On Saturday, we took our godson, his mom and his dad to Baby Loves Disco. Since we don't have a kid of our own and don't have any experience with kid-themed events, 17-month-old Eli agreed to let us interview him about the party.

Making up for weeks of hibernation and workaholism, Kim will hit the parties this weekend. Tonight, she’ll don her Groucho glasses for a lesbian function at Jabu’s celebrating the births of her two favorite Sagitarii. Saturday, it’s to the War Room for a company party with the missus and her workmates. Finally, she’ll ship off to the sub-tropics on Monday, where she’ll spend what remains of 2007.

The glorious fall sunsets have disappeared along with the mouldering husks of Halloween pumpkins, and according the weather report, we can all expect a long, cold, wet weekend. But this being the Northwest, that's never stopped us from getting out and about; here's the weekend plans of your intrepid Seattlest contributors:

--Galloping towards the new Narrows date.

Multi-multi-multi-instrumentalists Battles are on tour in support of their first full-length, Mirrored, which just so happens to be one of the best-reviewed albums so far this year. That really shouldn't come as a surprise, considering the pedigree: the electro/math rock foursome includes former members of seminal post-rock bands Helmet, Lynx, and Don Cabellero. So sez the glowing Pitchfork review:

Okay, okay. So Pride is actually going to happen. Even now, on the precipice of this extraordinary weekend celebration o' gayness, all our friends have no effing clue what's going on. If they, in all their gay glory, don't have a clue, we figured maybe you don't either. But Seattlest is here for you in these tough times and that's why we're gonna break it down all easy-like and tell you what we think is worth bothering with.

Our first taste of the 2007 Bumbershoot lineup leaves us hungry for so much more.

In the early '90s, we never guessed that "Groove Is in the Heart" would cross generations. But when DJ Derek Mazzone pumped the peppy sounds of Dee-Lite through the speakers shortly after we arrived at Baby Loves Disco, Little Miss Seattlest channeled Lady Miss Kier, shaking her diapered booty with a vengeance. Baby Loves Disco is a cross-country phenomenon, at least among parents. The line outside Chop Suey at 11:10 Sunday morning testified to...

This coming Monday 27th, Seattlest will be swilling gin & tonics at our fave music venue, the Showbox, and steeping ourselves in the cleverly multifarious sounds of Toronto band, Metric.

It's cold outside. The clouds have decided to leave their precipitatory dandruff all over the damn place, putting the entire region into a "Blizzard 2005!!!" tizzy. That sets the bar pretty high for an outing, since a quiet evening in a warm home is even more appealing. That said, tonight has not one, not two, but three events that should be able to keep you warm. You could probably hit up all three if you were really ambitious, doing some musical layering in addition to that of the apparel variety.

We're a little burned out. Between the music festivals, block parties, and other great shows that have come through town, it's hard to sustain the usual level of enthusiasm. It'd take something big to get us excited, and thankfully the Decibel Festival is here to stoke our musical fires.
