The glorious fall sunsets have disappeared along with the mouldering husks of Halloween pumpkins, and according the weather report, we can all expect a long, cold, wet weekend. But this being the Northwest, that's never stopped us from getting out and about; here's the weekend plans of your intrepid Seattlest contributors: By the time this hits the digital newsstands, Jeremy is going to be on his way to Fadó for post-work cocktails; after that......

This Friday and Saturday, for the eleventh year running, the Pyramid Alehouse will host the "Get Snowed In Party" in celebration of Pyramid's flagship winter ale, Snow Cap. Snow Cap turns 21 this year, and in honor of this ale finally coming of age, ticket prices for each night of the event are only $21. Hosted in a frosty cold revival tent behind Pyramid Alehouse, last year the two-night party was fantastic: beer gardens, hot......

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. Note: This weekend we are injured reserve, so trading in the visor and clipboard for......

Who says our lower back is killing us. We arose at 5:30 Friday morning and made the pilgrimage to Baker. All three of us in the car were a wreck, having experienced mutual cases of anticipatory insomnia fueled by talk the night before of a 100" base at Mt. Baker. The day can be summed up thusly: wow, and, ow. Brutally out of shape, we took it fairly easy on our first day up. The......

It's hard to recall, frankly, because Snow Cap is pretty hefty stuff and we had more than our fair share, but if that's not a sign that the second night of Pyramid Brewing's Get Snowed In party was a good time, we don't know what is. The Saturday show, featuring Matt Costa and The Evergreen Effect was the sort of rollicking good time you would expect from the feel-good hippies, tree-huggers, and snowboarders (stocking......

Tuesday 7th >>> Foreigner at The Paramount. Be warned: whether you're cold as ice or hot-blooded, this is the kind of rock that leads to double-vision. *video: Urgent 8:00pm; $40-$150. The $150 includes a pre-show wine tasting and meet & greet. >>> Bonnie Prince Billy at The Tractor. Will Oldham has been keeping us at arm's length with the "Bonnie Prince Billy" moniker for years. We can pretend it isn't true, but it is.......

When this week began, wrestler Eddie Guerrero and TV pioneer Ralph Edwards were both alive. No one outside Steel Country had heard of Rep. John Murtha, and Bob Woodward still had credibility. Next week is really only three days, so probably nothing will happen. Thus, we at Seattlest intend to enjoy ourselves over the weekend. Seth's going to the Ballard JazzWalk tonight. Two performers he's looking forward to seeing: Dawn Clement, an inventive young pianist,......

Winter sports enthusiasts of Seattle, there's life beyond Warren Miller ski movies. We are so tired of how tired they are. Despite recent attempts on old Uncle Miller's part to incorporate "new" styles and footage into his films (news alert Warren: snowboarding has been around for multiple decades now), his annual fall films only amount to aggregious Nissan commercials interspersed with that same old story about how he started out in Sun Valley. If we......

Just last week we were walking through the beer aisle at our local QFC, cruising for those cute little Full Sail "Session" bottles when our heart skipped a beat. Could it be? Oh sweet Bacchus, that's a six-pack of Snow Cap! We cradled it in our arms and cried silent sweet tears of joy while the woman next to us with the two kids dragged her wee ones by their arms past us, staring. Someday......

Like most northwestern snow lovers this winter, Seattlest spent the season glancing longingly at our skis and snowboards hanging in the garage, sighing as we turned off the light and closed the door on the worst season in at least 25 years. Our Big S Pass did time as a coaster while we drowned our sorrows in Snow Cap ale. But there’s hope at the end of the dry Snoqualmie snow tunnel. The mighty Summit......
