Also, I want to let you know about a few upcoming events in the 
universe of Stay F---!:


BROOKLYN

Friday, June 4, 8 pm:

In conjunction with the Brooklyn Underground Film Festival, Stay 
F---! is sponsoring a screening of WIZARD PEOPLE, an unauthorized 
re-envisioning of HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE. WIZARD 
PEOPLE uses the entire visual portion of the first Harry Potter 
movie, but with the genius narration of Austin artist Brad Neely in 
place of the original sound. We think Neely has crafted an 
as-of-yet-unnamed new art form, one everyone should experience for 
themselves.

For those of you not in New York, the audio portion of Wizard People 
can be downloaded from Stay F---!'s Illegal Art Exhibit site:

At The NEST
88 Front Street (@Washington), Dumbo, Brooklyn

NOTE: If anyone knows young Harry Potter fans who plan on going to 
this (particularly teenagers), please let me know; we know a reporter 
who wants to interview them.
