How-To Homestead's website looks like YouTube for urban nature enthusiasts: director, Melinda Stone, splits her time between teaching media studies at SFU and homesteading a farm in Humboldt County. Her two passions are perfectly married in the site's instructional videos, where DIY filmmakers demonstrate how to make everything from dandelion wine, to chicken coops, to humanure. Tonight at Southern Exposure gallery, they're bringing it live: homebrewed tastings, live music, square dancing, and their latest short films. It's a real hootenanny — bring something made in your own homestead and get in free.

Join the How-to Homestead Crew, led by Melinda Stone, for a down-home hootenanny of movies, tastings, song, and dance! The evening includes free tastings of homemade beer, booze, fermented vegetables, and other homestead goodies; new homesteading movie shorts, some with live accompaniment by the How-to Homestead house band: the sk8 sisters; square dancing with Pearsons Pork Pies and the night concludes with free-form dancing with the Goat Family, a nuevo-traditional jug band on the old-timey exuberance and infectious tip.
