Naturally, it's not without controversy. Apparently, if you do the monologue titled "The Little Coochie Snorcher That Could" these days, you have to leave out the line "If it was rape, it was good rape," from a woman recalling her teenage experience with an older woman. Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor. For ourselves, we found "Because He Liked to Look At It" particularly relatable. This year's production features a scene called "Crooked Braid" that they haven't done before. more ›

In some ways, we wish we could experience Sundance every week, but on the other hand, we're pretty f-ing exhausted. So it's a good thing that this is our last day here. We've had a great time with both the movies and the festival-goers. We've had film discussions with strangers everywhere we went, we've argued with film critics, and we've interacted with some really remarkable people, including two Lauras from Portland, a Bermudan film festival programmer, and a wonderfully chatty fag from NYC. Normally, we hate people. We tend to avoid meeting new people (most of them suck), and we definitely aren't prone to striking up discussions with strangers. But at Sundance it's different. Film really can bring us all together. more ›

Monday, after posting our pro-lap dance response to Susan Paynter's PI column, we received an email from an anonymous local stripper:

I just read your defense of your right to make women touch you sexually for pay and was wondering: more ›

Tuesday night's Scissor Sisters show was an absolutely incredible sight to behold. The Showbox didn't feel like part of Seattle at all, transformed into den of debauchery, glamorous but with slightly sleazy undertone. The sort of place to feature both marble floors and gloryholes. It was the holistic experience that most shows strive to be, with a charismatic headliner, amazing sound, and a crowd as flamboyant and energetic as the performers on stage. more ›

Before we get into the review, let's draw your attention to the Kristin Hersh show this Tuesday, and Patricia Barber next Tuesday and Wednesday. TIME says Patricia Barber is what you get when you "cross Diana Krall with Susan Sontag." Who can pass that up?

Holy schnikes, people. Is this a show or is this a show? Wait, we'll answer that for ya—yes on both counts. Of course, as with any highly-anticipated season finale, we did get a shocking plot twist: Turns out, Izzie's last name isn't Stevens at all. It's Kevorkian. Girl has gone bat-caca crazy, we are telling you. But boy-oh-boy are we enjoying the ride. And as much as we drool over, er, appreciate the artistic merits of the performance of (note to self: nice save!) Javier Bardem-lite, we're sorta rooting for his demise if only to see some more mega-dramatic moments. Though Izzie's please-please-please-don't-leave-me let-me-do-this-I'm-an-excellent-driver-dad-lets-me-drive slow-on-the-driveway-please-please-please-let-me-kill-you meltdown will be arguably tough to top. more ›

Seattle's blogs are savoring the pulse-pounding, cold-sweat anticipation of this weekend's midnight showings of Jaws at the Egyptian. more ›

Under the Table: The Seattle Times is calling out the SPD and a few local businesses for routing around 911. The Edgewater was one of Seattlest's favorite hotels even before it was mentioned in relation to this story. more ›

Seattle was only able to pull down a "World's Most Lesbian-Friendly City" award in a recent "World's Sexiest Cities" poll, but there's been no dry spell of sex-related news in our papers lately. Today, someone at the UW is getting recognition for some of the weirdest sex since, well, last week. more ›

It was cramped in there, and I was surrounded by commanding walls, both black and lush red. Despite its petite size, it wasn’t hot, even though 80 people must have been stuffed into the place. With the exception of two men, one of whom was the director, everyone else was a woman. more ›
