Where's Waldo? by cakespy After yesterday's melodrama, this pic is here to lighten the mood. Add your light-hearted images to the Seattlest Flickr Pool.......

We're not sure if Metro planned to give us an extra day of the old fares by scheduling the new ones to take affect tomorrow (the day after Leap Day), but we sure do appreciate it. Either way, please remember that as of tomorrow off-peak fares will be $1.50 and peak fares will be $1.75. Youth and seniors will keep paying what they've been paying until July, by the way. As a part of our......

Seattle-related only in the sense that we are but a minor gathering within the greater worldwide collection of souls who understand why Radiohead is the greatest band ever. Found this gem on the webs today. Thought it best to share, for those of us who've yet to come across it. It's a video made "for New Year's Eve, 2007" and features Radiohead performing every song from In Rainbows. Speaking of In Rainbows, color us curious.........

Seattlest once got lost in Kmart while our mom was trying to buy our brother clothing, and we're still reeling from it one week later. So we're curious about a story that the Times has picked up from the AP, reporting that some national parks and search and rescue organizations will be testing out a radio transmitter system originally designed to help law enforcement types find disabled people (primarily those with Alzheimer's or autism) who......

Wednesday, November 29 >>>Third Place Books, 7:00pm. Another weighty tome, Unreleased Beatles by Richie Unterberger, to add to your Beatles-only reference section. It details the shitload of stuff that was recorded but, you know, forgotten about what with being so high at the time, plus the whole headtrip with Yoko. Free with OCD collecting disorder. >>>University Bookstore, 7:00pm. Elizabeth George backtracks: in her last Inspector Lynley mystery, the Inspector's wife was killed. In What......

A while ago we brought up Tuning the Air...um, was it April? Last night, we finally made it out to Ballard to check out the circular guitar ensemble and were not disappointed. This is the second year of Tuning the Air's Monday night performances in the North Annex of Trinity Methodist Church. The 45-minute shows begin at 8pm (doors at 7:45pm), and the suggested donation is $5. You go inside, you go up some......

DCist is screwed in the event of an oil crisis. Not that we're not all screwed in the event of an oil crisis, just D.C. is more screwed. Don't sell your car yet, District resident, a cabbie can kick you to the curb if he doesn't like your address. Not even Metro can save you now. Londonist experiences the London of the future through the wonders of 3D modeling, but while the 3D guys are......

We noted the arrival of some new water rat to the Seattle area on Friday, but after every single newspaper in the entire free world printed the AP story about it over the weekend maybe we should note it again. We're also going to note that nearly everyone who printed the article was fine with the AP headline, "South American Rodents Found in Seattle." Descriptive, but not all that punchy. You know, fine for the......

ConWorks has been bringing some interesting acts into their renovated lobby/stage space. The diversity in the inaugural lineup is nothing short of impressive, ranging from jazz to electronic music, from those with followings to the more obscure. The primary issue thus far has seemed to stem from a strong lack of promotion. Perhaps the art crowd is in the know, but knowledge of this set of events has yet to really percolate into the public.......

Seattlest wants to introduce you to Hardison. Take a moment. It's worth it. You can find some of their mp3s for download here. Time & Cash is Jacksonville-native and Seattle-transplant Shawn Hardison’s third album with Dig Records, after Sun Bros. and Dead Comedians. Jon Ervie (Presidents of the United States of America, Ruston Mire, Sir Mix-A-Lot) produced the new album, a collection that includes Hardison’s first fusion song, with Ishmael Butler of Cherrywine (aka......

John Hodgman, Writer, has offered up fascinating insights into himself for our sister publication, Gothamist. He's created smarty-pants user-generated content for McSweeney's and This American Life. And Mr. Hodgman, Writer, has published a book, The Areas of My Expertise, in which he makes up a bunch of facts. (Like that's not a contradiction in terms. Did you think no one would notice, Mr. Hodgman? Must you lie to us to be funny?) Basically, the book......

What exactly is behind our sudden fascination with "found" material? Are we simply so enamoured with the cheap voyueristic thrills that reality television affords us that we've begun seeking out similar glimpses into the lives of others? Get away from that window you freak! Perverts... Can you explain the popularity of Overhead In New York? Our brothers in arms at Chicagoist picked up on the idea as well, as has Torontoist. Is that muffled......

Lately it seems that Seattlest has had our collective mind in the gutter. What we can say? We're a depraved bunch. Apropos of that, we'd like to bring your attention to the little publication known as Dirty Found. It's just like sister mag Found, in that it's comprised of random stuff that people, yes, found and then sent in---except all of these items are sex-related. Seattlest thought of the salacious magazine this weekend when we......

Poor little kittens who've lost their mittens, as well as pubgoers who've drunkenly or boneheadedly left sweaters, scarves, who knows what behind: now's your chance to buy it back. Sunday afternoon at the Mirabeau Room you can peruse Lost & Found, a collection of items left behind at Seattle nightspots, and snap up (possibly smelly) bargains. All proceeds go to the VERA Project and the William Booth Center. Sunday, July 10, 1-6 pm The......

Seattlest loves Chinese food, but has been spoiled rotten by our (Chinese) grandma's home cooking. We had given up, several years ago, on finding a restaurant that could compare. But then we met our downstairs neighbor who took Seattlest out to Sichuanese Cuisine and, dare we say it? Found some of the dishes to be just as good as grandma's.........

Seattlest is continually amazed at how many transplanted New Yorkers live here in the Northwest. Their numbers are matched only by the number of Northwesterners who dream of someday moving to the Big Apple. To sate the desires of both groups, and to point out some of the benefits of living in Seattle, we are launching this new feature: Awesome Things in New York That You Can Find in Seattle vs. Awesome Things Found......
