Synopsis: Inspiré et curieux par les habitudes négligentes des Américains d’envoyer de la nourriture parfaitement comestible au dépotoir, le documentaire DIVE!, qui a déjà reçu plusieurs prix, suit le cinéaste Jeremy Seifert et ses amis dans leur « dumpster diving » aux fins fonds des ruelles et des poubelles clôturées de super marchés de Los Angeles. Dans cette récupération, ils trouvent une abondance de nourriture parfaitement comestible, équivalent à des milliers de dollars. Ceci a comme résultat un documentaire exaltant qui est autant divertissant, du journalisme guerilla et un appel à l’action.

Nous offrons des projections gratuite de documentaire de nature politique une fois par mois.

Stellar Cellar sing-a-long - Kount Rotttula


The Victory
By Josue Goguen 

Sometimes, when you want to win, you got to go for it. No fear, no regrets. This is a story about a contest. The prize: a one hundred dollar bar tab. The rules: Use a banana to get the loudest cheer from the crowd.

It was a new year's eve in a dingy rock and roll bar, I was in my early twenties. The evening had a host that had asked asked for three volunteers to go up on stage for a contest. While people raised their hands and he picked out of the crowd, I simply hopped on stage and told him I was ready. He decided to let me participate. It was me against two other dudes. He gave us each a banana and said whoever could get the most cheers would win a one hundred dollar bar tab.

First up, contestant number one took his banana and held it where his wiener is situated. Pretending it was his penis, he waved it at the crowd. While an obvious move, he got a fair amount of cheer going. Up next, contestant number two went a different direction. He casually peeled his banana and then went on to eat it. Classy, unexpected, and clever in it's own rights, he got cheered on very little. This crowd wanted to be entertained, they wanted to be shocked and I was aware of this.

Now it was my turn. I had no idea what I was about to do but I was far from nervous. At that moment, I was a winner. I was unstoppable. I took my banana and placed it as deep in my mouth as I could. After performing a demonstration fellatio, I peeled the banana using my mouth. As the crowd cheered on, I made it clear I was not quite done by loosening my belt. I pulled down my pants. Ever so slightly but still enough for my ass to be bare. I bent over, and then proceeded to shove the banana up my butthole. Of course, since this was a peeled banana, there was no penetration, but it did leave smudged banana all over my ass. I then pulled my pants and took much pride in the amount of applause I had managed to build up.

I won the bar tab which was then gone by the end of the night. At that moment, victory had never been so sweet. The next morning, however, victory had never felt so harmful to my body. I woke up, still drunk, and ran to the bathroom. My bowels had never been so aggressive to get something out of my body. I sat on the toilet and tried to piece the previous night together. I was making very little progress at putting the pieces together when I looked down. I saw my underwear down to my ankles, filled with a dried up brown substance. “I'm never drinking again”, I told myself, “I can't believe I shat my pants”. This was a very low point for me. I was embarrassed and never wanted to see anyone ever again. I hopped in the shower to clean up when it hit me. Banana. That's not shit, it's banana. My sense of shame then turned, once again, to a sense of glory. “I'm a winner”, I thought to myself.

Never be afraid to be a winner.

Bring up Al Tuck’s name to any Canadian music insider, and you’d better find yourself a comfortable chair. Feist suspects that he might just be a living legend. Jason Collett called him the greatest songwriter of his generation. He is an awesome encyclopedia of popular music, a roving troubadour and after almost 20 years in the business is one of Canada’s true hidden musical treasures.

http://davidrelliott.bandcamp.com/

David R. Elliott is a whiskey sour of love, anguish and reckless abandon. The Saint John native’s latest release is called Rearrange, a virtual cenotaph of jagged country crooning, reflections on mortality and tragic heartbreak. Rearrange was recorded at Echo Chamber Studios in Halifax, NS by Charles Austin and produced by Halifax songwriter Mike Trask. Since it's release in March of 2013 David R. has been traveling Canada engaging audiences with his story-filled sets, has received rave reviews of the album and was awarded Best Male Artist at the Saint John Music Awards. He's an eclectic songwriter with a working class aesthetic that evokes classic country and folk songwriters, anchored in an enduring pop sensibility. And once he put up a tent for Al Tuck.

http://ryanhillier.bandcamp.com/

Ryan Hillier is an exploratory songwriter - roving, wandering through territory both strange and familiar. A devout autodidact, he began writing songs in 2008 on a 40-year-old electric guitar with two strings, quickly developing a keen sense of timing and turn of phrase. Drawing on a deep well of inspiration, Hiller crafts honest songs that take turns through folk, blues, and psychdelia, encountering subjects ranging from love across time and space to the pitfalls of fatalism. While citing infuences from Neil Young to The Crystals to Al Tuck, his style and lyrics evoke the charm and wisdom of a well-traveled Maritimer.

See You OUT!!
