Party-planning troika Seattlest and Seattle Metblogs, and CHS want to hold a special BlogsGiving Evening (TM) around mid-November, and we're soliciting suggestions for a venue that can hold about 75-100 thirsty and slightly hungry people and their iPhones, laptops, and digital cameras. If you or a venue you know would like to be part of this evening to benefit inter-blog amity and a local food bank, please drop us a line: editor at seattlest.com. Our operators are standing by!

Nearly two months ago, we reported the story of Theresa Heckl, who accidently donated a fake soup can safe full of jewelry, including her wedding ring, to charity. We, like Heckl and everyone else who read the story, assumed that the jewelry was gone for good--that her misfortune was someone else's lucky day.

No, the Other Theater: The new movies out this weekend are shite, so this is your chance to catch up on the wealth of quality films already in theaters. Babel, Borat, Casino Royale, For Your Consideration, The Fountain, Little Children, Marie Antoinette, The Queen, Stranger Than Fiction, and Volver are all continuing their Seattle runs. Go now before you get back-logged further with the scads of Oscar contenders released later this month.

Seattlest knows that not everyone is having a swell time in Bush's economy. Often people have to get some help with groceries by heading to our fine city's several food banks. We here have decided to give you a bit of a reference on these food banks if you were so inclined to donate either time, money or canned goods.
