If you are either familiar with the "choose your own adventure" style of improv theater, or you're a Star-Trek nerd, and have nothing to do tonight: This showing is for you!
Newest Nerd-Prov from Wing It Productions hits the U-District
Room to Ignite at the King Cat Theatre Tonight
Seattlest went to Ignite way back in '06 and loved the shit out of it: "We learned so much about happenings in and around the Seattle tech world we feel like we leveled up like twenty times."
Messenger Cafe: Serving 1998's Leftovers Today
Okay, one last thing: there's also an area where you can chat with Real Life Moms on Messenger. If there are photos involved, this at least has potential real life internet implications, as explored in this Urban Dictionary entry on the MILF acronym.
All The News
--Pro Bono Geek takes on the fascinating world of political campaigns and copyright law, particularly as it affects the Darcy Burner ads.
Speaking Tour: 10/11 - 10/17
>>>University Temple United Methodist Church, 7:30pm. Religious believers can be co-opted, argues distinguished biologist and secular humanist E.O. Wilson in his talk "The Creation: A Meeting of Science and Religion." Blah blah salvation of biodiversity blah glory of nature blah work together. We dislike this automatic Religion-and-Science connection ("Ballet and Groundskeeping: A New Unity"), but he's a smartie. Could be worth it. .
Elsewhere In The Ist-a-verse
that we want to kill anyone and everyone that makes a "something on a something" joke. But then we realized that there was no way we could ever win this fight, and, hell, if you can't beat them, we might as well join them. And with that, you have the theme of this weeks' Gothamist network post.
Reality Bites
As previously alluded to, Seattlest is unabashed in our love for television. We tend to gravitate toward the good stuff, but we are by no means too highbrow to watch reality TV. Case(s) in point: the gloriously addictive trainwrecks known as Surreal Life 5 and Being Bobby Brown. For us, the viewing of such apocalypse-heralding fare is merely a spectator sport; that is to say, we've got no aspirations to be the castmember who actively works to alienate everyone in the house. While Seattlest is certainly not sociopathic enough to vie for a spot on a reality show, we cannot assume the same is true of our readership. For that reason, we feel the need to announce that America's Next Top Model will be holding auditions in Seattle next week.
