For some reason, we had to go all the way to the NY Daily News to find out what happened to everyone in the cast of Singles, the 1992 Seattle film landmark by Cameron Crowe. We pity the intern who tracked down 38 of the characters/bands that appeared.
Where Have All the Singles Gone?
Better Pick-Up Spot? Rite Aid vs. Del Rey
Belltown has a respectable ratio of good-looking people to not-so-much. That doesn't mean they are good people, just well maintained. As it's the city's preeminent non-Pioneer Square meat market, we thought we'd examine two of the more prominent neighborhood institutions to determine which locale is best suited for all-purpose hook-ups.
It's Just That Hard to Get a Date in Seattle
More or less daily we walk from our place up on Capitol Hill down Bellevue to Pine, where we walk across I-5 to get downtown. And for the past couple weeks, we've noticed an odd handmade sign at the equally odd intersection-in-the-sky at Pine & Boren that simply reads "ineedagirlfriend206.com." It was curious, we thought, and so today while idly browsing the interweb at lunch, we decided to hop online and see exactly what the deal is.
Can't Miss It: Snowmageddon Eve
FUNNY JEWS: "The voice of the Jewish hipster movement," Good for the Jews is Rob Tannenbaum (srsly?) and David Fagin (srsly?) and they're on tour with their musical extravaganza, "Putting the Ha! in Hannukah." They're edgy--no songs about dreidels--just like Jon Stewart, who is also Jewish. Last year they sold out their Xmas Eve show at the Triple Door. They would love it if you would come down and help them accomplish that feat again. It'd be a mitzvah.
7 Astounding Yet True Facts About Say Anything...
Last weekend, Seattlest revisited the other Shorewood High School for our 20-year reunion. And it's been 20 years since Lloyd Dobler and Diane Court left Lakeside High, so on our flight to Milwaukee, we got reacquainted with Cameron Crowe's Say Anything.... Singles gets the Seattle-centric attention, but Say Anything... is the movie where Seattle first caught our eye, several years before we actually moved to the land of the Gas 'n' Sip.
