MUSIC: The grandfather of punk (and thus the great-grandfather of indie rock) Jonathan Richman is in Ballard at the Tractor tonight. You might recall his song "Roadrunner" in the School of Rock soundtrack or you may recognize his influence in every rock band everywhere since the mid-60s.

THEATRE: The Washington Ensemble Theatre's production of "Never Swim Alone" is about two guys who grew up competing against each other on the court and to this day compete against each other in the office. There's some kind of deep, dark secret involved in their relationship, of course. The badass from last year's Crave, Roger Benington, is back to direct.
BOOKS: Greg Atkinson, former Canlis chef, talks about the styles, ingredients and trends of northwest cuisine at Third Place Books.
