Can't Miss It: Tuesday
BLACK CURRANTS AND BELL PEPPER: Cabernet Sauvignon, anyone? Wine tasting alert! For your fiver, you can taste a selection of Cabernet wines--and if you buy a bottle or two to take home, they'll return your tasting fee. We recommend you put on your nice jeans (the clean ones with no holes) and head to Belltown for a swanky but satisfying evening of light, educational indulgence.

AND IIIII'LL BE...YOUR CRYING SHOULDER: The competition is on at Skylark in West Seattle for the honor of being named best karaoke performer of the night. Who will win, and what song will they choose to sing to snag the victory? Your former editor and current sometime Seattlest contributor Kim will be present as a judge, the drinks will be flowing, and one lucky man or woman will emerge the champion--the champion until next month, that is.

GRANDPA ROOSEVELT: Curtis Roosevelt, now quite old enough to be a grandfather himself, is the Roosevelt family historian; he lived with his grandparents, FDR and Eleanor, in the White House for five years, before moving to Seattle with his parents. Because only a very select few people can say they have those illustrious childhood memories, he's publishing a book. Hear him speak at Town Hall tonight, and for God's sake please prepare some intelligent questions for the Q&A.
