Regionally popular Blue Scholars close out day 3 of The Program: five nights of hip hop at Neumos.
At the all-ages shows, adult beverages are available only from the upstairs bar and it stays upstairs. Merch is located in the dance floor bar on the far wall.
When we say north, you say west! North! West! North! West!(repeat)

Give the Holiday-O-Matic a spin to create a fresh and random greeting for each holiday card (email) you write.
My favorite pull so far: May your winter solstice be wonderful and filled with lords-a-leaping. Check!

Dan Deacon and Liam Lynch's Drinking Out of Cups animated short is a freaky, random, catch-phrase-laden wild ride with a pissed-off lizard. And funny as heck. Yeah right.
Yep, I know this has been out a while, but what can I say? I'm late. No way.
Just so you know: if you are swear-word sensitive, best avoid.
The Comet already has a buyer.
“It’s going to stay the Comet, the booking person is going to stay there, everything stays the same,” claims the deal broker. Details to be released once the t's are crossed and the i's dotted.
There's gotta be a reliable buyer for the deal to be announced so quickly. Any guesses?

Holiday madness. Friends (and future friends): ping me if ya wanna meet up. Good excuse to break away from visiting relatives. Real stalkers: go lay under the Westlake Center holiday tree.
Wednesday Dec 19: Rumor is the Project Runway community viewing experience is delicously catty at Faire Gallery Cafe.
Thursday Dec 20: choices, choices. (a) Caroling with long-time friends in Kirkland, or (b) SUX meetup at Triangle Lounge. Either one will be followed by the Three Imaginary Girls' Holiday Party at El Corazon (relocated from the Croc) with Tullycraft performing.
Friday, Dec 21: Winter Solstice party. Held in a 'burb block well-known in the 70's for key parties.
For a public event I recommend you check out Dyme Def at Neumos. They're performing as part of The Program: four nights of hip-hop with Blue Scholars. The Program shows are selling out in advance, so get your tix ahead of time if you plan to go.
Saturday Dec 22, afternoon: lunch with girls for a birthday at Saint Germain (soon to close).
Saturday Dec 22, night: XXXMas party at Lo-Fi. Organized by Seattle dj collective BootyResin.
Wednesday Dec 26: Crazy-merry at the ranch with 27+ relatives.
It doesn't make much sense. They don't look like puppies (of the dog OR seal variety) Yet...they are cute.
Proof: check out this fresh trailer from Pixar. It's a preview of their current animation project, Wall-E, whick is planned for release mid-2008.
So maybe I'm a robot-girl. Bleepy-chirps back at ya.

The Jan/Feb 08 issue of GOOD magazine includes an informative illustration of what it costs to keep your electronic gadgetry plugged in 24x7 for a year. Reduce your power consumption: unplug the vampires when not in use.
That new plasma TV you’re getting for Christmas? Plan for an electric bill increase of $160/year.
I like the vampire theme. It is memorable and makes the data so much more interesting that a bar chart. Click the pic for a close up view.

Since moving to the Capitol Hill neighborhood I've entertained the idea of owning a scooter. Nevermind that I probably wouldn't use it 6 -8 mos of the year (that Seattle rain thing). I just think they are uber-cool. Even before hitting the opening of Roq La Rue's Motorino show by Shag.
He is smitten, too.
I chatted with the artist for a minute and let him know my favorite of the show was "Bantam." Look for that piece if you go and see why I laughed out loud. Literally. (Not just "LOL" which is more often than not just a polite acknowledgement of someone's attempt at humor.)
A few late changes. Much goings on this time of year. Hope to see ya.
New Friday, December 14th early: BLVD Gallery Good vs. Evil Show opening night (various artists) with Foscil doing tunes, PLUS next door Roq La Rue gallery Motorino opening night (Shag) with Mercury 4 and DJ Vodka Twist doing tunes.
Friday 12/14: Broken Disco at Chop Suey
New Saturday 12/15: I Heart Rummage at Crocodile Cafe. (this is the last show at the Croc.)
Saturday 12/15: ufff, several possibilities here: The Glitch Mob pair at Neumos or private room karaoke with gang of friends (you can bring your own booze with a banquet license) or Shonen Knife at Chop Suey (no longer under consideration), end with Spy’s Resident Evil party
Sunday 12/16: Bringing a Seattle welcome to L.A. friends, here to float for a month
New Monday 12/17: Capitol Hill Seattle blog Book and Beer Exchange at Smith
Who knew? According to this post "Blindness" and comments, apparently there are color-blind designers running around out there. Employed as designers. Really. I had my suspicions, now confirmed. For real.
Maybe one could make it onto the next season of Project Runway. Wait. Maybe one already has.
Here's an example of how the red/green colorblind see the world:
