Well, Google Places and Seattleite Magazine are here to help you swear off buying vodka that comes in a plastic bottle forever...

(Home) Cooking School: Swap Your Soup!

(Home) Cooking School: Swap Your Soup!...

The snowy weather happening outside my window while I write this may not be good for your commute, but it is the perfect inspiration for this week’s edition of (Home) Cooking School. This week we’re cooking, and swapping, all things soup. Not only is it the perfect food for chilly weather, a big pot of soup might save you if the entire city shuts down this week because there’s a solid inch of snow on the...

A Few Good Elvi: Sing (or Swoon) at the Elvis Invi...

This is a tough post to write folks. Not because the subject matter is sad- I’m here to tell you about a freaking Elvis Impersonation Contest, there’s nothing sad about that- but because it’s going to be really, really hard to resist filling this post with a bunch of really bad puns. But I’ll try my very best to tell you all the reasons why you need to plan on spending your Saturday night at the...

Give it a Try: $2 classes all around Seattle

Give it a Try: $2 classes all around Seattle...

I went swimming the other day and was reminded how much I love it. Sure, there’s a crap ton of people right at your heel and you only have an hour to go, go, go and I’m almost always disoriented when I first get there – but besides all that, it truly is great (especially with this waterproof mp3 player). My favorite pool is now Greenlake’s Evans because of the hot hot hot sauna and the easy parking in the winter. But...

Spring Has Arrived!

Spring Has Arrived!...

Okay, not really. It’s raining, gray, and freaking freezing outside. Spring is actually still months away. BUT! Starting this Friday, you can pretend it’s Spring by heading to the Erickson Theater Off Broadway for Balagan Theater’s production of Spring Awakening. Image courtesy of Balagan Theater Okay, maybe that was a stretch. But it’s still a damn fine musical. Set in 1890 Germany, Spring Awakening...
