ROCK OF LOVE: Volunteer organization Seattle Works makes positive civic action as easy as it can possibly be. Volunteer, show up, do good. Kids, women at risk, food banks, education and conservation causes all benefit from Seattle Works volunteers. For nearly 21 years, the organization has given 20- and 30-somethings endless opportunities to help improve Seattle and themselves. They have 14 projects in August alone. There are a dozen in September. Tonight's opportunity is a little bit different. Team Up for Nonprofits presents Gigs4Good, a music event with proceeds benefiting Seattle Works. The night features musician Alex Mercier, Thick as Thieves, and local group Bekker. Olympic speed skating medalist J.R. Celski will be in attendance. It won't be manual labor, but it'll be fun anyway. Show up, do good. more ›

Apparently, there is something out there called 'nature.' It has trees and birds and such things. We are a little scared of it. If you, on the other hand, are more intrepid than we are and you also happen to enjoy the indie rock, head over to the Gorge Amphitheater tomorrow to see the Sasquatch Music Festival. As you most likely know, the lineup features the Pixies, Wilco, Modest Mouse, Kanye West, the Dears, Arcade Fire, the Bloc Party and more. The lineup is awesome, but we are a little biased towards ceilings, walls and climate control, but that's just us. more ›
