The Currier Museum of Art holds events on the first Thursday of every month. Tonight New Hampshire filmmaker Bruce Posner will be there to discuss the recenty found and digitally-restored film Manhatta. It’s an experimental documentary shot in lower Manhattan in 1921. The New York Times says the film “evoked a typically epic day in the life of New York”. The film was a collaboration between photographers Paul Strand and Charles Sheeler, whose objective was to explore the relationship between photography and film.

You can see this time capsule, long believed lost, tonight.

And now to some thoroughly disappointing news…

Thanks to our listeners, Olivia the cat, our contestant in the Granite State Girls competition got enough votes to reach number 21… meaning that her picture would appear in the organization’s calendar. Well, Olivia is no longer in the running. Her profile was deleted this morning without a note of explanation. Clearly she posed a threat and might have licked the other contestants.

We feel this smacks of species-ism, and we’re waiting to hear the reason why Olivia was eliminated. Harrrummph…
