Any vegetarian or vegan will tell you: there's no better feeling than being able to choose from any item on the menu.
Shop Seattle: The Chocolate Shoebox
Dress Code: The Good, Bad and Ugly
Welcome to the Dress Code, where we celebrate, critique, commend and (on occasion) condemn fashion trends, shows, designers, boutiques, events and everything in between. From the couturiers and costumers to the retail clothiers and quirky DIY crafters, fashion--good and bad--is everywhere. The Dress Code is where we wear our hearts on our sleeves and write about it all.
Shoe Meet Face
A defendant removed his jail-issued shoe and threw it at him, striking him in the face. Defendant Abdi Ali Abukar was in court for a hearing on 2008 charges of robbery and burglary. Shoe-throwing is very insulting in Islamic cultures, but then it's pretty insulting in the west, too.

You ran two stops signs later, but we digress.)
Evidence That Sneakers on Power Lines Mean Drugs Around
At least, we think this picture counts as evidence.
Sneakers on the Power Lines, Sandwich in Our Pants
It was only four days ago that a friend of ours mentioned that shoes hanging from a power line meant it was a "safe" area for dealing drugs, or that it had to do with gang territory. He couldn't remember exactly. We thought that was stupid. We've always thought it was simply the work of some shithead bully.
We Interview: Macklemore!
Macklemore, recently back from touring Europe, sat down with us at Vivace last Saturday to discuss his art, his ego, and his shoes (among other topics). Get the low-down here, and don’t miss the man’s show at the Vera Project tonight with Illmaculate and Ricky Pharoe!
