A great shot from a shit day by pdgibson in our Flickr Pool.

[Full Disclosure: We were in APP (then called "IPP") from 1st-8th grade.]

The Mojo and the Sayso which opened at ACT last night is four actors and a car, but the car is the thing, the main entity. The car is the set, the stage, and the focal character. It may not have any lines, but it stands in for everything that moves playwright Aisha Rahman's story forward. It's the absent child, gunned down by aggro off-duty cops, it's the broken family, being rebuilt from the ground up with parts scavenged from here or there, it's the hard facts of terrestrial life in the face of the easy fixes of shyster spirituality. Jennifer Zeyl designed the set. She's a genius, we hear.

Keeping with today's apparent Seattlest themes of cute little references to the past and Comcast, we'd like to tell you about a complaint we have. Remember that guy a few years ago who refused to get a cell phone and what a pain in the ass it was to hook up with him? "I'll meet you at the North gate at 8 o'clock, or, if I'm not there, at the unintelligable gate at 9:45. And I won't forget the tickets this time."

It may be one of the subjects the P-I used to deride the City Council lately, but we're happy to see someone paying attention to a form of recreation in this city that doesn't involve fleece, lycra or gortex. Skateboarding exists in the collective mind of the city government - That's a good thing.

Picture the scene: Seattlest staff hunched over our Underwoods, trying to crank out a Pulitzer piece before deadline, the offices wreathed in Dan's editorial smoke -- and the phone rings. "Hello? Hello! Hold the line!" It's the local theaters, the Rep and Intiman, begging for attention. Actors! So needy.

Seattlest dropped in at the Seattle Rep for the late August Wilson's final play in his ten-cycle series, Radio Golf. It's playing through February 18, and well worth making a trip to the Rep for, if only for the chance to see a Seattle theater audience that's not almost exclusively white. Tickets range from $22 - $36 ($10 if you're under 25 with ID). There are also rush prices 30 minutes before each performance.

Local Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright August Wilson died today. He had disclosed earlier this summer that he was suffering from terminal liver cancer. The Capitol Hill resident was 60.

When can the Tyrone Willingham Era be said to begin?

All the extra money you've been shelling out for car tabs will actually be used for something. The P-I reports this morning that the Seattle Monorail Project has reached agreement with contractors to build the Green Line, from Ballard to West Seattle. The first passengers would board in 2010.

Baseball season is underway, and, unless they are Tampa Bay Devil Rays, major league hitters can once again enjoy the sharp pleasure of cleanly striking a pitched ball.
