Can't Miss It: Tuesday
GOOD OL' FASHIONED MINI-GOLF: South Park may have recently lost their beloved bridge but dammit they still know how to have a good time. If like us, you've complained at least once about Seattle not having any decent mini-golf we highly recommend that you head down south for the night. In honor of the national Night Out Against Crime, South Park will be transforming the 800 block of South Thistle Street into a mini-golf course, compliments of local South Park and Seattle artists. And in addition to playing mini-golf in the streets without the cops harassing you, there will be live music and free food at the nearby community center. FUN!
6:00 p.m. // 800 S. Thistle St. // FREE
SUPER GOOD "LOVE" STORY: Gary Shteyngart will be reading from his third novel Super Sad True Love Story tonight at Third Place Books, Lake Forest Park. Besides the fact that this book has visually caught our eye every time we've walked into Elliott Bay Books lately and that the description reminds us lovingly of a Vonnegut-esque plot, we hear that Love Story is a fantastic, darkly humorous read. Expect plenty of rich, spoofy social commentary on the past and the future, a bald patch the size of Ohio, the possibility of immortality for the wealthy, and plenty more where that came from.
7:00 p.m. // Third Place Books LFP, 17171 Bothell Way N.E. // FREE
VERY BEST IN SHOW: Central Cinema will be featuring the always-amazing-even-if-you've-seen-it-a-trillion-times cult classic Best in Show tonight. Besides the fact that this film is ALWAYS funny, we will conveniently remind you that Central Cinema as well has A/C, great beer on tap, and delicious homemade stone oven pizza. Now wouldn't it be great if instead of Groundhog's Day or Dr. Doolittle cable television got the memo and showed Christopher Guest films during the weekend when you're home sick with a cold or a hangover?
7, 9:30 p.m. // Central Cinema // Tickets: $5-7
