Weekend Round Up: 9/30 – 10/2

Weekend Round Up: 9/30 – 10/2...

It may be getting a wee bit chillier out there, but Seattle’s social calendar doesn’t seem to be slowing down at all. Nothing makes the transition to fall easier than a weekend brimming with free, fabulous events. I’m extra stoked because it’s the first weekend in who knows how long that I will actually have time to check out some of the things I’m writing about today. Now, if only the work day...

Munch on Me Showers the U-District with FREE Food Offers

Munch on Me Showers the U-District with FREE Food ...

I know, we’re all a little suspicious of the seemingly never-ending avalanche of daily deal sites. Even with bad press about Groupon’s looming delayed IPO, I feel like I hear about another new player almost every day. Some people love them- I have friends who plan their weekend activities around what’s being offered on these sites. (These folks tend to spend a lot of time eating out and having laser hair...

Bellingham: It’s just plain cheaper there

Bellingham: It’s just plain cheaper there...

Last week I spent some time in Bellingham, or what I like to call Seattle’s hippie cousin in the North. I always love it there – not just because the Co-op smells like patchouli and people say hi to you on the streets, but you guys Bham is CHEAP. I could go on and on about the places I always hit like Mallard Ice Cream or the Museum of Radio and Electricity, but instead I’m gonna talk about 2 newbies I discovered and...

Consumer’s Conflict: Not exactly cheap, but worth a read

Okay, I’ll be the first to admit that with a $20 admission fee, you best have something good to say and it better include food in that price. Luckily, the people behind The Consumer’s Conflict cater to people just like me. Photo courtesy of The Consumer's Conflict So if you didn’t take Aubrey’s advice last week I’m gonna hammer it in your head once again because this will be worth it. Go to The...

Paratti Craft Bar Giveaway: Taste the Best Caipirinha in Seattle

Paratti Craft Bar Giveaway: Taste the Best Caipiri...

Now that summer is over, it’s important that we all focus on staying healthy through the fall and winter, both physically and mentally. One method for avoiding Seasonal Affective Disorder and generally maintaing your sanity through the dark seasons is to openly pretend it’s summer. Some people do that by wearing sandals in the snow, or piling on the bronzer in January. Or you can be like me and order cocktails...

Weekend Round-Up: 9/23-9/25...

So yeah, somehow I blinked and September is almost over. I don’t know how that happened, but here we are. Thankfully, we’ve got another action-packed weekend full of fabulous ways to make you smile for a solid 72 hours. Sure, it’s still September and we’re nowhere near Germany, but we can still celebrate Oktoberfest like rockstars. Fremont Oktoberfest starts today and lasts all weekend. Entrance to...

The Neptune Theater is Back, and Free-er than Ever

The Neptune Theater is Back, and Free-er than Ever...

When the Neptune Theater closed it’s doors last year, Seattle wept a little. The historic theater, originally opened in 1921, was a true treasure for Seattle cinephiles. Yeah, I end up seeing most movies at my nearest comfy multiplex, but there is something magically nostalgic about old theaters. But like a beautiful butterfly emerging from a cocoon filled with really uncomfortable seats, the Neptune Theater is back and...

Will Work for Beer: Volunteer at Arcade Lights Pike Place Market Fundraiser

Will Work for Beer: Volunteer at Arcade Lights Pik...

Whenever I tell people that I live in Seattle, one of the first things they ask me is how often I go to Pike Place Market. I love that I can say that I do indeed go there fairly often- what other city boasts a tourist attraction that locals actually visit regularly? The thing is, this local treasure needs some serious love from the community in order to keep thriving. That’s why the Pike Place Market Foundation is...

Eat Your Vegetables (and Learn About Them) at The Consumer’s Conflict

Eat Your Vegetables (and Learn About Them) at The ...

Here at yay-today, we’re pretty geeky about our food. We love to eat it, make it and grow it (well, I try at least). But we also love to learn about it and where it came from. That’s why we do our duty as Seattle-ites and try to frequent the farmer’s market as often as possible, are humungous fans of local producers like Blue Valley Meats (seriously, try their new Pine Street Sausage, it’s delicious)...
