Jesus, this is embarrassing. Bastille Day celebrates the liberation of a particularly pungent batch of cheese from the dungeons of the old prison in 1789 (along with seven prisoners) on the 14th of July (le Quatorze). Except here -- where as usual we're a day late and a euro short -- the Seattle Bastille Day festivities are being held on Sunday the 15th at the Seattle Center. What fun is that? The ideal would be to get loaded to the gills on Saturday and roll out for a late, late brunch on Sunday. more ›

Seattlest feels the need to drown our sorrows, thanks in large part to the Dawgs' loss yesterday. Lucky for us the 3rd Annual Hops on Equinox - Spring Beer Festival is taking place today and tomorrow at he Fisher Pavilion on the Seattle Center campus (We'll excuse the fact that the Equinox actually took place five days ago). If you're a fan of the Fremont Oktoberfest, then you'll enjoy this event as well, as it's set up by the same folks. more ›
