This video of the '62 World's Fair has actually been on YouTube for awhile, but it managed to escape our notice until SciFi.com posted it (thanks for the heads-up, Seattle LJ). Favorite scene: about two minutes in when they steal a rickshaw. There's also lots of cool phone technology which makes a lot of sense since this is a Ma Bell production. more ›

We got an email last week pointing us to a West Seattle blog post and a thread on Seattle LJ about Pagliacci and their delivery areas. The speculation was that since the pizza place wouldn't deliver to some shady neighborhoods that seemed more physically proximate to its store than other, more upscale, neighborhoods that it would deliver to, there must be a great Pagliacci conspiracy going on in West Seattle. The email suggested that it might make for a decent Seattlest post and on the surface it was interesting but we didn't really have the time to go dig into the comments of the posts it cited and it seemed like an email that we weren't the sole recipient of by a long shot. What seemed like too much work for not enough scandal to Seattlest was P-I gold, however. Apparently the anonymous email also went out to Robert Jamieson Jr. of the Post Intelligencer and today he commented. more ›

The Rev Sims vs Rev Hutcherson title fight went down last night and although we couldn't attend there's enough written material about it to keep us reading through the weekend and into next week. It would be cool if the Stranger guys could throw up a video or at least a transcript of it somewhere... Anyway, it sounds like Hutcherson brought a posse with him by bus so the crowd wasn't as one-sided as the venue, the organizers and the subject of debate would suggest. We're happy to hear there were no physical assualts. more ›
