Mad City Chickens screens in Seattle October 10th!

Seattleites are right there on the cutting edge when it comes to urban sustainability, and backyard poultry are becoming more and more an integral part in this growing movement. Last June, Mad City Chickens enjoyed two sold out screenings in the Emerald City. Now, the Queen Anne Movie Guild is bringing the film back for another public screening on October 10th at 7:00pm, Queen Anne United Methodist Church, 1606 5th Ave, Seattle.

Nearly Sleepless in Seattle

Our trip to Seattle for the screening of Mad City Chickens was a such a fun filled experience that we can't wait for our next visit. It was a lively whirlwind of activity where we crammed a week's worth of experiences into two short days (not counting travel days).


We had a 3 hour layover in Minneapolis. Then our connecting plane was a few hours late. By the time we arrived in Seattle on Thursday night it was 2:00 am our time.

The founders of the Wallingford neighborhood-based Friday Night at the Meaningful Movies were our hosts, tour guides, and all around suppliers of some of the best hospitality we've experienced in our travels. Rick, Diane & Erica really made us feel at home.



The Friday night screening of MCC was enthusiastically received by almost 160 people despite the unseasonably beautiful weather outside.



On the radio at 7:30 the next morning. That's us and Angelina Shell of Seattle Tilth. What fun!



A visit to the downtown market to see the fish "tossed".



Free tasting at the Theo's Chocolate Factory!!!!



On Sunday we were up at 5:00 am and spent the whole day at airports again and on various flights to get back to Madison. The plane from Seattle to Detroit was staffed by an all male flight attendant crew and a female captain. Refreshing!




Due to a scheduling conflict, we weren't able to stay longer, but Mad City Chickens is still in Seattle. There is another screening tonight sponsored by Sustainable West Seattle, 7:00pm Youngstown Cultural Arts Center, 4408 Delridge Way SW.

Chicken Filmmakers on Seattle Radio

We had the pleasure this morning of joining Seattle Tilth's City Chickens Coordinator Angelina Shell on 90.3 KEXP, Seattle Community Radio. Mike McCormick, host of the popular Mind Over Matters show, led the discussion about keeping chickens in the city and how Seattle has been one of the leaders in the urban sustainability movement.

Listen to the mp3 file of today's radio program.

Nearly 160 Turn Up for Seattle Chicken Screening!

This is our first time in Seattle, and it certainly won't be our last. The Wallingford Neighbors for Peace and Justice were our hosts, and we've rarely felt more welcomed! Almost 160 people chose to ignore the unseasonably sunny skies and beautiful temperatures outside to take in the West Coast premiere of Mad City Chickens at the Friday Night at the Meaningful Movies film series. The screening was followed by a lively and informed discussion on city chickens, urban sustainability, and backyard goats--yes goats! Seattle is once again a leader in the sustainability movement by recently legalizing the keeping of up to 3 goats in the backyard.
