Dear readers, I'm breaking from the official Seattlest "we" to let you know that this is my last day with your favorite local news, events and opinion blog. I've been writing a lot about Northwest hiphop for Sound Magazine, a publication you should definitely be reading if you're interested in the Seattle/Portland/Vancouver music scene and are looking for quality long-form feature stories; I'll be working more closely with the editorial staff at Sound now, which requires me to bid adieu to the local news editorship at Seattlest. I'm also a licensed massage practitioner, and have begun to build my own Capitol Hill practice. (Joy!)

It's tonight at the Can Can, with tickets $5 GA and $10 VIP seating (with a better view).

In this month's Sound Magazine, Robin Pecknold and Co. didn't get Artist of the Year (that went to Jake One, thankyouverymuch), but the Fleet Foxes did win Year of the Year [RealRead Viewer], um, we guess for having an awesome year.
