7:00 p.m. // Central Library,1000 Fourth Avenue // Tickets: Entry is free, you pay for food
FOOD BATTLE IN SEATTLE: What are you doing for lunch Saturday? Really? No, don't do that. Go to Interbay for the Mobile Chowdown instead. Some of Seattle's bet food carts will be competing for your brunch, lunch and mid-afternoon snack appetite. In this competition, no matter who loses, we win, or some variation on that. Skillet, El Camion, Gert's BBQ, Kaosamai Thai, Marination Mobile, and Maximus Minimus will be serving delicious lunch savories. Donte's Inferno Hot Dogs also be there serving Seattle-style hot dogs. Top it all off with a creamy dessert from Parfait.
11:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. // 1616 West Bertona // Tickets: $FREE
SEATTLE GETS EXCITED: Once you've had your fill of delicious street food, go see HUMP, the Stranger's annual amateur, locally produced porn festival. Now in its fifth season, HUMP is both funny and sexy. We're not entirely sure how this is legal, but it sure is entertaining. Once the festival ends, all copies of the films will be destroyed, so now's your chance. Tickets are sold out, but rush tickets are available prior to the show. 18 and over (duh). See the Hump website for times.
