Weekend Round-Up: July 29-31

Weekend Round-Up: July 29-31...

It can’t be sunny for the whole weekend, right? It’s impossible. INCONCEIVABLE! And yet, every Tom, Dick and Harry says it’s true!!! And it might even last beyond the weekend this time. It could very well last for 2 whole weeks. I’m getting a little teary just thinking of all the summery things I can do. So while I ponder about bike rides, applying sunscreen and pools filled with kids here’s some...

Canto Barcelona: Mucho dinero no necessite

Canto Barcelona: Mucho dinero no necessite...

Have you been to the Euro slash hipster store tucked in Ballard – Canto Barcelona? Well, apparently no one has because they’re packing their bags, closing shop and opening a new undetermined spot in Capitol Hill. I’ve been in this place a few times and even their sale items seemed to be a bit out of my cheapy price range. But alas, this shop is finally having some deep discounts worth writing about. Photo...

Movies for a Sunny Day: FREE Outdoor Movie Round-Up

Movies for a Sunny Day: FREE Outdoor Movie Round-U...

When I lived in LA, movie theaters were the perfect place to go hide out from a summer heatwave. Now that I’ve put in some time in Seattle, there aren’t many movies that I can justify wasting valuable summer weather on. (That’s what the other 11 months of the year are for.) August, however, is the perfect storm for movie-lovers suffering from a little cabin fever- it seems like every park in and around...

People, July is almost over. Don’t worry- that really just means that summer is just about to start. Everybody knows that August is when we get the best weather. The yay-today team is spending this weekend across the border in Whistler, BC, but there is plenty for you to do down here in Seattle. Here are our favorite weekend events: We already showed some love to the kind folks at Seattle Art Museum this week when we...

Seattle Square: It’s not like every other festival every weekend in Seattle

Seattle Square: It’s not like every other fe...

Okay, I take that back. Seattle Square does have art, vendors, food trucks and music – so technically speaking it is like every other Seattle festival. But here’s the difference, this little street fair is totally empty! I might be showing my age here, but I’m done with the overcrowded Seafood Festival, Block Party, Fremont Fair thing. If I don’t ever see a Shiskaberry stand again I’ll be a very...

Before I moved to Seattle, the only seafood I associated with the Emerald City was salmon. Then, when we announced we were moving, my father-in-law suddenly couldn’t stop talking about how excited he was to come visit us and eat “famous Seattle oysters.” Since he was newly reintroducing himself to the dating scene, I was a little skeeved out by his enthusiasm for the famous aphrodisiac, but once we moved...

So I’m sure that you have all read about the whopping 78 minutes of summer that we’ve all enjoyed so far this year- hopefully you were outside for at least half of that. But just because we’re all wearing sweaters over our sundresses doesn’t mean that we should give up and hide indoors- we’re Seattlites, dammit, and it’s time we throw up our hoodies and brave the grey. One of the best ways...

Well, I hope you enjoyed the last few weeks because it’s back to being craptastic again (did I mention I’m usually the pro-Seattle weather Yay-Today writer – but man, this weather is really starting to piss me off). So if you need a reason to enjoy this summer at all, here’s a few things that might get you out of the house for a second or two: -Make some popcorn, bring your lawn chairs (errr winter...
