Your weekly SIFF: May 31-June 6

Your weekly SIFF: May 31-June 6...

Here we are again, at the 3rd week and man does time fly. Pretty soon all of this will be over and we’ll go back to our regular lives not seeing movies every day and feeling sad. Let’s hold onto each other right now and embrace the time we have together, shall we? Okay, on with the movies!   Photo courtesy of SIFF Price Check: Who knew the corporate world of grocery store management would be filled with so...

The heat is on: Barrio hosts the hottest eating contest

The heat is on: Barrio hosts the hottest eating co...

I* haven’t been to Capitol Hill’s Mexican bar and kitchen, Barrio, yet but when I received this little tidbit of news I may just have to make a visit (and I’m a sucker for a good sangria). (Image courtesy of flickr user krossbow) So what’s the news that has me writing this here post? Oh, just some eating contest. But wait, don’t leave. This is not your average eating contest. In fact, it’s the hottest one you’ll...

HONK! Fest West 2012

HONK! Fest West 2012...

These are things I love: dancing. Marching bands. Keanu Reeves. Lucky for me (and those who share my loves), HONK! Fest West is upon us again. You probably won’t see Keanu Reeves (but what IF?) but you will dance the night away to a multitude of marching bands playing their sweet, sweet sounds on the streets of Georgetown and beyond.   (image courtesy of www.honkfestwest.com) HONK! begins on Thursday night at The...

Weekend Round-Up 5/25-5/28

Weekend Round-Up 5/25-5/28...

Did you see what’s extra awesome about the title of today’s post? Yeah, you fancy math whizzes already got it- we’re about to embark on a long weekend, and I couldn’t be happier. I mean sure, I was technically on vacation just two weeks ago, but it’s been a tough 14 days since then. Now I can’t wait for three whole days of napping, sunshine (hopefully), and all the other cool stuff listed...

Your weekly SIFF: May 24-May 30...

Hope you guys had a good 1st week of SIFF, but now it’s time to get serious and by serious I mean seriously awesome movies. Usually about this time is when it starts getting super sunny and no one wants to be indoors, let alone see movies (why SIFF doesn’t do the festival in the winter is still unknown to me). But I can assure you that these movies (errr, some of these movies if I have to be completely honest) are...

Northwest Folklife Festival: AKA, my favorite festival in Seattle

Northwest Folklife Festival: AKA, my favorite fest...

I’m sure I probably said that other festivals were the bee’s knees, but I was wrong because the NW Folklife Festival is obviously the winner of the chicken dinner. It’s so relaxed. The music is inviting no matter what you’re into. And best of all, it’s FREE!   This year, NW Folklife takes place, like in years’ past, right when Sasquatch happens at The Gorge. Honestly, this makes the festival even better. All...

FREE Burgers at Lil Woody’s Monday May 28

FREE Burgers at Lil Woody’s Monday May 28...

When we started Yay-Today, our main goal was to tell all y’all about the very best budget-friendly things to do, eat, see and buy in and around the fair city of Seattle. So when we find out about something free, we give ourselves an extra pat on the back, because honestly, what’s friendlier to your budget that free? So today, I’m giving myself an entire bear hug, because I get to tell you about how you can...

Two FREE Shows from Bushwick Book Club This Week

Two FREE Shows from Bushwick Book Club This Week...

I absolutely LOVE the Bushwick Book Club. I love it so much that when I visited New York last week, I opted to stay in my sister-in-law’s Brooklyn walk-up instead of my best friend’s fancy Hell’s Kitchen loft just so I could go get a drink at Goodbye Blue Monday, the bar/coffee shop/antique store where the original Bushwick Book Club performs. (Sadly I couldn’t coordinate my visit with an actual...

Weekend Round-Up: 5/18-5/20

Weekend Round-Up: 5/18-5/20...

Do you even know how much self-control it is taking me to not be all, “SUN! TANS! WARMTH! CAPITAL LETTERS! EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!”? Because those are the words that have been floating around my head this week. It’s been so lovely outside. One of my favorite things about Seattle is how friendly we all get when the sun comes out. On a cloudy, rainy day, you might shyly smile at someone on a street corner while...
