Weekend Round-Up: NYE Edition...

Congratulations, y’all. You made it through the holiday season. The presents have been given, the meals have been made, the dishes are done, and you can finally collapse on the floor, unbutton the top button of your jeans, and veg out. But WAIT! Don’t fall asleep for too long, guys. Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve! You have places to go! Champagne to drink! Strangers to make out with at midnight! Take a disco nap...

Weekend Round-Up: 12/22-12/25...

Hey you! We’re rounding up the weekend’s activities a little early this week to give you some extra time to plan your distractions (and to give us some extra time to celebrate the holidays ourselves). So whether you’re lighting candles on your menorah (like Barrie), decorating the Christmas Palm Tree in California (like Aubrey) or singing “We Wish You a Merry Christmas Y’all” (like our...

Tuesday Danceday...

Did you know dancing makes you brave? It’s true. The correlation between dancing and increased amounts of bravery has been proven in numerous academic and scientific studies I just made up in my head. Seriously though, dancing is a great way to relieve stress, release endorphins, and forget the world outside the music and movement, even if only for a little while. Dancing is my very favorite thing. Fortunately for me...

The end of shopping is near: Seattle’s Etsy Edition

The end of shopping is near: Seattle’s Etsy Edit...

By now if you haven’t finished your shopping, then you might be just a tad on the screwed side. BUT there’s a little thing called Etsy that could possibly save your day if you still need a gift or two to throw into a shipping box. My suggestion: Email the local vendor and arrange a meeting spot – thus avoiding the shipping fees and getting to know the seller. Whenever I look on Etsy, I always first look locally just for...

An Uber-Good Deal: Credits, Coffee & Treats at Uber’s Open House

An Uber-Good Deal: Credits, Coffee & Treats a...

Open Houses are probably the most underrated genre of holiday party. They usually involve a LOT of cookies, you don’t have to awkwardly sing Happy Birthday to anybody and, unlike the four ugly sweater parties you got invited to this year, they aren’t tainted by jaded irony. So when a business that I love throws a party that I love and tops it off by giving out a whole bunch of freebies, I consider it a Christmas...

Weekend Round-Up: December 16-18...

I know you don’t care, but I’m super excited that this weekend is GUNS AND FRICKIN’ ROSES WEEKEND. Yep, we actually spent big money to see my childhood crush rock it in Vancouver (a slight mistake on my part, when I purchased tickets for the BC showing, not realizing they are coming to Seattle the day before – alas, my GNR concert is now a field trip to BC, which I think is a win win – for the soup dumplings alone)....
