Center Street Daze
by Brian Holmes and Janice Christensen
The date is set for September 25, rain or shine. It’s almost time again for Center Street Daze, Riverwest’s last street party of the year.
Late September is generally still mild in Wisconsin, warm with a slight nip in the air to let us know old man winter could be lurking only a few weeks away. Of course, residents of Wisconsin know this is complete speculation – Wisconsin weather is less predictable than the stock market. However, this bash on Center is dedicated and will go on regardless of weather conditions. This year the weather will be gorgeous, I can feel it.
Rasmalai Dreams

Rasmalai Dreams (62 minutes, Hindi with English subtitles, 2009), takes moviegoers into the headspace of contemporary Indian culture. It is a documentary, parody and travelogue rolled into an hour long feature which will make you scratch your head and laugh.

Editorial: Letter from Zagora
ED. NOTE: Every few months the Riverwest Currents receives a mysterious missive that seems to be from the future.
They come with clear instructions about how and when to publish them. The writer often refers to some kind of cause and effect notion – we need to print the letter now, so that something specific will happen, and the future of the letter will be the future that comes about. We’ve toyed with the idea that, if we didn’t print a letter, perhaps the future they come from would wink out of existence, and the letters would cease. We decided not to take that chance.
