Morgen's questionable decision leads to some unquestionably awesome Sasquatch! shots. Yes, we know it was almost a week ago, but really--these pictures are excellent.
Sasquatch! Gallery: Bronx, DFA and Foo Fighters Destroy, Plus Cake!
Can't Miss It: Weekend Edition, Oct. 10-12
THE LO DON'T STOP: Camp Lo is two emcees out of the Bronx--Geechi Suede and Sonny Cheeba--who deliver consistently fly, catchy tracks to the masses. Their latest single is called "Lumdi" (listen here), which means something approximating "sexually attractive female." Gonna be a packed show, and a perfect choice if you want to dance and kick off your weekend with some superlative hiphop.
Get Out Saturday: Jerry Gonzalez and the Fort Apache Band @ EMP's Sky Church
When your band's roster (Gonzalez on trumpet and congas; Andy Gonzalez, bass; Larry Willis, piano; Steve Berrios, drums; Joe Ford, sax/flute) has been in place since 1990, you have time to develop the musical telepathy that makes jazz jazz. And when that telepathy communicates both the bebop-and-beyond mainstream and Puerto Rican popular music (via the Bronx), you have an unusually savory mix.
Tony Wroten, Who Some Say Will Be Seattle's Best Basketball Player Ever, Makes His Metro League Debut Tonight
Franklin vs. Garfield is one of the Seattle sports events that you just shouldn't miss. Here's what we wrote about it for The Stranger in September:
True local hoops fans don't miss this game between two perennial inner-city basketball powerhouses, even at the cost of connubial tranquility. The 2005 game at Garfield fell on Valentine's Day, but happily married Husky basketball coach Lorenzo Romar was there anyway. A win in this game means neighborhood bragging rights for the rest of your life.Tonight's game will be more special than usual, as it's the Metro League debut of Garfield's Tony Wroten, Jr., who national rankings service HoopScoopOnline says is the best 9th-grade basketball player in the country. (Yes, there are people who track 9th-grade basketball. There are people who track 5th-grade basketball.)
I Hate Your Team and So Does Jesus: A 2007 Seattle Mariners Preview
Today is Mariners Opening Day, and we are feeling optimistic (buoyed mostly by the two dollar Rainiers at the Triangle). However, there are people in the world who don't like the Mariners. One of those people is our college friend Bill Arkansaw, who besides being an A's fan also loves to punch kittens in their face. We asked Arkansaw to preview the upcoming Mariners season.
Habits Put Collars Down in Doubt
If you go see only one play about possibly pedophiliac priests this year, we can heartily recommend you make it John Patrick Shanley's Doubt. Shanley's play, set the year after Zapruder's Zoomatic became famous, pulls you back into the context of a much different time, when nuns wore habits, the Catholic Mass was a mumbled Latin, and the priesthood enjoyed a less tarnished status.
Your Seattle Dream Team
Nate Robinson, Brandon Roy, Jamal Crawford and Spencer Hawes on one squad. Our fantasy basketball team circa 2008?
