The Seattle Symphony is getting their spooky on tonight (and Friday and Saturday nights too), when they’ll play the score from Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho live while the film plays on the big screen. Apparently there’s a way to remove the music but keep the dialogue in a film (who knew?), which is exactly what they’ve done….

Belltown got a new restaurant ten days ago, with creative food and huge views of Elliott Bay and Belltown’s passing parade. It’s headed by former Qube chef Joseph Conrad (he also cooked at Charlie Trotter’s in Chicago and is the executive chef at Twist) and the bar is manned by Armin Moloudzadeh who made a name…

The 1st Annual Gregory Awards, presented by Theatre Puget Sound, took place last night in the packed and festive Intiman Theater lobby. This long overdue celebration of local theater started out modestly, with only six awards, plus a “Sustained Achievement Award” for theater photographer Chris Bennion. But the short list of awardees belied the gigantic…

Critics always struggle to describe what Reggie Watts does—at least when he’s not doing straight up music (as with local band Maktub, or the recent, lovely short songs he created for the new Electric Company which you can watch here). His comedy isn’t strictly improv (though he does a ton of improvising throughout) and it’s…

Launched by Mayor Greg Nickels late in 2008, the Seattle City of Music initiative is a now-through-2020 plan whose goal is to “create action over the next 12 years that enhances the climate for our music industry, and to propel Seattle’s leadership role in music throughout the nation and the world.” While I’m not sure…

Talk about the power of social media. For those who made it, Saturday’s Mobile Chowdown (1616 W. Bertona), a parking lot off Dravus behind the Denali fitness center, was truly a sight to see. There must have been 500 people there at any given time over the course of the four hour event. Lines for…

TGIF, folks! I’m back with a mishmash of a recap. Week 3 is over with today—which happens to be my birthday, look at me and my dedication—so we’ll focus on week 2. The highlight was definitely when MacKenzie and I had a private yoga session and I came to realize that my talents (which are…

The new City Arts/Sound hybrid is out—definitely bigger than before and augmented with more music coverage—and guess what else? Their Blog Digest section includes a shout-out to one of my earlier posts, in which my grand ambitions were shot down by a tech glitch. The good news: they felt I “kept it together” during the freakout….

When you’re a student low on cash (and who isn’t), finding entertainment beyond the beer bash in the dorm (or frat) can be challenging. In my student days, I found that a great way to get beyond the party culture was to visit the UW theater culture as it played out in the University’s theaters….

Falling leaves, pashminas and pumpkins, oh my! Where did September go? All of the sudden people are layering and drinking Pumpkin lattes and I haven’t even committed to a pair of fall boots.This week’s photo is meant to remind you of the holiday season that’s just around the corner and the countless decisions that must…
