Sometimes the world really is a beautiful place. Specifically when there's beer involved. Jack's meeting friends on Saturday for a session of oak-aged beer tasting at Brouwer's Big Wood Fest. He'll then spend the rest of the day rubbing his tum tum and smiling a lot. Thrilled about the possibility of the year's first snow fall, Kim will spend as much of the weekend as possible getting over the cold that's been lingering for a...

This fall we are combining our love of the football and our dream of learning to cook. On Sunday morning, following a trip to a local farmer’s market/major supermarket chain, we will be preparing a meal from the city of the Seahawks opponent. Then at halftime we will throw our badly burned hands in the air and make hot dogs.

On Monday night we went to the Giants game with a chance to see Barry Bonds break Hank Aaron's home run record. He didn't go yard, choosing to get number 756 the next night--what an ass. However, we did have a front row seat for Nook Logan's 193rd hit, so our grandkids will get to hear all about that.

, which melodramatized the all too real phenomenon of American and European drug companies finding it more expedient (if more ethically questionable) to do research on poorly educated and ill informed Third World subjects. Turns out, Hollywood could just as well have set their cameras on good old Seattle.

For the last few years Austin’s SXSW Music festival has brought Seattle their best European (mostly U.K.) bands; many of them making their first appearance here before heading back across the pond or whisking away to the many summer music festivals around the country. Seattle seems like a good enough launch pad though, and we’ve got a few beauties lined up. On Monday, May 5th two of the biggest bands coming out of the U.K. right now just happen to be playing sold out shows on the same night – The Kooks at Crocodile Café and The Arctic Monkeys at The Showbox. On a Monday night no less? Tell us where else in the country you’ll see that! Our advice? Save your money and go check out The Klaxons tonight at The Crocodile (there should still be some tickets available here); a great British band on their final tune-up for Coachella and a ton of other huge festivals this year. We can’t get their debut release Myths of the Near Future out of our head and neither can a lot of the British mags hyping them all year (they've already sold out most all their U.K. dates). Call it indie new rave or British dance punk. It’s experimental at times, British pop at others, but definitely worth us checking out their live show. Care to take a listen? Check out a few tracks from their Myspace page here.

On Monday, Ichiro launched this confusing monologue at an MLB.com reporter about how the Mariners can improve:

Democrats supporting the proposal fired back with partisan shots of their own. "I think that's a bunch of right-wing blog nonsense...I think what's important is the answers he gives when he appears before the council," said the council's ranking thinker Dow Constantine.

Daylight savings time either starts or ends on Sunday, which means that you either get or lose an hour! What are you going to do or not do with it? Here's our plans...

On Monday night, Seattlest arrived at the Showbox like we often do, a half hour early so we could sit in the Green Room, have a beer or two, and watch the under-agers patiently waiting in line outside. Our well planned arrival turned out to be somewhat premature however, as we held court with very few other grown-up types in the cozy little bar hugging the south side of the Showbox. Meanwhile, a growing line of minors in faux-punk fatigues wrapped itself around the building like a python to a rat.

Our hearts were already heavy after the Super Bowl, but yesterday’s news was almost too much to bear.

ID=1984: Continuing on yesterday's Database Of Oppression theme, Mayor Nichols is pushing a city database to hold information on troublesome night spots.

It’s not the best time to be a Seattle sports fan right now. Sure the Sonics were able to re-sign Vladimir Radmanovic for the upcoming season. However, we are a bit worried that he turned down six years $42 million in order to be an un-restricted free agent at the end of next season, but right now we will take what we can get.

We’ve been won over. What once made us grumpy now makes us happy. On Monday night, we were thoroughly taken in by the second installment in Wagner’s Ring Cycle: Die Walküre.

Area dam managers are releasing water to flush young salmon out to sea, despite the governor's opposing plan of airlifting the fry downstream. A court of appeals yesterday ordered the government to continue spilling water from dams and reservoirs on the Snake and Columbia rivers.

Seattlest hereby attempts to salvage Downer Friday with news that the Camp Fire Kids kick off their annual candy sale today.
