On Wednesday night at the North Idaho College Student Union outdoor ampitheater, 6:30pm, bring a blanket and come watch the awesome "180 Degrees South: Conquerors Of The Useless" documentary. It's open to the public, the cost is $7 and it's free if you're a student. The film is inspired by Yves Chouinard’s 1968 trip to Patagonia and additionally tackles broader environmental themes and finding your place in the world. Filmmaker Jeff Johnson followed Chouinard’s footsteps and hitches a ride on a vessel to Patagonian Chile to climb a peak named Corcovado. “His hope is simply to find unclimbed mountains and un-ridden waves in the spirit of his heroes," said 180 Degrees South. “However, as he travels, his eyes open up to the see environmental disasters that threaten these places as well as the human triumphs that are working to save them.”

And the music is great with new songs by Ugly Casanova which gives me an excuse to post a performance from the film's premier last May of "Here's To Now."
