Mike Min, local Genius of Iron Composer and Seattle School fame, has assembled a soundtrack of "every nook and cranny of weird and gorgeous Seattle," seventeen tracks to be best experienced traveling around town by bike.

There are plenty of us for whom both the successful season of the Seahawks and the less-than-stellar season of the Supersonics mean absolutely nothing, other than potential for increased traffic. While we may watch highlights on ESPN, most professional sports just don't have any appeal. Watching the less than heralded sports is where the real action is. Who doesn't marvel at the technique of Kobayashi, the overexcited commentators of the dart championships, or the sublime grace of curling? For sheer entertainment, it's the offbeat competitions that can't be beat, and they're well worth the strange looks you get when you tell people what you're doing with your time. We've already touched on Seattle's propensity for finding new ways to declare winners and losers, part of the reason we love this town. Tonight features two very different takes on the "battle" concept, one for head nodding, the other for more corporeal reactions.

Maybe Seattle doesn’t have a river to dye green just for the occasion, but there are still scads of St. Patrick’s Day activities here in the Emerald City.

Dearly Beloved, we are gathered together here in the Crocodile with Tennis Pro, the Jeunes, Pleasurecraft, and Math and Physics Club--and in the face of this company--to join together this man and this woman in imaginary matrimony, which is commended to be honorable among all men; and therefore--is not by any--to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly--but reverently, discreetly, advisedly and solemnly. Into this imaginary estate these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together--let them speak now or forever hold their peace.
