VOICES FROM EL-SAYED: Nestled in the Negev Desert, El Sayed is home to a Bedouin village with the largest community of deaf people in the world. Through the generations, a unique sign language has evolved and a father must decide whether to get his son cochlear implants in spite of resistance from a community where the hearing and deaf comfortably coexist. This documentary is part of the Seattle Jewish Film Festival which runs through March 21.

JEFF GREENE: Most known as the co-star and executive producer for the HBO hit, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Jeff Garlin has also made the rounds as a stand-up comedian and film director. His book debut, My Footprint: Carrying the Weight of the World, is an account of his working to lighten both his carbon footprint—and the weight of his very own footprint.

DID WE MENTION THERE'S ALCOHOL INVOLVED?: Grab your favorite lad or lassie (or one of each!) and head over to The BottleNeck Lounge for one of the best parties of the year. They'll have Smithwick's Irish Ale on draft -- right off the boat from Kilkenny -- and plenty of Jamesons Irish Whiskey for everyone in bar. Guest chef Ashlyn Forshner returns with her signature Guinness-braised corned beef, which will be served piled high on marbled rye accompanied by the requisite cabbage. Stop by and get kissed or pinched or to sip a frothy Guinness with your friends and neighbors!
