Aging Beauty by slightlynorth We were thrilled to meet a few of our favorite local bloggers at Seattlest's Happy Hour last night. Capitol Hill Seattle, Seattle Metblogs, Science vs. Romance, and The P-I's Big Blog were all present and representing.Central District News warns residents to check and make sure all your car parts are still attached. One of their writers was unlucky enough to go to her car one morning and find her fuel pump......

While trolling around some of Seattle's great local blogs for breaking news, we saw this photo that broke our heart: Kitten stealing is definitely a new low! Though, apparently, it's been a problem before at Twice Sold Tales. They take your backpack at the counter in part to avoid cat-napping. So sad. The cats, to this non-allergic bookstore lover, are one of the nicest parts of Twice Sold Tales on Capitol Hill. We, with all......

The Craigslist ad reads:Do you want to earn extra cash blogging about your community? MyZip.net is building the first nationwide network of neighborhood blogs. We will pay you $50 per month for writing about your neighborhood on your own ZIP code site (example http://www.98122.net). We're in favor of this because neighborhood microblogs support our top-secret strategy of using RSS feeds and Google alerts to bring you news as if it happened to us. Also, MyZip.net......

Hey--Seattlest Seth here. As you know, I could talk about sports for hours (Never, ever, sit next to me at a dinner party). And since I don't want Seattlest getting too sports-heavy, I'm moving Tonight's Target over to a new, sports-only blog I started yesterday while listening to the Mariners game on my porch. You'll still get a several-times-weekly sports fix on Seattlest, but if you are a hardcore Seattle sports fan, Enjoy The Enjoyment......

We've been following brand-spankin'-new art blog That Ain't Art, a collaboration between Kirsten Anderson and Celeste Fuechsel of Roq La Rue, Damion Hayes of BLVD, and Larry Reid of the Fantagraphics store. With that lineup, it's no surprise that That Ain't Art's focuses on lowbrow and pop surrealism -- "the alternative art scene in the Northwest," as their about section says. In their first couple of weeks, they've talked up artists and exhibitions, noted with......

Why go to the clubs when there are many hotties working at local business establishments? We've culled Craig's List, the Stranger I Saw U, and local blogs to determine where you, the reader, can find hotties without paying a cover. --Icon Coffee ("radiant and beautiful" barista) --the Starbucks at 2nd and Seneca ("many good-looking and handsome guys") --a local salon (see illustration) --the Ballard Fred Meyer ("incredibly cute brunette" working at the wireless counter) --Stellar......

Proving once and for all that there is literally no issue too inconsequential for human beings to bicker about, the blog I Heart Seattle ripped the Slog a new asshole for, among other things, "lacking clarity and standards," having too much "celebrity gossip," and "not linking to other local blogs." We've had our differences with the Slog...remember when they called us "racist"? And--full disclosure--we've grumbled a bit internally about lack of attribution. But we chalked......

We guarantee there's one person in town who won't be listening to Seattlest Seth on the radio tonight: Seattlest Seth. We have it on good authority that he hates his own voice. The rest of you have no excuse. He'll be discussing his favorite local blogs tonight on John Moe's KUOW show The Works. (Seattlest didn't make the list.) Seth's the first segment, the show begins at 8:06. Other guests include a prosthetic-limbs manufacturer and......

Just a few weeks ago, we attended a coffee-tasting ritual (called a "cupping") at the Victrola, and crazed roasting genius Tony was there, espousing his bean religion with such fervor that we left inspired ourselves, sinuses filled with nutty aroma and hearts jittery as a tambourine. So when we walked in Tuesday morning and heard he'd been "let go," we didn't quite know what to make of it. We clutched at the bar and looked......

Seattle resident Michael Montoure pursues a few of the more solitary activities that mankind has been able to dream up during our time on Earth: writing, web development. Maybe he started the blog community site Seablogs to counter that. We checked in with him recently in an attempt to figure out just what motivates a man to put in the hours necessary to create a directory this extensive. Introduce yourself. Hi, I'm Michael Montoure, a......
