2010 June- Yay Today!

Hungry, hungry (it’ll go to your) hips-o!...

Short Story: A meatfest for a price we can reason with. Okay, so pardon the crappy title, but when I write about delicious food I just can’t help myself. If you live in Seattle and eat meat then you know about Salumi. You’ve probably taken an extra long lunch to go out there with a few friends and then proceeded to wait in a long line, taste a few samples, cry when you see your sandwich run out and finally eat...

Downward Dog Park...

Short Story: Need a reason to go to Olympic Sculpture Park? We have two. Yoga centers are like coffee shops these days. Everywhere I look there’s one popping up on a corner, to the point that I can’t tell which is which anymore. But when one offers FREE classes I take notice. Case in point: 8 Limbs. Situated in Capitol Hill, Wedgewood, West Seattle and Phinney these Yogis must be doing something right. From your...

Eat your veggies organically....

Short Story: With plenty of CSAs to choose from, this is the one for me. Long Story: First of all, I should start by saying I’m totally biased. I’ve been using New Roots Organics for almost 2 years now. They are straight up honest people. They tell you that they don’t always get their oranges from Washington, because California does it better in the winter. And I’m fine with that. What I like about New...

Art at its free-est....

Short Story: I can’t keep the best art fair a secret anymore. Long Story: Two years ago I was introduced to the most interesting art fair in Seattle ever. I was planning to keep it to myself so, like all things, it wouldn’t get too big/limit parking spaces/ruin the crowd. But I just can’t hold it in any longer, so without further ado let me introduce you to Artopia. From the amazing power tool races to...

The hottest little house in Seattle....

Short Story: Getting nekkid just got cheaper. Long Story: If you’re a woman/chick/girl, like me and you’ve lived in Seattle like me, then you should’ve gone to Hot House at least once in your life, like me. Although, I actually go quite often – and for good reason. The place is amazing! It’s small, for women only (so you can feel comfortable being totally naked) and open till midnight. The hot...

University of Free...

Short Story: From keeping chickens to making cheese, you too can learn things for FREE! Long Story: We don’t know why they do it, or how they do it – but out of the kindness of their hearts the people at Seattle Free School offer classes for free. That’s right. All you have to do is sign up via email, letting them know you’ll take their soap making class or their dieting class or their paper garden...

Mirror in the Bathroom, Concert in the Park...

Short Story: It’s summer in Seattle! Well, kind of. Make the most of it with a free concert by The English Beat in Westlake Park. Good music, warm weather and the possibility of sun? That’s a combination you simply can’t pass up. Tomorrow at 12:00 pm, The English Beat will be out at Westlake Park to perform the first of the Out to Lunch 2010 Summer Concert Series. What better way to spend your lunch hour...

youth in revolt...

Short Story: The clothes she likes cost more than I’ll ever make, but The Style Rookie’s blog is free to read and will restore your faith in the younger generation. (taken from www.jezebel.com) 13-year-old Tavi Gevinson, aka The Style Rookie, is the antidote to everything you hate about teenagers. She describes herself as a “tiny 13 year old dork that sits inside all day wearing awkward jackets and pretty...

Burn the Floor for Free thanks to Starbucks...

Short story: Starbucks offers patrons a free ticket to Burn the Floor at the Paramount in September Starbucks concludes its run of “We Love You Fridays”, their customer appreciation event in which they’ve been handing out free tickets to local events to customers who visit their local stores, with this Friday, June 18th, offer. Visit a participating Starbucks store in Seattle and get a ticket to Burn the...

Reed all about it...

Short Story: Reeder makes it easy to keep up with your Google Reader no matter where you are. (taken from www.reeder.com) Two things I can’t live without: my iPhone and my Google Reader. If you share a similar set of addictions, then let me tell you about Reeder, aka “the best $3 I’ve ever spent (in the last several weeks).” Trying to get through Google Reader feed on my iPhone used to be a pain- I was reliant on...
