WHERE DOES CREATIVITY COME FROM?: For a city filled with a decent amount of creatives, advertising folks, and clients that always want the Big Idea, newest movie Art & Copy is a must see. The film, created by acclaimed documentary director Doug Pray (Hype!, Scratch, Big Rig), riffles through the minds of the ad industry's most creative and iconic product pushers. After tonight's 7:00 p.m. showing, select Seattle creatives and ad folks will host a discussion panel about the film.

If you're driving a white Subaru and in a hurry, you might want to give the Critical Mass bike ride a wide berth this afternoon. The scourge of Western civilization will be meeting up at Westlake Center at 5:30 p.m., with a UW "cell" leaving Red Square at 5:00 p.m. and heading to Westlake to join the main insurgency. Goddamn fixies everywhere! The SPD will be out in force, but we echo the concerned P-I commenter who asks: "Why is the Seattle Police Department allowing urban terrorists to run amok? This is one of the most idiotic molly-coddling of criminals I've ever heard of." It's probably not too much to say that the entire city is shivering in fear right about now.

Last night, as we were making some Niman Ranch sausage, some Critical Mass bicyclists were almost turned into sausage in the street outside. (We mention the kind of sausage because had it been cut-rate, we might have poked our heads out to take a look, but it wasn't and we were hungry.)

As a driver, we admit we've cursed our bicycle brethren more than once and occasionally blamed them for things far beyond their two-wheeled control. That being said, we've never blamed cyclists for interstate or highway traffic, but after an incident on I-5 yesterday, that may change.
