Seattlest ended up with somewhat of an autumnal equinox-inspired mini-cold this weekend, a condition which put a damper on our plans to partake in extensive martini consumption. Still, we managed to make it to Chapel for the Upper Playground cocktail party, where we discussed Thai food, Ken Kesey, and the visual arts as social thought experiment with local artist and musician Rob Castro. The brightest star of the night was Mear One, who painted and re-painted this stretch of canvas over the course of the five hour party and allowed himself to be the recipient of much gawking on Seattlest's part. The writing in the painting reads, "THE GOV LIES TO YOU."

Stalk of the Town returns! This weekend officially welcomes us to the rainy season. So how will Seattlest be reaffirming life and nourishing our collective creative urge?

DRINK FOR URBAN ART: The second Northwest location of Upper Playground, a San Francisco-based urban art and clothing store, opens this weekend--and there's a swanky cocktail party/gallery viewing at Chapel on Saturday night to celebrate. The clothing and accessories at Upper Playground are the epitome of dope, but what we're really into is the art. For a sample, check out these poster prints of various artists' renderings of Obama, going for $200 a piece. We're particularly fond of this one by Mear One, an artist who will be doing a "live painting" at the Chapel party.
