Road trip! The seventh annual What the Heck Fest is taking place all weekend at venues in Anacortes. Mt. Eerie is but one of the many bands set to perform.

Last night, Young Frankenstein, playing at the Paramount through September 1st, came to life, sang, and did some wicked dance moves. The official world premiere of the new Mel Brooks musical, based on his horror-comedy film of the same name, had the full house's rapt attention from the initial flash of lightning over Transylvania Heights. The script preserves many of the film’s great lines ("Put...the candle...back!"), while adding nearly two dozen original songs with music and lyrics by old nectarine-pushing Mel. While this run serves as a chance for the company to work the kinks out before heading off to Broadway this fall, as of last night, the kinks are primarily sex-related.

The good news is that you can sign up for an official Seattlest commenter profile now. It'll have a little bit of information about you and the comments you've made in the past and even some comments that have been posted in reply to your comments. Neat stuff, particularly the part that displays comments on your comments. That stuff is difficult to keep track of on your own. The bad news is that you can still post as an anonymous-type, but you'll appear only as "guest" and you won't be able to make up cute little names for yourself that relate to the topic at hand. Lame, we know. At least you won't be forced to type in a nospam@whatever.com email address every time you comment. You will be asked for a valid email address if you sign up for a profile account, and a fake nospam@ address isn't going to work because you need to confirm your account via email. You won't be able to change that email address once your account is verified, either. WE WON'T SPAM YOU. Promise. In the near future this will be a link to our privacy policy.
