An interesting event that landed in my inbox:
Town Hall Seattle is hosting Jimmy Wales for a discussion of his book "The
Seven Rules of Trust: A Blueprint for Building Things That Last" on October
30 at 7:30 pm. Tickets start at $10 (+$3 fee) and are free for folks under
the age of 22.
https://townhallseattle.org/event/jimmy-wales/
Would be nice to have a contingent of Cascadia folks there. I plan to get
my ticket soon.

Hi Jenny,
- Joe Mabel has been our primary photo person, both as a photographer &
a Commons admin.
- I have been the primary Seattle Wikipedians / Cascadia Wikimedians
coordinator.
Is anyone else interested in being part of the team to coordinate with
WikiPortraits photographers? I am hoping to get something going with this
year's SIFF
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_International_Film_Festival>.
Yours,
Peaceray <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Peaceray>

just announced its lineup today. Quite a few emerging artists on there
without proper Wikipedia photos.
