is an uneven piece of theater: on the one hand, the technical side of the production is weak; on the other, the actors--with little to work with besides a strong script and each other--deliver powerful and moving performances which make the play definitely worth seeing.
Bad Monkey's Blue Surge @ the Chamber Theatre
Camera in the Newsroom
If P-I blogger Monica Guzman in fact knew this guy was coming before he walked up behind her in her cube at the Post Intelligencer with a video camera, then she's in the wrong line of work. Monica appears to be the new, more female version of Brian Chin at the P-I (i.e., post random shit), but if this is her acting like she's confronting a I'll-get-famous-video-blogging-or-else stalker then there's a place for her in Hollywood.
Local Nut Job Sez: TV's Conspiring to Show Less Slutty Cheerleaders
The strangest terrorist in the history of sports, television broadcasting, cheerleading, and terrorism is evidently operating out of Seattle. He or she alleges this conspiracy: that sports television producers are biased against sluttily-dressed cheerleaders.
Elsewhere In The Ist-a-verse
With the sun out, the temperatures high, one can only think of one thing-- what's going on in the World of the -ist's?
Elsewhere In The Ist-a-verse
Spring appears to have, er, sprung, at least temporarily, in most of the Ist-A-Verse, so naturally, we're all feeling pretty good. (Yes, we know that spring doesn't start till later this month.

Seattlest caught Bainbridge Island writer Mary Guterson at Wordstock in Portland in April, and she was so freakin' funny that we immediately bought her book, We Are All Fine Here, a dry, first-person story of Julia, a burned-out married woman who hooks up with her old boyfriend. And because Seattlest is an author-stalker, we couldn't just read the damn thing, we had to call up Guterson and chat.
DriveTime in the Northwest
Our good friends at Bostonist are big fans of DriveTime, a weekly vlog created and hosted by Ravi Jain during his commute to work. Most of the time, he picks up guests in his car and chats with them as he drives along, but for the past month, like everybody else, he's been focused on the World Cup.
Hu Stalker
You've heard of Gawker Stalker, right? When someone spots a celeb walking around Manhattan they notify the Gawker website of the identity and location of said star and a bunch of weirdos can track them on a map. Celebrities hate it and stalkers and people who think it's funny to piss of celebrities love it.
