We've reported on this before, so this is just a timely reminder: this Sunday, April 27, Cinema 21 in Portland (616 NW 21st Avenue, phone 503-223-4515) is holding a fundraiser for critic, author, and Screengrab contributor D. K. Holm. The website says that Holm, who has written books on Robert Crumb and Quentin Tarantino, "is suffering from a very treatable case of esophageal cancer. However, he is also, as he puts it, 'the American nightmare' -- uninsured and facing thousands of dollars in medical bills for chemotherapy and surgery." The event will include a silent auction and entertainment including a "compilation of D.K. Holm's many appearances in the films of James Westby" and "Portland luminaries reading some of D.K.’s most deliciously vitriolic reviews and hate mail." Those who may be able to unable--if say, you, like some of us, have the misfortune to not live in Portland--but would like to make your presence felt on the dance floor can send contributions directly to D. K. Holm at P.O. Box 4146, Portland, OR, 97208-4146.
