Can't Miss It: Tuesday
LOVE SEATTLEST? Of course you do! Why else would you be reading this? And if you love Seattlest, you must love liquor and Seattlest writers, and you should therefore attend Seattlest Happy Hour at The Lookout. We'll brook no counterarguments.
5-8 p.m. // The Lookout // 757 Bellevue Ave. E // drink specials: $4 wells, $3 microbrews, and $4 wine
CHEESE WHIZ? Counterargument #1: You can't go wrong with trivia night at the Old Pequliar. Tonight is Kevin's turn at the mic, and he's doing rounds on Cheese and Things Canadians Like by player request. (Criswell predicts: poutine.) There will also be the usual photo, audio, and movie rounds, as well as attractive bar staff serving you beer and Irish nachos.
8 p.m. // Old Pequliar // 1722 NW Market St. // $5 or $7, depending on team size
LOVE MYSTERY'S COMPANY? Counterargument #2: A different take on answering questions: Mystery writing. Richard Hugo House is hosting Get a Clue, a moderated panel of award-winning mystery writers. Burning to become the next Lee Child or Anne Perry or Donald J. Sobol? Soak up the knowledge. How to write, how to sell, how to promote: It's the whole package, in the Cabaret, with the candlestick.
7 p.m. // Richard Hugo House // 1634 11th Ave. // FREE
F U N E SF? Counterargument #3: If you prefer your genre more speculative or fantastic, head to the U District to catch SF editor David Hartwell being interviewed by Eileen Gunn. They'll discuss the ever-popular admixture of art and commerce. It's part of the ongoing Clarion West Summer Reading Series.
7 p.m. // U District branch of the University Book Store // 4326 University Way NE // FREE
