Can't Miss It: Tuesday

COME ON AND SAFARI WITH ME: Seattlest's first concert of note was the Beach Boys at the Brevard County Fair in Central Florida. We walked into a trash can, and somehow that's the part of the night we most remember. John Stamos was there playing the bongos. Otherwise, we couldn't really tell you much about the show. That was 20 years ago. So, we have to kind of Salute the Boys (sans Brian Wilson) for still playing shows. Tonight's performance will benefit Children's Hospital. So you can get your "Kokomo" on and support a good cause at the same time.

5:30 p.m. gates, 7:30 show // Safeco Field // $15-100

THE NEW CONDO CITY BROADWAY: Down on the north end of Broadway, round about the new Brix condos, there's a new restaurant opening today called Poppy. Their thali selection includes tasty options like braised basil chicken with chanterelle and fingerling potatoes in cumin salt. To that, we give a big, fat YUM! We suggest you make your reservation now.

AT THE THEATAH: Intiman is presenting a casual community reading of Robert Penn Warren's exceptional story All the King's Men, as adapted for the stage by Adrian Hall. This is one of our favorite novels ever, maybe just because we have an odd fascination for Huey P. Long, on whom Warren's Willie Stark is loosely based. But, once the reading is over, there'll be a talk about how the story's themes still resonate during this year's political season. Audience participation is encouraged.

7:30 p.m. // Town Hall // Free
