Hitch up your Gumby trousers and polish those silly walks, as John Cleese is coming to town. Best known for his work in Monty Python [adjusts glasses] Cleese also co-wrote and starred in Fawlty Towers, which is the funniest sitcom ever. The ticket presale for his November 3 show at the Moore begins tomorrow at 10 am. This will be the ticket link--the promo code is "dance". Tickets are $45-55.

BEGLEY VISION: We don't know about you but we are stoked about this visit from Ed Begley, Jr., who wants to tell us all about--and write his name on--his new book, Living Like Ed: A Guide To Eco-Friendly Life. It's not clear if Ed bicycled up here from L.A., but you know he could have. The Siskiyou Pass would have been a challenge on a bike this time of year, though, so maybe he stuck with his electric car or jet or what-have-you. The great thing about Ed, really, is that he's (in)famous in L.A. for riding that bicycle--you know, holy shit! a bicycle! A man is riding a bicycle! L.A. could just choke on its exhaust and it wouldn't bug us. If Ed was out of town at the time, we mean.

WHO WILL SAVE YOUR SOUL?: Wow, Seattlest really loved that song when Jewel first came out back in '96. When we went to Lilith Fair, Jewel's set was the one we thought we'd skip and go have dinner during. Then she started, and she was an absolutely captivating performer. We're not totally sure what she's been up to all these years since then, but we can vouch for the truth of the matter that Jewel puts on a great show. If you're looking for some good live music tonight, she may just be the best thing going on.

KIDS MUSIC: You know you've made it when you can send your affiliates out on tour. The Wiggles have sent Dorothy the Dinosaur, Captain Feathersword, Wags the Dog, and Henry the Octopus to host a Wiggle-tastic dance party. For those of you with kids it might be a great idea, but we'll be playing our own character, General WatchESPNAllDay.

Saturday night Neko Case came to the Moore Theater, and the Seattle Times and Post-Intelligencer covered it. Now that she's from Canada, see, she gets all sorts of attention. Of course, she's also a well-known Satanist.

Truthfully, we don't know that much about this event, but judging by the people involved and the press that's already out there we think it's going to be worth your Saturday night. The Degenerate Art Emsemble is a 45 piece orchestra composed of "adventurous classical and improvising musicians."
