... so go on over to:

and friend me so I can get rid of Tom. Please.
Also, don't forget to sign-up for the disTHIS! blog, whose inaugural
entry covers the buzz surrounding the boundary breaking documentary film,
called
The Crippendales, a
play on the risque all-male cabaret act The Chippendales, which puts a
group of disabled men on stage and turned them into *gasp*
strippers, in the manner of the hit film "The Full
Monty."
What do you think folks? Should we screen it?
Also, stay tuned for announcements tomorrow about our regular screening
on November 1st and our special event with Columbia University on
November 14th!
Best,

The disTHIS! Film Series:
disability through a whole new lens
showcases quality narrative, short, documentary and feature films with
disability themes beyond tiresome clichés. In other words, pride
instead of pity, character over charity and direction rather than
diagnosis. The movies screened as part of the disTHIS! monthly series
will sometimes be funny, occasionally sexy and maybe even a little
startling -- always provocative, never quite what you'd expect!
