Moisture Festival Benefit Show for the Experimental Education Unit

November 17th, Moisture Festival hosted a special benefit show for the kids and families of the Experimental Education Unit (EEU).  "The goal of the classroom programs at the Experimental Education Unit is to provide a positive educational experience to children with diverse abilities in a setting that enhances the strengths and supports the needs of all the children in our program."

Moisture Festival created a unique matinee variete show for the families of EEU students while James Schmidt of Pecado Bueno provided underwriting support and a scrumptious taco bar that made kids of all ages happy.

All admissions proceeds from the event benefited the EEU. Through ticket sales and donations, this special event raised over $2400 for the EEU.

A huge shout-out and thank you to James and Pecado Bueno for underwriting this fantastic event, and a very happy holiday to our friends at the EEU and all the kids and families they help.

Betty Page Reveals All at SIFF on Thursday

This Thursday, SIFF presents a sneak peek of the incredible film Betty Page Reveals All, an intimate look at one of the world's most recognized sex symbols, featuring Bettie Page telling her story for the first time in her own words. With a stunning array of photographs, archival material and movie footage, the film shows how Page's unabashed sexual expression and provocative poses set the stage for the 1960s sexual revolution and ushered in a modern era in fashion.

December 5th's showing includes a Skype Q&A with director Mark Mori and pre-show performance from Miss Kitty Baby!

Bailey and Caela Bailey along with the Canote Brothers joined up to perform for their first time on the Snow Train this December.  Claire Nolan of Alki Tours is friends with Danny Milholland of Nanda who suggested she contact some Moisture Festival performers to entertain on the train this year.
