Thomas Dolby is currently on tour, and if you have any fondness for the man or his music, you’ll want to see this show. For that matter, if you have any interest in independent film-making, you’ll want to see this show. I saw it last night, and I’m still trying to process what I saw. This is slightly inconvenient, as the review I wrote of it is already online.
Dolby has made a film about the Suffolk coast where he grew up and now lives again, about being surrounded by history, about memory and story and impermanence. Then he left the film unfinished, so he can narrate and play it to small audiences with the help of a world-class sound designer.
And that is only one part of the evening in store for you if you go. Don’t miss it.
Stephanie Zvan is one of the hosts for the Minnesota Atheists' radio show and podcast, Atheists Talk. She serves on the board of Secular Woman. She speaks on science and skepticism in a number of venues, including science fiction and fantasy conventions.
Stephanie has been called a science blogger and a sex blogger, but if it means she has to choose just one thing to be or blog about, she's decided she's never going to grow up. In addition to science and sex and the science of sex, you'll find quite a bit of politics here, some economics, a regular short fiction feature, and the occasional bit of concentrated weird.
Oh, and arguments. She sometimes indulges in those as well. But I'm sure everything will be just fine. Nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.
You just took me back nearly thirty years, when I saw him in concert. I had no idea he was from my neck of the woods, here in the East of England! I looked up the details of the lighthouse and saw Shingle Street nearby. My favourite song from The Golden Age of Wireless was Cloudburst at Shingle Street.

Wow. While impossible that I’d be going to see him, I do regret not checking his site more often.
Holy smokes, is this a reference also to the Rendlesham Forest thingy?
In other news, Ben’s photo Tweet is linked on Dolby’s site landing page.
F, yes, that is prominently featured in the film, with a perspective many skeptics could learn from.
What an amazing performance!
Twee hee! That’s just a little bit of extra joy in my world.
