Hanky Panky with Tommy James & the Shondells at Emerald Queen Casino

This concert will take you back.  Back to the late 1960’s when bubble gum and rock and roll battled for play on the radio.  And back when Tommy James & the Shondells had two number one U.S. singles with “Hanky Panky” (1966) and “Crimson and Clover” (1968).
That’s 40 years ago!  These guys have been around […]

Breakfast at Tiffany’s & a Movie at Lake Union

Enjoy Breakfast at Tiffany’s beneath the stars with the summer’s first Cinema on the Lawn film.
Watch beautiful Audrey Hepburn as quirky, and deeply neurotic, Holly Golightly and she flit through life and love.  George Peppard plays her neighbor Paul Varjak, and the two of them ignite some very serious on-screen chemistry.  You’ll have to watch […]

Shop at Lush in Seattle & Bellevue

Lush is a store that I discovered while traveling.  It was full of wonderful, nicely scented, responsibly made, bath and skin products.  The products are all natural, and there is no animal testing.  I loved that this was truly a business with a social conscious.
But the closest store was a couple hundred miles from […]

There are lots of good posts to read this week, and, as usual, it took me awhile to get through them all.  But get through them I did.

Colossal Fossils at the Pacific Science Center

Hang out with the big guys — the dinosaurs who walked the earth millions of years ago — at “Colossal Fossils” now showing at the Pacific Science Center through January 6th, 2008.

Lisa Harris Gallery at the Pike Place Market

There are lots of artists stalls and art galleries in the Pike Place Market area, and one of my favorites is the Lisa Harris Gallery, located in a loft in the Soames Dunn Building, upstairs from the original Starbuck’s.  It’s the location as much as the art that makes it so enjoyable.
The gallery was […]
