Tale of Ebertfest 2012! On Day 3 of this fine event, I alternated films with vast quantities of food and alcohol. Mirko and I visited no less than five restaurants/bars on this day: Pekara Bakery and Bistro, Boltini, Destiehl, The Brass Rail, and, finally, …

Greetings once again from Ebertfest! Day 2 was slightly wonky. This was planned to be the Day of Patton Oswalt, as he had been scheduled to do a Q&A after the screening of Big Fan, and then he was going to present Kind Hearts and Coronets at the close of …
As mentioned in previous posts, I am currently at Ebertfest in Champaign, Illinois. Ebertfest is a fine little event that I first visited two years ago. Roger Ebert gathers a schedule of 12 films, a mixture of new and old, which he considers to be overlooked by the public. Many …
The last two days have brought me from Morgantown, West Virginia to Champaign, Illinois. The relaxing part of my vacation has ended. Bring on Ebertfest! Here are a few photos I snapped along my travels: Morgantown, West Virginia: “Ladybong Graffiti” will be the name of my reggae Ladysmith Black …
I’m still hanging out in West Virginia, relaxing as much as possible before the flurry of Ebertfest. Thus, I don’t have a whole lot to report, except for the fact that the movie Lockout was better when it was called Escape from New York. Here are some random photos: Canonsburg, …
