The Bad Juju's move to Neumos never really felt quite right. The space was just too different, too wonky, and the place never really got a chance to be it's own thing, acting instead as a stopoff point between bands.

Tonight the space formerly known as the Bad Juju Lounge finally reopens as Moe Bar, and it looks like a keeper. more ›

25 days, over 160,000 attendees, 198 narrative films, 60 documentaries, 15 archival films, 4 mystery screenings, and 141 shorts later, the 2006 Seattle International Film Festival is finally over. Seattlest, for one, is relieved. Don't get us wrong: we love the festival life. But after nearly a month of showing up early to films, saving seats for friends, and contending with irascible movie-goers, we are ready for a break from the cinema. See you next year, SIFF! more ›

Seattlest’s favorite Capitol Hill bar the Bad JuJu Lounge will soon leave its current location on 11th Ave and fold in to its sister venue Neumo’s as Marcus Charles, owner of both establishments, makes the probably prudent move of consolidating his no-doubt expensive empire (props to trusty bar keep Jeff for filling us in on the details). The Bad JuJu’s scary, Klingon-weapon-looking metal sculptures, once perilously placed above the heads of patrons, are already, as of last Friday, gone from their pillars, and Seattlest’s team of investigative reporters has so far failed to confirm the fate of the resident boa constrictor permanently on display in the aquarium behind the bar. more ›

Seattlest is always up for a night of weird insanity and the Third Annual Carnival Reverie at Neumo’s on Sunday, August 7, promises to be just that. The show starts at 7pm and brings forth a twisted eight-hour-long parade of jugglers, clowns, burlesque, sword swallowing, fire breathing, and music. more ›
