THE REVOLUTION STARTS NOW!
featuring The Chatty Boyz
Thursday Sept. 9th
7-9PM
“They” said it couldn’t be done and that The Chatty Boyz would never be allowed to “defile” the airwaves again…well obviously “they” were wrong because for the The Chatty Boyz are back!
Tune in Thursday night for the “The Revolution Starts Now” featuring for the return of “The Chatty Boyz,” featuring WSLR’s Dr. Nik and Gumbo Charly filling in for the newly wed Joe Jacco. show.
Who knows what kind of show it will be! Your guess is as good as theirs ’cause the boyz don’t even know themselves… they’ll just light up the “on air” button and start wingin’ it.

Film Screening: “No Impact Man”
Tuesday, September 14th, 7-9pm
Location: Unitarian Universalist Church of Sarasota, 3975 Fruitville Road
Author Colin Beavan, in research for his next book, began the No Impact Project in November 2006. A newly self-proclaimed environmentalist who could no longer avoid pointing the finger at himself, Colin leaves behind his liberal complacency and vows to make as little environmental impact as possible for one year.
No more automated transportation, no more electricity, no more non-local food, no more material consumption…no problem. That is, until his espresso-guzzling, retail-worshipping wife, Michelle, and their two year-old daughter are dragged into the fray. What began as one man’s environmental experiment quickly becomes an experiment in how much one woman is willing to sacrifice for her husband’s dreams. Laura Gabbert and Justin Schein’s film provides both a front-row seat into the experiment that became a national fascination and media sensation, and a behind-the-scenes look at the marital challenges that result from Colin and Michelle’s radical lifestyle change.
