Jack is getting all kinds of antsy for The Thermals' record release show, Saturday night at Neumos.

Sunday is Easter, so he's invited some family-types over for a dinner of apple cider-braised pork loin.

Though he's read comics off and on since John Byrne wrote Fantastic Four, James is attending his first-ever comic convention on Saturday. (Nerd!)

Kim might go to some shows at the Triple Door this weekend: Robyn Hitchcock on Saturday and Eleni Mandell on Sunday. Or she might go see Lushy on Saturday at the Skylark.

Tonight, however, she'll be playing her own music for free at Trabant in the U-District, and yall should come.

Kim is shooting from the hip this weekend (papow!). The only solid plan is her friend's weekly L Word watching party on Sunday. Between now and then, she'll probably go see Shenandoah Davis at 2020 Cycle with Your Heart Breaks and KHV. Maybe there'll be a delicious meal culled from our local farmers markets. Maybe she'll hop on a train and go to Portland. Anything could happen, people. Anything.

It's been a long time since Kim had a tourist to show around, so she's looking forward to giving her father a stellar tour of Seattle and its environs. On the agenda: Chateau Ste.

Abbey will be heading to her folks' house for a full-on family Thanksgiving feast. For the first time ever, she'll be helping in the kitchen, attempting to make some of her Mom's delicious recipes.

After the family feast, she'll head over to the Blue Moon for its Thanksgiving festivities, where she hopes to enjoy some whiskey with friends. On Friday, she'll luxuriate on the precipice of a long weekend.

She may still have far too much work to do this weekend, but Kim will emerge from her cocoon for two very important shows.

Katelyn's hitting up Wizdom's birthday show to catch Large Professor (aww yeah!) on Friday night. For Saturday, her calendar reads: Graffiti Rock, Sportn' Life Edition. MUST GO."

Stalk of the Town returns! This weekend officially welcomes us to the rainy season. So how will Seattlest be reaffirming life and nourishing our collective creative urge?

This weekend's highlight for Geoff will be a Brewer's Dinner at The Collins Pub held by Hair of the Dog Brewery from Portland. 6 courses paired with 6 beers, plus a few special releases to boot. As a Bears and now semi-Seahawks fan, he'll be hoping that Brett Favre breaks a hip during Saturday's Seahawks game at Lambeau Field.
