Ladies and gentlemen, this will be the last Diversions calendar. Next week, we will premiere a big "All Ages Action" page for the kids. From here on out, you'll have to find out about candlelight vigils, homemade porn advisors, and Tibetan medicine lectures your own damn selves.
SUNDAY 1/13
CIVIL LIBERTIES AND THE WAR ON TERRORISM--Len Schroeter, attorney and constitutional law expert, addresses the possibility that the greatest "casualty" of the current war on terrorism is the sanctity of civil liberties. Temple Beth Am, 2632 NE 80th, 11 am, free. For more information call 447-9301.
MONDAY 1/14
TIBETAN MEDICINE--Dr. Lisa Meserole, a naturopathic doctor in clinical practice and past Chair of Botanical Medicine at Bastyr University, will lecture on natural Tibetan medicine. Seeing as how springtime is just around the corner, the focus of this presentation will be "the treatment of springtime diseases." I wonder what herb keeps the Tibetans from falling in love. Sakya Monastery of Tibetan Buddhism, 108 NW 83rd St, 789-2573, 7 pm, $10.
TUESDAY 1/15
CANDLELIGHT VIGIL FOR THE HOMELESS--At the beautiful St. Mark's Cathedral, people will gather to offer support and sympathy to the homeless. Donations will be accepted, speeches will be made, candles will be lit, and music will be played by Rosy Betz-Zall and the Seattle Raging Grannies. St. Mark's Cathedral, 1245 10th Ave E, 7 pm. Call 368-2669 for more information.
HOMEMADE PORN ADVICE--The kind folks at AMVC would like to inform you that it's a lot more complicated than whipping out the rubbers and hitting "record." This Seattle-based company has 16 years of experience in the adult entertainment industry, and it beams with pride at how successful its marketing, distribution, production, and sales have been in recent years. AMVC's experts will let you know about the legalities, tools, and ethics of the business. Go to www.amvc.com or call 852-8529 for details.
