Tera will be catching the Saturday evening premiere of Spring Awakening at the Paramount. Saturday evening will be followed with a leisurely plane ride to Orlando where she’ll be trying out for the Mickey Mouse Club, or riding rollercoasters--however you want to look at it.

Holly Crap, Seattlest Seth picked Albany over Virginia.

Washington State 70, Oral Roberts 54: Oral Roberts was the trendy upset pick--nearly 25% of ESPN users expected Wazzu to Coug it (by comparison, less than 5% had #3-seed Oregon losing)--but our faith in Wazzu didn't waver. Though it was close at halftime, we predicted that Wazzu would play their typical strangling defense to open the second half, and they proved us right, holding O-Rob to one field goal in the first six minutes of period two.

No Dawgs in the tourney this year and no Seattlest bracket to fill out, but apparently they're going to play the thing anyway and we're inviting you to avoid the office for as long as possible with us on Friday at Spitfire. Come first thing in the morning. Come for a long lunch (I'll probably do this). Skip out early and show up at 3 (or this).

Sweet mama, that is some good shit.

Crafty hipsters will gather Sunday at the Crocodile for yet another installment of I Heart Rummage.
