Are you guys watching this race? Incredible! Super Tuesday has officially come and gone, delegates divided, $250 million in campaign money spent, and still no Democratic frontrunner in sight. We at Seattlest are beside ourselves and while we may never understand the logic behind superdelegates we do know this: Washington is going to have a big say in how this race is decided. This Saturday, Washingtonians will caucus with 80 Democratic delegates up for......

This Saturday, New York indie-experimental band Blonde Redhead plays the Showbox in a sure-to-wow evening with alt-pop opening act Annuals. We're psyched for both acts, but we've been drooling over Blonde Redhead for quite some time now. They opened for Interpol back in November '05 but we arrived late and missed them completely. Woe was us. We'll be sure to get there early this Saturday. The delicious details: Two winners. First place winner gets two......

This Saturday offers at least three ways to make a difference in Seattle, or at least look like you care whilst furthering your own selfish interests. Start things off at the Egyptian Theater for the SIFF volunteer meeting from 10am to noon. This is your best opportunity to learn about all the different jobs that you can do to pitch in for the festival. It's also a good way to get a few good......

This Saturday, Seattle's own The Long Winters will spread indie rock all over the spacious interior of our favorite venue, The Showbox. Reasons to attend this show: -- John Roderick's arrogance is matched only by his mastery of pop/rock hooks. -- Fabulous LA band The Broken West opens. Also in the house will be DorsiaFilms, shooting and recording the show on spiffy high-def equipment -- presumably to supplement the already fantastic material being edited for......

If Seattlest had any female friends, we'd totally make them go with us to Salon Dewi tomorrow night: Salon Dewi invites you to the launch party for Girlactik Beauty and Mary Green Lingerie. Pre-funk [yeeesssss!] with us Saturday, and let Dewi update your look or just make you look like a fabulous DIVA for the night. We have invited Erin Orden, Seattle's own make-up superstar. She will be rocking the house and creating that......

You be the judge. This Saturday, two wheel-obsessed events face off at Magnuson Park. In one corner we have the Northwest Film Forum's Bike-In, an outdoor event with music, bike-related demonstrations, beer garden, raffle, and screenings of bike-themed films on a large outdoor screen. The event is co-sponsored by the Cascade Bicycle Club. In the other corner, we have the ball-bearing-busting Rat City Rollergirls. Bout 5 of Season 2 features, well, do we really have......

Ahh…you know it’s summer when bicyclists in the buff make their return to Seattle. We have grown accustom to marking the summer solstice with the annual Fremont Fair and the running of the nude bicyclists. But why wait until next weekend? This Saturday, June 11, nudes will be descending on Gas Works Park at 9 am for the second World Naked Bike Ride. The two-wheeled streakers will wend their way to the Seattle Center beginning......

It was just a single line in the weekly newsletter from the Northwest Film Forum, but it set Seattlest's heart a-flutter: PS – Also on Saturday, June 11, at 5:30pm, San Francisco's nationally-renowned (and surprisingly raunchy) double-dutch jumproping team Double Dutchess will make their Seattle debut in our space. We had to know more. In doing a little research on the internets, we discovered that this entity is, in fact, a troupe of four San......

Buy a book & give a warm welcome to the latest incarnation of Dave Eggers’s non-profit writing/tutoring organization, 826 Seattle. Dave Eggers, noted author of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius and founder of the revered indie publishing house McSweeney’s, poured money from his early literary success into the writing/tutoring center 826 Valencia in San Francisco. The landlord insisted they sell something on the property, so they opened a Pirate Supply store as the front......
