One of Woody Allen's most beloved and original films, The Purple Rose of Cairo is both a heartbreaking look at the difference between fantasy and reality and a bittersweet acknowledgment of the movies' ability to give succor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: Dryden website, 2012-Nov-26]<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Kashka<\/strong>, very good, experimentally-daring acoustic soloist <strong>Seth Faergolzia<\/strong> (in a solo loop-based pop project), <strong>A Victory for Upfish<\/strong>, and <strong>Ben Morey<\/strong> will be a the <strong>Bug Jar<\/strong> tonight starting around 9 p.m. <em>[source: Bug Jar calendar, 2012-Nov-26]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Really good blues-charged rock from <strong>Buford and Smokin' Section<\/strong> will perform at <strong>Dinosaur<\/strong> tonight starting around 10 p.m. <em>[source: Dinosaur Bar-B-Que website, 2012-Nov-26]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here's what's going on this week:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2091],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1503","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-jayceland-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1503","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1503"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"http:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1503\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1535,"href":"http:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1503\/revisions\/1535"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1503"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1503"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/jayceland.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1503"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
