Can't Miss It: Tuesday
DARK, CRAZY MEMORIES: Augusten Burroughs has a new memoir out—A Wolf at the Table. We don't have it yet, but a friend who does says it's exquisite. He'll be hitting Town Hall tonight to read from it. The Town Hall site sums up the story quite well: "Burrough’s dark story follows the radical pendulum swing between love and hate—stunning psychological cruelty, and ultimately, the redemptive power of hope."
7:30 p.m. // Town Hall // Free tickets required, available at University Book Store
ONLINE GAMES/GEEK SQUADDING: The ION Game Conference kicks off tonight at the Seattle Waterfront Marriott. This Seattlest really knows nothing about the allure of online gaming, much less the scientific fascination, but we figure some of you probably do. This is the 2nd Annual ION Game Conference, and it runs tonight through Thursday. Unfortunately, online registration closed last week.
8 p.m. // Seattle Marriott Waterfront // Registration Closed
THE BAND, THE MOVIE, THE BRILLIANCE: It's kind of drizzly out there, which makes it the perfect night to curl up with a bag of popcorn and a latte at SIFF Cinema and watch some folk music on the screen. The Last Waltz is showing tonight only. It's a concert film wherein The Band welcomed Dylan, Clapton, Muddy Waters, Emmylou, and a slew of other notables to perform with them.
7:30 p.m. // SIFF Cinema // $10 gen., $8 seniors/students, $5 supporters
