Documentary film maker Gino DelGuercio will host the second in a series of documentary films at the Ames Free Library tonight at 6:30. Tonight's film is the Oscar winning "Man on a Wire." The film was released in 2008 and documents the never to be duplicated 1974 feat by Phillip Petit when he wire walked between the two towers of the World Trade Center for 45 minutes.
This is a very special documentary of an exhilarating event. I once had a summer job where I had to climb 50 feet up a ladder to paint a third floor of a house. That was scary enough. I can't imagine walking on a cable 1350 feet above New York. I vaguely remember this exploit which unfortunately for Mr. Petit occurred on the day Nixon resigned. Can't wait for 6:30!
Welcome
A curiosity shop is a place of odds and ends in a wide range of categories. One never knows what one will find on any visit, and that is the goal of this blog. Here you'll find postings on doings around Easton, the world's environment, history, recipes, fly fishing, books, music, and movies with many other things thrown in as well.
