Sou’Wester Lodge screens
‘Sometimes a Great Notion’
SEAVIEW, Wash. — The
Sou’wester Lodge will host
a public screening of “Some-
times a Great Notion” at 7
p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 30.
The movie, adapted from
Ken Kesey’s epic novel
about a defiant family of
loggers, starred Paul New-
man and was filmed on the
Central Oregon Coast during
the summer of 1970. The
film was released in 1971
to an indifferent nationwide
audience but remains a cult
classic in the Pacific North-
west.
Astoria writer Matt Love,
author of “Sometimes a
Great Movie: Paul Newman,
Ken Kesey and the Filming
of the Great Oregon Nov-
el,” will introduce the movie
and take questions after the
screening. He will also dis-
cuss new revelations about
the legend of whether New-
man cut the legs off a tavern
pool table with a chainsaw
during the production.
The screening will also
feature home movie footage
of the production as well as

SEAVIEW, Wash. — The
Sou’Wester Lodge will host
Portland band BlueFlags
& BlackGrass for a perfor-
mance at 8 p.m. Saturday,
Dec. 26. The show is free
and open to the public.
BlueFlags & BlackGrass’
sound can be summed up as
modern American skiffle. It
combines jug band and rag-
time of the 1920s and 1930s
with bluegrass, viper jazz
and a hint of Irish/gypsy
twang.
The band was born in
the spring of 2011 in Port-
land. The usual suspects of
band members is more than
a dozen people jamming on
different instruments, but
a typical gig features Flip
McGuire — on vox guitar,
banjo and resophonic guitar
— and whoever else is avail-
able at the time.
The band is influenced by
Baby Gramps, Mississippi
Sheiks, Memphis JugBand,
Tom Waits,
CrowQuill
NightOwls, Gallus Brothers,
Conjugal Visitors, Bessie
Smith, Django Reinhardt,
Holy Modal Rounders,
Pogues, Leon Redbone and
Rollin’ Joe Jordan.
The Sou’Wester Lodge is
located at 3728 J Place. For
more information, call 360-
642-2542.
