Er, not quite. There is an actual, physical monster in Cloverfield, and unlike the no-see-em trailer, the film eventually shows it in all its gruesome glory (and no, it ain't Stay Puft). Opening Friday, J.J. Abrams' camcorder monster movie (which some describe as "Godzilla meets the Blair Witch") covers a terrible day for all of Manhattan and, in particular, for a group of New Yorkers throwing a bon voyage party for one of their friends. Ruh-roh!

We love lists. Which is why we're a little sad that we didn't know about Amazon.com's UnSpun until we read The Paper Noose's post on Georgetown's place in the Top "Hip" Neighborhoods to Live in Seattle, WA. There's nothing we love better than completely arbitrary lists with no discernible criteria beyond kneejerk personal opinion -- except maybe passing them along. According to UnSpun users, the top 10 "hip" neighborhoods are: 1. Capitol Hill (surprise,...

Last week, Seattlest Kim wrote a post about New York City that pissed off New Yorkers. The angry comments to said post were oddly familiar because we got similar comments on a post about Seaside, Oregon that Seattlest Tom wrote in May.

For those of you just tuning in, yesterday we wrote a little piece about the steam pipe that burst in New York. Apparently it pissed a bunch of people off, and we have to concur that actual true (non-sensationalist) details have been slow to trickle in over here. Everything we've read the last couple of days focuses on a "geyser of steam and debris," which seemed like an overblown fearmongering catchphrase at first, but is now starting to sound like that may be exactly what it is.

All across the Ist-A-Verse (or at least the American parts thereof), writers and editors are in the midst of enjoying their three-day weekend. But after the week we've all had, we feel like the break is not only needed, but deserved. Just look at everything we've been doing!

It seems like, all across the network, folks were up to no good. Maybe it was all the green beer from last weekend...

Sunday. Usually, a quiet, contemplative day in the Blogosphere. But not here in the Ist-a-Verse. Nonono! Just look below and see all of the wild and crazy stuff our staffs are up to.

About a year ago, some intrepid New Yorkers created a real-life version of Pac-Man with the grid of Manhattan serving as the maze. They called it Pac Manhattan. We at Seattlest propose a real-life version of the game, 'Where's Waldo?.' We call it 'Where's Eddie?' Recently, the remaining Godfather of Grunge, Eddie Vedder, has been seen throughout Seattle. Case it point, he showed up un expectantly last night at EZ Street Records performing next to former X singer John Doe. As he prepares for an impending Pearl Jam tour, we can only expect more of these Eddie sightings, so if you see Eddie, please let us know. We do not know if he is wearing a knit cap, striped sweater and glasses a la Waldo, but if he is, you might want to let him know that it's hot out, so he might want to change.

Who said TV shows weren't educational? Who? Cause last night's episode of Grey's Anatomy taught us viewers some very important lessons about east coast transplants (a bit slow on the uptake), bribing your boss (generally not a good idea) and to top it off, even came through on that promise for some anatomy (um, eww?).

Seattlest is continually amazed at how many transplanted New Yorkers live here in the Northwest. Their numbers are matched only by the number of Northwesterners who dream of someday moving to the Big Apple. To sate the desires of both groups, and to point out some of the benefits of living in Seattle, we are launching this new feature:

Lunching downtown can be a grim, wallet-emptying experience. Seattlest would like to save you from all that.
