DESCRIPTION:Friday, April 20.  7:00 PM.  Admission: $5.00\n\nJust in time for Earth Day 
 and the return of skyrocketing gas prices!\nThe End of Suburbia: Oil 
 Depletion and the Collapse of The American Dream\nSpeakers TBA (check 
 www.shiny-object.com/screenings/ for updates)\n\nLocation: Fools Foundation 
 - 1025 19th St. Off of K St, between 19th and 20th, next to the back-end of 
 Old\nSpaghetti Factory.\n\nSince World War II, North Americans have 
 invested much of their newfound wealth in suburbia. As the population of 
 suburban sprawl exploded in the past 50 years, Suburbia became the American 
 Dream. But as we enter the 21st century, serious questions are beginning to 
 emerge about the sustainability of this way of life. With brutal honesty 
 and a touch of irony, "The End of Suburbia" explores the American Way of 
 Life and its prospects as the planet approaches a critical era, as global 
 demand for fossil fuels begins to outstrip supply. World Oil Peak and the 
 inevitable decline of fossil fuels are upon us now, some scientists and 
 policy makers argue in this documentary.\n\nThe consequences of inaction in 
 the face of this global crisis are enormous. What does Oil Peak mean for 
 North America? As energy prices skyrocket even more in the coming years, 
 how will the populations of suburbia react to the collapse of their dream? 
 Are today's suburbs destined to become the slums of tomorrow? And what can 
 be done NOW, individually and collectively, to avoid The End of 
 Suburbia?\n\nHosted by Barrie Zwicker. Featuring author and New York Times 
 contributor James Howard Kunstler, Peter Calthorpe (urban planner, author 
 and lecturer), Professor Michael Klare (contributor to The Nation, 
 Scientific American and numerous others), Richard Heinberg (Peak Oil 
 educator and research fellow at the Post Carbon Institute), Matthew Simmons 
 (CEO of Simmons and Co, former energy advisor to George Bush and one of the 
 world’s leading experts on Peak Oil), Michael C. Ruppert (From the 
 Wilderness), Julian Darley (founder, Post Cabon Institute), Colin Campbell 
 (retired petroleum geologist for Texaco, BP, etc, and author of “The 
 Coming Oil Crisis”), Kenneth Deffeyes (Princeton professor and former 
 associate of M. King Hubbert), Ali Samsam Bakhtiari (Senior Expert in the 
 Corporate Planning Directorate of the National Iranian Oil Co) and Steve 
 Andrews (Denver-based energy consultant).\n\nWe are doing regular weekly 
 film screenings with Fools Foundation on Fridays at 7 PM - most are $5 
 (unless otherwise noted in advance), and will have filmmakers out from time
