Audrey — Tue, 14 May 2013 22:30:24 +0000

Here we are again, on the verge of the annual marathon known as the Seattle International Film Festival. SIFF 2013 officially kicks off this Thursday night with near-instantly sold-out Much Ado About ~~Nathan~~ Nothing, and by the time all all is said and done with The Bling Ring on closing night, the 39th annual SIFF will have run a full 25 days, and that's not even counting the three weeks of media/uber-member screenings in advance of the fest.

Margaret Higginson — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 20:00:46 +0000

Teatro ZinZanni’s newest show, Dinner at Wotan’s, is a whirlwind of songs you know and songs you don’t, gravity-defying acrobatics, cabaret, and one memorable bubble bath. Based (extremely) loosely on Nordic mythology, the show combines '80s power ballads, traditional Swedish songs, an aria from Verdi’s La Forza del Destino (“Pace, pace mio Dio”), and even some of Wagner’s Ring Cycle.

Lots to Love at Little LloydMartin

LloydMartin is a critically acclaimed but underappreciated little gem at the top of Queen Anne. I’ll bet that if others step in for Social Hour and discover the quality of Crannell’s cooking in the kitchen, they’ll soon be staying for dinner.

I'm not an engineer, Jeff. But I think I share your interest in disruptive technology. And when it comes to the constraints, or guiding forces, of this particular situation, I am betting that you, like me, will come to the conclusion that the solution here is gondolas.

Janie Jones is Not Just a Clash Song

It's also a feature film running at SIFF Cinema at the Uptown through Sunday. Additionally, Janie Jones is the title character of the film, played by an older-than-her-years Abigail Breslin. Here, Little Miss Sunshine is all growns up as a thirteen-year-old who's had to mostly take care of herself.
