We're sure we don't need to say this, but you can't miss your caucus. This is the first year in our whole time in the Pacific Northwest where it matters what Washington voters think. If you're still wondering where to go, here are two Dem or GOP caucus locators. Caucusing starts at 1pm. We understand that if you know who you support and you don't want to spend an hour or two talking about it, you can get in and out in about half an hour.

We went to see Mike Daisey's How Theater Failed America at CHAC last night, and if you're interested at all in the fate of live theater, check it out.

From gorgeous new theaters standing empty as cathedrals, to “successful” working actors traveling like migrant farmhands, to an arts culture unwilling to speak or listen to its own nation, Daisey takes stock of the dystopian state of theater in America: a shrinking world with smaller audiences every year.

It's a brand-new show and less polished than his Monopoly!, but it has his anarchic sense of humor, volcanic eruptions, unlikely reminiscences, and corporate critique in spades. It also contains an insider's account of "garage" theater in Seattle in the '90s and how not to introduce children to the work of Jean Genet.

On the music side of things, SHIM unveils their new album, Feel Like a King,tonight at the Tractor Tavern, with guests Slender Means. We're told that longtime fan-favorites like "The Highway," "Animal," and "We Got Guns" are on the new CD. SHIM are Ragan Crowe, vocals/guitar; Micah Simler, bass; Mike Notter, vocals/guitar; and Jeremy Crowe, drums -- plus big flashing lights and a smoke machine. Seattle Power-Pop says, "they are a 100% irony free arena rock band stuck in a club-sized body," and that "SHIM's music reminded me of Thin Lizzy, Queens of the Stone Age, KISS and, at one point, Audioslave. But, in truth, I enjoyed them way more than those touchpoints might normally suggest."

In a slightly less arena-rock vein, choral group The Esoterics bring their avant garde a capella to Capitol Hill's St. Joseph's Church. They're singing Arvo Part's Canon of Repentance, "in tribute to Anna Politkovskaya, a Russian journalist who was killed in her Moscow apartment building in October 2006. An outspoken reporter and human rights activist, Politkovskaya was known for her coverage of the conflict in Chechnya as well as her opposition to Russian president Vladimir Putin. In response to her tragic death, Estonian composer Arvo Pärt made a significant global pronouncement: that every concert performance of his works in the ensuing year would be dedicated to Anna’s memory." Maybe CHS will go and tell us how it was.
