DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE MOST RECENT ADDITIONS TO THE OUTING CLUB. I will restate them for the scroll-disabled:

**** Harvard Film Archive presentation of The Fast Runner (Atanarjuat) with the director and cinematographer in person. I have seen this film on my 9" TV and I KNOW that it is a different film on the big screen. The environment of northern Canada, the tundra, the ice pack, are as much a part of the story as the humans. It is an eye-opening experience. Friday, February 6, 7PM.

**** CRLS Drama Department production of Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chonicles tonight, Thursday, 7:15pm, at Cambridge Rindge & Latin School. UPDATE: The play was very timely. If you don't know about the story, it concerns America's exploration-occupation-usurpation of Mars from the Martians. Only in Cambridge would you see this kind of social commentary in high school drama. My high school did "Hello, Dolly!"... No social commentary there.

**** Cross-country ski workshop, hosted by Kate and sponsored by AMC. Saturday, January 31, 5 Joy Street, Boston, 8:30am. To register, call Kent: 617-523-0636 X337. UPDATE: This has been cancelled. Sorry.

**** Snowshoeing in Somewhere-ville-town-ford, NH on Sunday, February 1, 2004, at early o'clock in the morning Contact Eric or Kate for more details... you'll need them.

**** 2004 CRLS Science Fair needs judges! Tuesday, March 9, 2004 in Cambridge.

**** Postcard game fun. Correspond with your favorite person via inexpensive postcard. I've always been intrigued by those movie characters that carry on a chess game by mail... you know the ones. They feed pidgeons in the park and offer strange bits of wisdom and novelty phrases. I'm currently playing SCRABBLE by postcard. It's challenging and it takes a while (two weeks, three words), but patience is so retro now-a-days and, like silence, needs to be appreciated.
