For most of us Seattlites Bumbershoot is one more indication of summer being in full swing and fall looming just around the corner. To some it may also be another annoying festival taking over downtown during the scant amount of beautiful days we have in this city. Then there are those who excitedly look forward to the musical event of the season, buy their tickets early and start acting weirdly giddy in the few days leading up to Labor Day weekend. Most likely you fit on the fringes of several of these categories, as do we. more ›

With our warm-again, not-again weather this summer it is hard to imagine that it is time to start thinking about The Fair. The Puyallup is offering online deals including the all-you-can-ride Dizzy Pass, but most parents would have to take off work to take advantage of that. There is an opening weekend special which includes admission and seven rides for $20 (you have to click on "Continue" and then "Ticket Packages" to find it), but as every parent knows, seven rides is just a good start. A standard sheet of 20 tickets is $15, with each ride taking a few tickets. more ›

Over the weekend and again this morning, a bug has been affecting Link light rail's ticketing system, telling aggrieved would-be riders no soup for you "transaction canceled." Bummer. more ›

Each of these shows is monumental in its own right, but the fact that they're both going on sale on the same day--this Saturday--must indicate something apocalyptic is afoot, straight out of 2012, or at least Know1ng. First: Kenny G on Tuesday, November 17 at the Paramount Theatre, with tickets running $35-65. Now as that's sinking in, consider this: New Kids on the Block at White River Amphitheatre on Tuesday, July 7. Tickets are $19.50-79.50, with specially-priced $10 lawn tickets available on Saturday only. Somebody call Roland Emmerich and greenlight this disaster. more ›

We said Pacific Northwest Ballet's Broadway Festival was an enormous amount of fun, and it sounds like plenty of you figured that out for yourselves.

It is also the highest grossing mixed repertory program in our company's history, surpassing the old record set by Valentine in 2006."
