I’ll have a cocktail with my book discussion, thank you very much.
That’s the idea behind two monthly literary nights at Tacoma’s Tempest Lounge, coordinated with the local King’s Books.
On the first Tuesday of the month is the Book Slut Social. There’s no requirement to read any particular book for this book social. It’s about […]
When we’re young it seems that time passes ever so slowly, but as adults it seems that we’ve barely turned around and another year has passed.
As we watch the dwindling hours of the year, here’s the list of my personal favorites from this past year. Some are making repeat appearances, and some are […]
Drinking and New Year’s Eve just see to go hand in hand, but that doesn’t mean you should get behind the wheel of a car!
There are several options – get a hotel room and walk to your events (that’s what I’m doing), select a reliable designated driver, book a limo for the evening, or […]
Do you know where you’ll be one week from today — on New Year’s Eve?
Hopefully you’ve got your plans and reservations all taken care of, but it you’re still left wondering about what to do and where to go, here are some suggestions. Each day you wait to make plans your options decrease and your […]
For some, the holidays means sugar plum fairies, the pungent smell of a tree, hot cocoa, old-fashioned ornaments, and sharing presents and making memories with friends.

I’ve written about several of the theater offerings around the Seattle area, and looking through the flyer for the 5th Avenue Theater’s 2007-08 season, it looks like another great season of theater is ahead of us.
Take a look at this line up:
Lone Star Love (runs through September 30th). A riff on Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives […]
The weather forecast for the Labor Day Weekend is looking a little sketchy. Those of us who live here are used to it, but if you’re planning to visit, you may want to re-think staying in the city. Instead, consider heading off to George, Washington and The Gorge Amphitheatre.
Dave Matthews Band will perform three outdoor […]
Billed as the “mother of all arts festivals,” Bumbershoot was one of the good things to come out of Seattle in the 1970’s, an otherwise turbulent and uninspired time in our city’s history. 37 years after its birth, the festival is bigger and better than ever.
In 1970, then Mayor, Wes Uhlman, formed a citizen’s group […]
Do you remember that scene in the movie Scent of a Woman where Al Pacino was teaching Gabrielle Anwar how to Tango? I always thought that was one of the sexiest movie scenes — the music, the rhythm, the dance.
If the Tango speaks to you in similar ways, you can learn some moves over the […]
