Along with the ever-exciting baseball playoffs and must-win games for our top two local football teams, sports fans can enjoy a couple of non-sports events this weekend.
Sonics Movie
Well “enjoy” may be the wrong word for the emotions you’ll feel at the premiere of Sonicsgate. The film about the Sonics’ departure from Seattle, featuring interviews with major players like Slade Gorton, Kevin Calabro and Sleepy Sam Perkins, debuts tonight at SIFF, with an encore presentation Saturday at Pacific Place. Friday’s screening is sold out, but you can get tickets for Saturday’s here.
Tonight the film’s producers are hosting an after-party at Spitfire, here are the details on that.
Seahawks Book
Mark Tye Turner, author of the Seahawks “fan-oir” Notes from a Twelfth Man, will be reading from and hosting a trivia contest surrounding his book tonight at F.X. McRory’s. The trivia is free; first prize is a round of drinks and a $25 F.X. McRory’s gift certificate. Should be a fun time and a moment to send happy thoughts to Matt Hasselbeck’s ribs.
