Kim might go to some shows at the Triple Door this weekend: Robyn Hitchcock on Saturday and Eleni Mandell on Sunday. Or she might go see Lushy on Saturday at the Skylark. Or she might just take some very long bike rides and spend the evenings recouping. Tomorrow and the next day are anyone's guess. Tonight, however, she'll be playing her own music for free at Trabant in the U-District, and yall should come.

Sunday was the big Cochon 555 event, featuring five pigs, five chefs, and five winemakers. Hundreds of pounds of pork available for eating, and we think we're still digesting some of it. With most of our blood away from the brains and instead the stomach, we present this rambling "piglet" recap of the porkfest. (Check Gastrolust for the full pig report, coming by Thursday.)

Seattlest's wine guy, Ronald, kicks off the weekend by hosting a $75, 5-course, 5-wine wine dinner Friday at Portfolio, the dining room of the Art Institute's culinary academy. (Note: 20 percent discount to Seattlest readers; call 206-239-2363 for reservations.) Saturday night will find him, Barolo in hand, at Mitchelli's for a farewell toast to the venerable "Trat," closing later this month after 32 years in Pioneer Square.
