2012 January- Yay Today!

Savor Seattle Hunt: Food and Puzzles, Together at ...

You guys know I love to eat- I talk about it occasionally on this blog. But something you may not know about me is that I’m also obsessed with puzzles. You know all that time I spend with my head buried in my phone? Well, half the time I’m not even texting somebody cooler than you about how lame whatever I’m doing in real life is. If you look closely, you’ll see me heads down in the middle of a fierce...

Officially a Trend: Silent Movie Mondays at The Pa...

Suddenly, silent movies are as popular as ironic facial hair and Pinterest. First they started playing them for free at The Sorrento Hotel, then The Artist came out and got nominated for a bunch of cool film awards, and now they’re taking over The Paramount Theater. If you want to know what all the fuss is about, then I suggest you head to The Paramount tonight, where they’re playing a classic silent film...

Weekend Round-Up: January 27-29...

Are you guys so excited about the weekend? It’s going to be awesome. The snow is gone, the sun is supposed to shine all day Saturday, and there are so many fun things happening in Seattle. If you want to be just like me, you can celebrate my birthday by dressing as Wonder Woman! If you would prefer to do your own, non-costumed thing, I’ve still got you covered. Rock on with your weekend, Seattle. -Last week we...

Free Food Free For All: Deathcakes, Samoas, FroYo,...

Remember that New Year’s Resolution about only eating kale and flax seed oil for the month of January? Yeah, screw that. I don’t know what’s in the air lately, but the Yay-Today calendar is bubbling over with all kinds of delicious things to eat and drink in the next few days. Don’t fight it- resistance is futile when you’re staring in the face of free, delicious food. So embrace your inner fat...

The old Cascade People’s Center: Meet the new Ca...

After what seemed like years after Cascade People’s Center closed their doors, they finally got a saving grace. Meet their new sponsor and supporter: The YMCA. Now, the Y @ Cascade People’s Center is offering lots of fun classes and most are FREE for the first visit. Photo courtesy of EvanLovely. For instance, tonight the Yoga class tonight is free for all first-timers and if you end up liking Bev’s practice you can buy...

Short and Sweet: The Coolest Thing You’ll Do...

I’m not gonna go on and on about my hair or anything. Instead, I’m gonna give it to you fast. Go to Sorrento Hotel this Wednesday. The place that gives you such great FREE events like Night School Silent Readings and Fellini Film Fridays (even though their site says Wednesdays, just trust me that it happens on Fridays. Oh, silly websites) is now giving you something else for free to enjoy. Head over to their...

GIVEAWAY: Explore Seattle’s Finest Eats with...

Yay-Today started as an effort to get our dearest, sometimes slightly antisocial (this is Seattle after all) friends and acquaintances in the know about all of the amazingly cool stuff that goes on around here that doesn’t cost a fortune. So it should come as no surprise that we’re huge fans of Dishcrawl, a group that’s dedicated to exploring Seattle via all of the delicious restaurants that we have in our...

Weekend Round-Up: January 20-22...

Holy Snosanity 2012, Seattle. Are y’all surviving? More importantly, are you enjoying the crap out of this weather? My days have been filled with sledding, ice walks, frolicking snow dog, building Snow Trogdor, and more cups of coffee than you can shake a snowman at. This Texas girl is in love with our city all the time, but especially when everything is covered in frozen, sparkling, snowy white. If snow were a...

Gerald Wu Hair Design: Or how I went from blah to ...

Photo courtesy of Gerald Wu Hair Design First, you need to know something about me before I start this review on the totally amazing Gerald Wu hair cutter extraordinaire. I am not cool. I don’t know the first thing about trends. I read popular books about 10 years past their prime. And I’m the first to arrive and leave a party. Case in point: I’m wearing a sweater with hearts on it that I wore to a “Bad Sweater...

Handmade Valentine Swap...

Image courtesy of The Stationery Place Do y’all remember what Valentine’s Day was like when we were kids? Nobody put pressure on us to make fancy dinner reservations. We didn’t have to buy extravagant gifts. Cheesy diamond commercials were never directed at us (I’m looking at you, Kay Jewelers). We didn’t even have to worry about forgetting the day itself because how would we ever...
