1. Karin Lee talks about Comrade Dad, an experimental documentary film about her father Wally Lee and the communist bookstore he ran in the downtown eastside. The film is very enlightening on the waxing and waning of ideas, revealing glimpses of the filmmaker and an inside look at our Saltwater City. We hope our presentation does too.     
 
2. By request, a repeat of Rita Wong talking with Wayson Choy about queerness and activism. There's good chemistry as they talk about outing "isms" and how outing one can help out them all. Rita took on interviewin Wayson just minutes prior to tape. Terrific job. 
 
3. The Running Dog Lackey with Total Mess to close the show. Taped at the Interurban Gallery, the Lackeys are Sean Gunn on electric bass, Wayne Soon on drums and Keegan Chen on electric guitar. Rock and roll at its rawest.
