EARTH DAY: The UW's Green Coalition invites you out to the campus today for some live music, a gallery of environmental art, a zero-emissions electric car show, a social on the Lake Washington waterfront, and a presentation about sustainable business practices from Jerry Heinlen of Yakima Products to be followed by the movie The Eleventh Hour. Don't worry--there's more earthy doings on tap if you can't make that. more ›

Even though he grew up in Seattle and has recently joined the UW jazz studies faculty, and even though he had an intriguing-looking gig at SAM during last fall's Earshot Jazz Festival, we still haven't managed to catch a performance by trumpeter Cuong Vu.

THEATER: You have only five more chances to catch WET’s latest offering, In Disdress Now: Redux. Marya Sea Kaminski’s one-woman show was originally developed as as part of On the Boards' Northwest New Works Festival in June 2006.

Tucked away through an easy to miss doorway, the skyspace appears, from just outside, to be a goofy, oddly painted kind of storage room. "Is this it?" we said to the bored UW student posing as a security guard, but she was too busy staring at the floor to respond. Inside, the exceptionally bright and clean walls and hand carved wood benches are precisely shaped to mess with the viewers sense of space: the room feels small and large at the same time, drawing you in to figure out why (We stopped to review what substances might have been in that post-lunch brownie, but confirmed the sensations were created entirely by the space itself). more ›

Seattlest first heard about the predilection David Lynch has for meditation shortly after 9/11, when he suggested that winning a war against suicidal religious fundamentalists would require us to think happy thoughts and do some breathing excercises. This didnt exactly inspire the requisite confidence to secure a nomination for Secretary of Defense from the neo-cons, but then again, that's not really saying anything. more ›
