Make It a U-District Weekend

Make It a U-District Weekend...

Make plans to venture over to the U-District this weekend and you’ll find a neighborhood bustling with activities that are easy on the pocketbook. But first, a little advice. If you decide to go, take public transit—‘cause it’s gonna be biz-eee! Second, if you like crowds A LOT, go Saturday. If you don’t mind crowds all that much, go Sunday. Third, if you eat you should go because there will be tasty food all up in...

Bend, Twist and Drink at yoga uniQue...

I’m assuming you’ve been staring into the bright, bright sun wishing for it to keep at it just one more day. You’ve been getting spring-y and loving every second of it. Sadly, we all know how this weather saga is going to end up. You guessed it, the weather officially turns to meh this weekend. This doesn’t mean you have to give up all the fun you’ve been having and retreat into the darkness...

Jet City Improv Presents The Adventures of Gilbert and Sullivan

Jet City Improv Presents The Adventures of Gilbert...

A night of live theater is a worthy splurge. That’s why we’re big fans of Seattle Theater Group (STG), 5th Avenue Theatre and ACT. But as much as I loved seeing Book of Mormon when it came to Seattle in January (seriously, mark your calendars because it’s coming back next year), nobody can afford to make musical theatre a weekly, or monthly occurrence in their life. Or… can they? If you explore the...

If you don’t mind a little gambling, and you are up to standing outside in the cold for a bit, you might be able to...

If you appreciate the opera but can’t find money for tickets in your couch cushions, then get your search engine started and join in on Seattle Opera’s Search for Cinderella!

Weekend Round Up: 9/21-9/23...

Happy Friday, y’all. I hope you have had a good start to your day. So far, my day has included coffee, squash bread, and a stranger on the bus judging my Milli Vanilli Pandora station. (He can’t hang.) But delicious food and bitchin’ tunes is exactly the right way to rock into the weekend, so baby? Don’t forget my number. Or blame it on the rain. Or something. Whatever, it’s the weekend and there...

Ice Cream in Maple Leaf: YES!

Ice Cream in Maple Leaf: YES!...

I don’t venture off to Maple Leaf that often, but I do love a community that actually comes together—if even for once a year, when it’s nice out, hopefully. Photo courtesy of AngMoo Even if you’re not a Maple Leaf resident maybe their Summer Ice Cream Social will inspire you to do something for your neighborhood. I love that everyone is invited today from 6:30-8:30pm to come out to the Maple Leaf Playground and meet...
