We have it on good authority -- namely, the UnSpun list of Best Pub Quizzes in Seattle, which we created last week and which has been voted on by a whopping 4 people -- that the quiz at the Old Pequliar is the 9th best trivia quiz in Seattle.

What can we say about Seattlest Trivia that we haven't said before?

Above is a clip of local band-made-good Schoolyard Heroes, from their video shoot for new single "Plastic Surgery Hall of Fame," the final product of which can be seen here. The song's off their new album Abominations, out this Tuesday.

DEMOCRACY: There's a Seattle school levy election today. If you don't know where you are supposed to vote, but know your name and the day you were born, you can look it up online. If you can't get to that place, you can cast a provisional ballot anywhere--just march up to the nice poll-worker ladies at your local school or church and say "I'd like to cast a provisional ballot, please." We did it last election and it worked like a dream.

BASKETBALL: It's a battle for first place in Kingco's Mountain Division when Roosevelt hosts Redmond.

>>>UW Forum for Science and Ethics Policy, 5:30pm. Dr. Dennis Schatz, VP for Education at the Pacific Science Center, cheerleads for “Making Science as Pervasive as Sports in Society.” His ulterior motive? It can only be to pack the Sonics off to Oklahoma and build our very own Exploratorium right here in Seattle, to which we say “Be Aggressive, Be Be Aggressive!” Free. UW Health Sciences Building, T-478.

It's Tuesday. You know what that means: Seattlest is hosting trivia tonight at the Old Pequliar in Ballard. (That's 1722 NW Market St.)

No longer content to merely talk about pub trivia, Seattlest has decided to host a quiz of our own. Tonight is our official debut.

Last night, at the end of 8 rounds of questions, Seattlest's team (Anna Nicole Smurf) won the quiz at the Old Pequliar along with Red Square, our frequent rivals. We pulled this off despite scoring 0 out of 10 on the sports round. Sports are our kryptonite.

You don't have to wait for the weekend to stalk Seattlest. As we mentioned before, we moved our regular weekly pub trivia night to Ballard's Old Pequliar.

A couple of months ago, Seattlest ditched the George & Dragon's Tuesday night trivia quiz. We found it slow and overcrowded -- same old same old, we suppose, but we were burned out.

If you need a little more impetus to haul over to Ballard, then we suggest checking out one of Velouria's rockin' fashion shows. There have been four already held at neighbor Sonic Boom, and a fifth is planned for May at the Crocodile.

Local hater Pete Bagge drew a little comic strip last year for the anarcho-fascist propoganda outlet Reason Magazine that heaped scorn and ridcule on the innocent men, women and children of the art world. Now, one year later, Bagge's karma comes back to bite him in the ass with an art world style exhibition of that very same comic. Will the hypocrisy blow Bagge's mind? Will it be as bad as that one scene in the Star Wars movie where Luke Skywalker cuts off Darth Vader's head only to see behind the mask... his own face!?
