We've been following the Dead Prez/Evergreen State College story here, here, and definitely here in our search to understand what actually happened after that hip hop concert. It certainly was not the beginning of a revolution, as Evergreen students have been protesting anything and everything since time began; it also wasn't The Man reenacting Tien'anmen Square. more ›

From the buzz circulating the budding career of Josh Blue, we thought his Saturday evening performance at the Kirkland Performance Center would be full of self-deprecating and occasionally awkward humor. It was not. more ›

Evergreen State College alumni and fourth-season winner of Last Comic Standing, Josh Blue is coming to the Kirkland Performance Center (KPC) this Saturday. We're looking forward to an evening of self-deprecating humor, as Blue’s comedy stems from his personal experiences of living with cerebral palsy. Blue hopes to dispel stereotypical myths about the "disabled" through stand-up comedy and what he calls "reverse teasing." (His comedy routine is not recommended for children under 16 years old, by the way.) more ›

Writing on The New Republic Online in November, 2006, James Kirchick snarkily commented, "Of all the subjects for a 90-minute, one-woman show, Rachel Corrie ought to have been at the bottom of the list." Rachel Corrie was an Olympia native and Evergreen State College student who, in March 2003, while working with the International Solidarity Movement, was killed by an Israeli bulldozer destroying Palestinian homes. And frankly, before seeing Seattle Rep's production of My Name is Rachel Corrie, we tended to agree with Kirchick, albeit for completely different reasons. more ›

Strapped for reading material at a Dairy Queen this weekend, Seattlest picked up a guide to the Evergreen State Fair. An article touting the benefits of taking transit to the fair caught our eye. "Good sign," we thought. "Transit options up north!" more ›

Governor Gregoire, apparently unaware that her job could be taken from her in two and a half years, is leaving it up the state's National Guardsmen whether they want to patrol the US-Mexico border. President Bush is sending 6,000 National Guard members to the Southern border to end the problem of people entering the country illegally. more ›

Courtney Love) and we more or less recall the political foment of The Evergreen State College, the lo-pro, no-letter-grades hothouse that produced Rachel Corrie, the student-activist who was killed when she was struck by bulldozer in Gaza three years ago today. more ›

Consider “The Other Washington”… Which one is it? more ›

We’ve always been intrigued by corn mazes -- especially since, if memory serves, one was once made out of Ichiro’s face -- but we’ve never tried one ourselves. So we recently spent an autumn afternoon in the Snohomish River Valley, about a 35-mile drive north of Seattle, visiting “Washington’s Largest Corn Maze”. It’s actually a 12-acre stand shaped like the Evergreen State, roughly 1/3,802,827th the size. more ›

Tonight at 7 pm, NCAA basketball teams may begin practicing. Many teams will celebrate the advent of a new season with "Midnight Madness"--an evening practice (often with dunk contests and other crowd-pleasing antics) that fans can view for free. Until this year, teams couldn't practice until midnight, hence the name. more ›
