on July 11. Eugene Weekly sends Mr. Quasthoff its best wishes for
a speedy recovery. See Friday Calendar.

The 11th Annual KLCC benefit,
“KLCC in Bloom: Personal
Palettes,” will take place
Sunday, rain or shine. Garden
enthusiasts are invited to
explore eight “living paint-
ings” executed on garden-
canvases large and small in
three Eugene neighborhoods.
Tours of the gardens will fea-

own beauty, as well as live
music, massage chairs and
garden art. See Sunday

The Bijou Arts Cinema and Cinemark will open Michael Moore’s
much-anticipated, controversial new film, Fahrenheit 9/11 , this
week. Moore has employed veteran fact-checkers and attorneys
to vouch for the accuracy of the film’s facts, although the film is
Moore’s opinion, not a news report. See Movie Clips.
The Holmes Brothers perform at the
WOW Hall in support of their new CD,
Simple Truths. Ever since they first joined forces
and started performing together in 1979, The Holmes
Brothers have been bringing their brand of gospel-inflected,
spiritually moving and funky music to audiences around the
world. See Tuesday Calendar.
