STELLA! YOU MAKE US YELL-A!: It's a good week when we get to use the phrase "comedic stylings," and the stylings of Stella--that's Michael Ian Black, Michael Showalter, and David Wain--fall squarely in the comedic category. We're not really "comedy" people, but even we have seen Michael Ian Black live and laughed like there was no tomorrow--when in fact there was, and that became a whole thing we won't get into. The group has been called "bizarre, nonsensical, and very funny" and "dumb comedy in a suit," if that gives you some idea.

Is your vita not so dolce? Go to Stella on First Avenue across from SAM, order a doppio, and drink it at the bar just like those I-talians do. It's cheaper than taking a seat at one of the marble-topped tables, and makes you feel all cool and Euro. Owner/barista Rob Wilson wants to encourage customers to sip and chat, rather than sulk behind laptops. Don't worry--we'll still be here when you log on again. Ciao.

Last week, Seattlest was embarrassed when the one local chap to make it onto the Greatest Reality Show That Ever Was (Blayne) turned out to be the camera-hoggy, catch phrase-happy, can-tanned queeny diaper-dress designer. So, we were thrilled pleased to see he somehow toned it down for week two. There was only one obnoxioulicious catch phrase moment, and even his fake-n-bake tan looked a little less, well, fake-n-bakey.
