This year we decided that we would hide out at home and celebrate National Dumbworld Day quietly, instead of braving the the long lines at bars and craziness that such a day usually causes. However you celebrated it, we hope that you had a good time, were safe and remember the real reason why we celebrate.
Sacramento painter, David Garibaldi is premiering his documentary “Walking Dreams” and performing live at the Sacramento Film and Music Festival on July 29th at 7:30pm at the Crest Theater. I met David in 2003 when he used to paint on Wednesday nights at the Fox and Goose. Even then, before his success, his story was pretty inspirational.
His paintings from the night will be auctioned off with the proceeds to benefit the Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commision and their Advance Commuinty Through Arts and Culture program. See the trailer for Waking Dreams below and go to his blog to purchase tickets and get the rest of the story.
As a follow up to this post, Sacramento area filmmakers, KeJo Production’s thriller Rogue River is screening at the Sacramento Film and Music Festival on July 31st at 8pm at the Crest Theater. There will be an after-party across the street at the Cosmo Cafe, following the screening. Noticeably missing is a trailer for the movie. Come on guys, post a trailer, so I can link to it! But for now, below is a behind the scenes video.
What is the significance of 080910? It is the date that National Dumbworld Day happens to fall on this year. Nothing significant will probably happen on that day. No parades (like last year). No free give-aways. No handing out turkeys to the less fortunate or knocking on strangers doors and asking for free candy. Nothing. But know that Dumbworld still loves you and holds you dear to its heart.
