'70S NOSTALGIA: Called "the perfect musical antiheroes for the Seventies” by the Rolling Stones, the not oft-toured band, Steely Dan, makes an appearance at the Chateau Ste. Michelle out in Woodinville. Drive out to the beautiful winery, have a glass, and remember the days in which people stood in line at the gas stations and screamed at each other, rather than simply paying through the nose for a full tank.

7:00 p.m. // Chateau Ste. Michelle, 14111 N.E. 145th St., Woodinville // $59.50, General Admission

CONSUME: The Nordstrom Anniversary sale is back. We were introduced to this sale by a group of women who met at the Starbucks across the street from the downtown store at 6:00 a.m., in order to be the first to get the best deals. Look your best for better prices.

Through August 3rd, 2008 // Nordstrom Stores // Prices vary

FEAR THIS OPEN MIC: Angry Joe's Open Mic Night is at Blue Moon Tavern, a trusty dive bar with a ton of history in the U-district. We confess, we've never been, but with a name like "Angry Joe," we're betting this open mic is a Can't Miss for people with heavy things on their minds. Happy hour is from 4:30-6:30 p.m.

8:00 p.m. sign-up, 9:00 p.m. start // Blue Moon Tavern // Free
