Can't Miss It: Monday
"Bite Me!" is a photo by Synapped, helpfully tagged "thanksgiving" and dropped into our Seattlest Flickr pool.
EARLY DISMISSAL: All over the Puget Sound, schools are releasing their charges early today, in celebration of Thanksgiving so teachers can drink their way through an entire happy hour. If you have kids, make a special point to pick them up on time--letting them fend for themselves is one thing in spring, but it's cold out. Also, and we speak from personal experience, they take being forgotten at school personally.

"HARVEY" "MILK": Oh, it's no joke. We're suggesting a double-feature of the Jimmy Stewart classic Harvey and Milk, the brand-new Harvey Milk biopic starring Sean Penn (which is getting strong reviews). As you know, Harvey is the movie about the six-foot-tall invisible rabbit and Milk is the one about the assassinated SF gay icon. We can't believe no one else has noticed they make the perfect double-feature.
Harvey 7 & 9 p.m., Milk 1, 4, 7, 9:50 p.m. // Harvey @ the Grand Illusion; Milk @ the Egyptian // $7-$9.50
POST-PUNK PRATTLE: Punk survivor Henry Rollins brings his spoken word tour to the Moore tonight: "Hoping that the bad times are almost over, I am taking advantage of the current situation to spend the last few nights of the catastrophic Bush administration onstage." The word is to "expect an exhaustive, passionate three-hour performance full of Rollins' trademarks: thought-provoking anecdotes and stamina testing rants all presented with a big, contagious smile."
8 p.m. // the Moore Theatre // Tickets $25

Damn, that thing looks more like a cobra than a turkey.
My mom forgot to pick me up on my first day of kindergarten, which also happened to be my fifth birthday. Totally plumb slipped her mind.
PARENTS, DON'T FORGET YOUR KIDS, they will hold it against you forever!
Ha -
Just re-watched Paul Newman's performance in the movie of Russo's Nobody's Fool. Great book, pretty darn good movie. Big plot point ends up being his forgetting his grandson, standing out in the upstate cold. I guess if this happened to you, it must really hurt.
My parents were serial offenders--at the time I didn't really cut them slack for having five other kids to look after. It's embarrassing to have to repeatedly ask to use the school phone to see where your ride is. "Forgot again, huh?"
*weeps at the memory*
Thus my keen interest in public transit!
