Sadly due to snow and the fact that Capital Hill consists entirely of hills, this show is cancelled. But don't fret, Miss Dank has promised to reschedule. Yay! more ›

I GAVE HER MY HEART, SHE GAVE ME A PEN: Lloyd Dobler, we'd give you our hearts any day. Since it's too cold to go hold a boombox outside someone's window, why don't you cozy up inside with food and a beer and watch an '80s classic? We're thankful for Cameron Crowe's Say Anything. more ›

BOLERRRRRO!!: Pink Martini rocks our socks off. Covers, culture, coolness. What better setting to see them perform than the lovely Chateau Ste. Michelle? Get some wine, get a good seat, and relish the awesome. more ›

CONSIGNMENT aren't you so sick of Mondays? I know. Us too. They just keep happening, it's so ridiculous. But there remains hope for a fun evening out tonight, and we've got you covered.

Much to the shock of the safety-first set, we run at night, without one of those hi-viz vests. Once, when we were running past the Comet Tavern, a frat boy emerged and accompanied us a couple of blocks, 'til he fell down, laughing. more ›

Seattlest is excited to travel down memory lane this Saturday with Girl Trouble at the Comet Tavern. Of all the bars associated with the heyday of the late 80's Seattle scene, the Comet remains most true to its roots with true grit, no credit cards, and cheap beer on tap. The same can be said of Tacoma's Girl Trouble, who in 2004 celebrated twenty years of knocking on the music industry's door. more ›
