Kaminsky spoke in the pre-concert recital time about the genesis of her work, Horizon Lines, with illustrations.

Face to Face is about seven weeks into their reunion tour in support of their new album Laugh Now... Laugh Later, and they stopped in at the Showbox Market last Friday. If you don't know who Face To Face is/was, you probably still know their hit song "Disconnected," which was featured during the semi truck scene in Tank Girl. It also got quite a bit of radio play in the '90s. The show was pretty good, but not without its problems.

It feels like you should almost catch sight of yourself. No matter the weather, the lake provides scenes that make you glad you've come down to the water.

On Saturday night, Seattle cashed its raincheck with Bono, the Edge, and the rest of U2 for a long-delayed 360° tour stop in the middle of Qwest Field. In addition to music, the nearly 70,000 fans were treated to a video chat with the crew of the International Space Station.
