2pm, Little Kresge: Chasin' Gus' Ghost</b></font></blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial"><i>Chasin' Gus'
Ghost</i> is a documentary film on the history of jug bands and their
influence on American music, portrayed through interviews, live
performances, archival footage, and photographs. Modern interviewees
include John Sebastian from the Lovin' Spoonful, Bob Weir from the
Grateful Dead, Annie Raines, and others. Following the
screening, the film's director Todd Kwait will answer audience
questions, and then introduce jug band<i> Outrageous Fortune</i> for a
live performance. The audience is heartily encouraged to stick
around afterward to jam with the band, so c'mon down for some
foot-stompin' fun!</font></blockquote>
