Can't Miss It: Weekend Edition, February 27-March 1

"King Cobra" by gaijinrunner, care of the Seattlest Flickr pool.

THE KING IS DEAD: King Cobra, we hardly knew ye (though Katelyn had nothing but good things to say about your friendly confines).The Capitol Hill club in Sugar's former space never really found its music niche, and considering it's right next door to the Comet and across the street from Neumo's, we're not that surprised it's closing. Tonight the venue goes out with a bang, hosting one last show with an all-local lineup: Neon Nights, All Bets On Death, The Altar Boys, Flexx Bronco, The Pranks, The Valkyries, The Greatest Hits, Hypatia Lake, Blue Ribbon Boys, The Wrecked Chords, and Pain Cocktail. It's your last chance to check out the club, and it's free, so go give 'em some love.

CALL FOR ARTISTS: Seattle School holds auditions tonight for their upcoming opera about the WTO protests, The Anarchist Songbook. Let's hope it's better than Battle in Seattle. Singers, musicians, actors, and general performers are encouraged to try out for lead roles, minor characters, chorus, pit band, and orchestra. The performance is set to debut this fall for the 10th anniversary of the WTO in Seattle, and they've already got their first formal presentation and reading set for next month. So break out your best monologue, and email rachellissman@gmail.com for more details.

SENIOR BLACK LOVE CORRESPONDENT: Medicine for Melancholy soldiers on at the Northwest Film Forum, its run extended through Sunday. Barry Jenkins' debut feature is shot in lovely (occasionally painted over) black and white, because his film deals with issues of race, like duh. Though MfM has been dubbed "African-American mumblecore," it seems a little more scripted than that, with the Daily Show's Wyatt Cynac heavy-lidded and lusting after cat-eyed Tracey Heggins (we don't blame him). Ostensibly it's a love story (with a great soundtrack, btw), but the star-crossed couple also discusses race in the context of gentrified (and only growing moreso) San Francisco. Warning: there will be real-life black people in attendance at the Northwest Film Forum. Do not be afraid; they are there to see the movie just like you.
