Come hear some of the West's best storytellers, artists and filmmakers talk about animals, and see a series of incredible SHORT FILMS (from a vintage animation about a marijuana-loving dog to pretty much the best anti-drinking PSA ever, featuring actual cat actors, all from the archives of Oddball Films). This is a celebration of animal minds on the fringe, hosted by Laurel Braitman (author of Animal Madness: How anxious dogs, compulsive parrots, and elephants in recovery help us understand ourselves) who thinks that normalcy is awfully overrated. There will be live story-telling, poetry about shih-tzus, an appearance by the Oregon Department of Kickass, the amazing human-and-other-animal photographer Corey Arnold, art by the clients of Creative Growth Art Center and more, more, MORE!

Beer, wine and delicious cocktails (inspired by cures for rabies): $2-4 dollars.

Doors (and bar) open at 6pm. Show starts at 7pm.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF.
