Can't Miss It: Tuesday
FOR THE DESIGNERS: Northwest Film Forum is holding their 10th annual ByDesign Series and tonight features two different selections of short films from the influential husband and wife design team, Charles and Ray Eames. The first selection, Eames Design, documents their private home, Herman Miller furniture, and solar powered kinetic sculpture. The second selection, Eames Communication, includes the duo's short films on communication, science, and new technologies. Considering that these two iconic designers were the main inspiration behind the ByDesign series when it first began a decade ago, this is definitely a not-to-be-missed night for the designers out there.
Design begins at 7:00; Communication at 8:30 p.m. // Northwest Film Forum, 1515 12th Ave. // Tickets: $6-9, for each
CHABON COMES TO TOWN: As we noted yesterday, Michael Chabon will be in town tonight as a part of the Seattle Arts & Lectures 2009-2010 Literary/Arts Series. Chabon will be speaking on "I was Edgar Allan Poe! A true story of imaginary reincarnation, literary influence, and pathetically belated revenge." As an added bonus, if you are a patron ticket holder you're also invited to the W Seattle Hotel for an after-party with Chabon and complimentary wine and hors d'ouevres.
7:30 p.m. // Benaroya Hall, 200 University Street // Tickets: $10-70
GOING SOLO: Theatre Off Jackson presents the 4th annual Solo Performance Festival and tonight features Seattle singer/comedian/actor Lisa Koch with her solo act, Demonstrate the Place of My Abode. Co-writer of past cabaret productions such as Ham for the Holidays: Lard Potion No 9 and The Carpeters: Uncomfortably Close To You and having shared the stage with the likes of Steve Martin and Dave Brubeck, Koch is well-known for her one-woman shows and we're sure that tonight will be no different. Koch will also be joined by Seattle comedian Peggy Platt in her solo performance of Cooking with Peggy.
7:30 p.m. // Theatre off Jackson, 409 7th Ave. S // Tickets: $15
