Weekend Round-Up: 6/17 – 6/19

Weekend Round-Up: 6/17 – 6/19...

The graduation-related traffic jams are over, there’s a farmers market on every street corner til September, and it was still light outside last night at 9:30 – it’s officially summer in Seattle. And to celebrate, we’ve got a weekend full of naked bike parades, free burgers and accordians! You can’t talk Solstice without mentioning the Fremont Fair. It’s the longest day of the year, so...

Seattle Public Utilities: Free toilets!

Seattle Public Utilities: Free toilets!...

I really love the little notices I get from Seattle Public Utilities. I know I can go paperless, but I don’t for this one particular bill because they always give me such great insight on how to save on water and upcoming rate changes. Photo courtesy of Public Domain Photos This month I found out about a great program they’re running for lower income households. If you and your home qualifies, you can get a free...

Happy Hour at The Tuscan Tea Room: Mad Hatter not Included

Happy Hour at The Tuscan Tea Room: Mad Hatter not ...

When I found out that The Tuscan Tea Room in West Seattle was expanding it’s services beyond typical high tea and adding in a happy hour, I called (or actually texted, because I hate calling people) Barrie, my yay-today partner in crime, and told her it was pretty much our sworn duty as deal-hungry, wine-loving, semi-professional bloggers to engage in some market research ASAP. So we ditched work a bit early on Friday...

Tweet-n-Greet: Best of Belltown and Urbandipity Tweet-Up

Tweet-n-Greet: Best of Belltown and Urbandipity Tw...

When I first started yay-today’s Twitter account, I was hesitant. I love (love love) talking to people, but I’m a hug-and-a-handshake kind of girl- I like to do things in person. The idea of talking to a bunch of strangers in 140 characters? Um, yeah. I didn’t get it. But it seemed like this little blog needed one, so I started an account and started tweeting. And then I found out how wrong I was. Twitter is...

Want to see other in-store performances? Of course you do. Here’s what some of our local stores have in, errrr, store.

Weekend Round-Up: 6/10-6/12

Weekend Round-Up: 6/10-6/12...

I’m slowly losing layers of winter clothes with each passing weekend. Can not wait for July 5th to hurry on up. As for the weekend, let’s all hope we see as much sun as we saw last weekend. Those were the days, right? -Want a nice elderly lady’s crocheted blankie? You can buy it for cheap at their rummage sale today and tomorrow in Ballard! -Starbucks is doing ‘We Love You Fridays’. If you go...

Art on the Fly: Dancing in the Streets

Art on the Fly: Dancing in the Streets...

Some people like watching musicals. I harbor a not-so-secret desire to LIVE in a musical. Sure, I can’t sing and my dancing mostly consists of drunken lip-syncing and hand motions (see the ending credits of Bridesmaids for a good example of the school of dance I’m partial too), but I think the world would be a better place if people would just randomly break out in choreographed performance art several times a...

Eat Fancy, Be Cheap: Happy Hour at Mistral Kitchen

Eat Fancy, Be Cheap: Happy Hour at Mistral Kitchen...

Hole-in-the-wall dining is fine and good- there are certain foods that taste substantially better when you’re eating in an alley and being served (kind of) by somebody you know kind of despises you. But sometimes you need a taste (or a sip) of the finer things in life- drinking wine out of a glass with a stem and eating charcuterie instead of sandwich meat. But what is a girl (or boy) to do when you have a craving for...

Best Butcher: Armed and Delicious

Best Butcher: Armed and Delicious...

I’m going to have to start paying more attention to what kind of shoes Mark Zuckerberg is wearing- evidently, he is THE go-to person when it comes to predicting the latest fashion. First he made social networking so commonplace that my parents call me asking why I’m not posting more on facebook, and now he’s making butchery the hot new trend. Well, maybe this is one arena where we Seattlites already have him...
