Tickets for Brunswick x2
The trailer for Brunswick.
Drawing's closed! Winner's been emailed!
The new documentary Brunswick -- about a farmer, local politics, and the tension between farming and development in Rensselaer County -- will be screened for the first time at the Spectrum next Wednesday (December 7). It's already sold out.
This Sunday at 7 pm, Matthew Carefully will be performing the music he composed for the Brunswick soundtrack at Caffe Lena. We're guessing it will be a packed house.
You still can go to both the screening and the concert -- because we're giving away a pair of tickets to both of them. To enter the drawing, please answer this question in the comments:
If could grow anything, what would it be?
Of course, "anything" in this case could be fruits or vegetables. It could also be... well... anything. Creative answers encouraged.
We'll draw one winner at random. That person will get a pair of tickets for each event. And if you could attend both, that would be extra swell.
Here's a bit more about Brunswick, which is directed by Nate Simms. And here's more from Matthew about the soundtrack. Bonus: the Caffe Lena show's opener is Bailiwick.
Important: All comments must be submitted by 10:30 am on Thursday (December 1, 2011) to be entered in the drawing. You must answer the question to be part of the drawing. One entry per person, please. You must enter a valid email address (that you check regularly -- seriously, if you win, we want to give you the tickets) with your comment. The winner will be notified via email by noon on Thursday and must respond by 9 am Friday (December 2).

I'd like to "grow" bees. I have been researching the feasability of bee keeping.

I'd say I'd grow more garlic, but since I had to downsize that to about 7,000 head for next year, I'm going to go with time (which would allow me to grow more garlic). Is that some kind of loop?

I'd grow a headful of hair. I miss the days of long, wavy locks. 8-(

I think I would like to grow sunshine. Who wouldn't like to pick a little ball of sunshine and hold it in their hand?

Time. It would look like the most beautiful roses, all different colors on one bush. Then you'd harvest the "rose hip" part and make a tea that would taste like a cross between butterscotch and snozzberries. You'd drink some and your days would feel a little longer, the good times would linger, and on new years you wouldn't have to say, "where did last year go? It just flew by!"
They'd be really finicky though, you'd have to water with tears of joy, dust them with finely ground bad memories to keep the pests off, and they'd need at least 1 hour of direct rainbow per day.
