Can't Miss It: Weekend Edition, Jan. 9-11
LADY SINGERS: Sera Cahoone is an alt.country goddess-in-the-making, and to hear Seattlest Kim tell it, so is Zoe Muth. The two local musicians are reason enough to get yourself on over to Tractor Tavern tonight for some beautiful, rockin' tunes and a cold beer or two. Don't forget to wear your sexiest cowboy boots.
9:30 p.m., Friday // Tractor Tavern // $10adv, $12 tonight // 21+
ONE MAN'S JUNK: Get your mind out of the gutter. We're talking about items, various and sundry, that maybe your grandpa kept in his attic for some reason and your grandma never quite succeeded in getting him to throw away. He might have forgotten the story behind his collection of Pacific Northwest artifacts, but that doesn't mean the stories are lost forever; the Burke Museum's experts might be able to help you recover some of that history if you take your items to them tomorrow for examination.
1 - 4 p.m., Saturday // Burke Museum // museum admission price, typically $9.50
DOUBLE-JOINTED ENTERTAINERS: Acrobats have to develop the most unconventional muscles. Often, where the average Joe would use a muscle to pull on one attachment, say, the bicep pulling on the fore-arm, the acrobat uses his or her muscles to pull on its other attachment. The effect is mind-boggling, and we haven't even started talking about how flexible and strong acrobats must be in order to pull off their tricks. Check out the Peking Acrobats from China at the Broadway Center For The Performing Arts to remind yourself of the many wonders and potential of the human body, and remember--don't try that at home.
3 p.m., Sunday // Broadway Center // $16, $29, $40 (purchase tickets here)
