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...

Weekend Round-Up: 4/27-4/29...

April is winding down, and while it doesn’t look like we’ll be working on our tans very much this weekend, it certainly doesn’t mean that we need to stay inside. Despite the clouds, this weekend is packed full of some pretty fabulous to-dos. So get out there and do ‘em! Dumplings. Sticky Rice. Bubble Tea. Humbow. If reading that list just made you hungry, then you can’t miss Seattle Dumpling...

Weekend Round Up: 4/20-4/22...

Happy Friday, y’all. I hope you made it through the week with little stress or, at the very least, lots of coffee. It might be cloudy now but I’m seeing forecasts of sun and 70 degrees on Saturday. If that’s not a reason to celebrate then I don’t even know what to tell you. The upcoming weekend looks beautiful and offers a variety of ways to get out of the house and into some fun shenanigans....

Weekend Roundup: 4/13-4/15...

The sun came out a lot this week, y’all. Did you notice? Were you excited? Also, did you know I grew up in Texas, where we rarely (if ever) celebrated sun sightings? Texas thinks I’m weird now. Seattle just thinks I fit in. This weekend is also rumored to be sunny and lovely, with highs in the low 60s, according to the generous rounding I’m doing based on what my weather app is reporting. So, as always,...

So far this week, we’ve talked about dance (the Backstage Bash with the Pacific Northwest Ballet Company) and a truly fabulous event at Pike Place Market (Arcade Lights!). Today I’m going to tell you about an amazing dance-centric event that takes place IN Pike Place Market. Yeah, that’s right, today’s feature, Ruffles and Raffles, is the combination of two previous themes- do I get bonus points for...

When I was 6, I forgot the choreography to my first (and only) ballet recital and tried to “improvise” until a teacher removed me from the tiny stage. My own grandmother burst out laughing at me, and I started to suspect that I wasn’t going to be a professional dancer. Now, at age 31, I’m pretty confident that I wasn’t meant for ballet stardom- I got hungry just watching the chicks in Black Swan...

Who doesn’t love the Norwegians that reside in Ballard? Their parade in May is the only crowded event in Seattle I can actually enjoy without feeling like I have to buy bottled water for $20 or move with a herd of cows (plus, I have my own parking spot). But to kick the season off right, the good people of Norway are starting some great festivities this weekend. Photo courtesy of Thorskegga. The Norwegian Cultural Heritage...

It’s the weekend, yo! I don’t know how a short week could feel so long, but hot diggity, I barely survived.

Free beer, facials, movie are all on the agenda, and that’s just the beginning. Stop working, start playing and share this post with your friends so you can...
