tuesday agenda : rumpus & the pig hunt
By josh
- The Rumpus, a new daily online culture magazine (i.e., a culture magazine that is online) started by Stephen Elliott and pals, is making its IRL debut in Seattle tonight. Start by getting happy at Vermillion, which is currently playing host to a collection of the Stranger’s most favorite rock posters, and continue at the Northwest Film Forum where they’ll be screening Pighunt. From the description — “the tale of a guy’s weekend of hunting gone wrong in the backwoods of Northern California, set amidst the chaos of marijuana, meth, rednecks, and a killer cult that worships a legendary 3,000 pound wild boar.” — it could be either hilarious or horrifying, likely both. The film will be bookended by readings from Ryan Boudinot (before) and a Q & A with the writer (Robert Mailer Anderson) and director (Jim Isaac) afterwards. If you can’t face the scary hog, return to Vermillion around nine for more, much-needed drinks. $15-30, 7pm screening. [brownpapertickets]
