But we don’t get the people that hike Discovery Park, that choose to spend their time appreciating nature's beauty, and still have the nerve or sociopathic disregard to throw their garbage on the beach or trail. These creeps shift our lazy personality profiling system of out whack. Who does that? Who likes nature enough to seek it out but not enough to respect it for convenience's sake? more ›

Seattlest arrived on scene soon after the Capitol Hill Block Party had opened. We wandered, checked out the stage locations and thought about getting a beer, then spotted a booth touting free bottled water. It looked like the booth had something to do with praying to the Earth Spirits or some other new wave white hippy crap, but we decided to take our chances. We asked for a water and oddly enough their were no questions asked of Seattlest, no "Is your spirit at peace with the world?" or "Do you ever cry for Mother Nature?" We did, however, get thoroughly eye-fucked by our water purveyor. We told him thank you, took a mental bath and off we went to hear some music. (And before you reactionaries out there start accusing us of homophobia, get over yourselves. We're not talking about getting "checked out." We're talking about a look that said, Right now, in my mind, I'm eating spaghetti off of your chest.) more ›

Seattlest went to one of those liberal-arts, don't-know-your-grades, frisbee-throwing, dialetical-discoursing, call-your-professor-by-their-first-name NW colleges. No, not that one, the other one. What do you think we are, some kind of shade-grown coffee-drinking hippie? Kee-rist. more ›

DCist helps us make more sense of the world this week. Posts like this concert review are the reason for Scott Stapp. DCist also enumerates the reasons for playing ultimate frisbee, Condi’s tight buns, their love of a local convenience store, and their jealousy of a person in Seattle calling the city. more ›

Face it, you're getting old. Despite your best efforts, Father Time and Mother Nature are doing a number on your body, mind, and soul. You wake up to achey joints, you're worried about your 401k, and you spend your days working for "The Man" instead of following your dreams. So you go to the gym (or at least say you will) realizing it's a losing battle, read books to stay sharp, and try to not admit that you really don't get "that noise that the kids are into these days." Where did it all go wrong? more ›

After Mother Nature decided to make up for an unusually mild winter with a sudden few weeks of cold and rain, the sudden appearance of actual spring weather has had Seattlest keeping an eye out for every sign of spring we can find. more ›

Mother Nature is relentlessly dishing out day after glorious day of perfect sailing weather—leaving Seattlest in a westerly-facing, boating daydream. Fortunately, that steady northerly breeze is backed up by a healthy dose of opportunity, including the best boating bargain in town. more ›
