Ludlow Market: Road trip!

Seize Your 15 Minutes of Fame, Taste Fall Beers and Other Weekend Musts
MUST WARHOLGob Squad’s Kitchen (You’ve Never Had It So Good)Opens Thursday (9/27-9/30) —Very funny German-British theater collective Gob Squad reprises Andy Warhol’s Factory in its heyday. Warhol would have approved of the many layers of artifice here, as actors play themselves in a live film being both projected and staged all at once. Audience participation…
Feast Portland’s Secret to Success: Outstanding, Collaborative Chef Dinners
At any food festival, there’s the big, daytime tasting event. Usually wineries and restaurants, serving up little sips and bites, very similar to our own Taste Washington. At Feast Portland, the Bon Appetit-sponsored festival in Portland last weekend, this tasting event was called the Oregon Bounty Grand Tasting. And it was a fun event: While…
Celebrate Oktoberfest in Seattle with Fetes, Food and Brews
“Ein prosit! Ein prosit! Der gemuetlichkeit!” That’s right, ladies and gents, time to don your lederhosen and slip into that dirndl! It’s Oktoberfest! Even if you don’t have plans to make it to the Motherland in Munich, or even travel to the Bavarian Village of Leavenworth, there are plenty of German-style watering holes to celebrate…
Greg Lundgren’s Death Wish
A Seattle artist and entrepreneur wants to give the death industry a makeover
Imagine you are dead. If you’re the type who thinks ahead, you’ve probably already told someone whether you’d rather be cremated or buried. Maybe you even suggested where your ashes should be scattered, or to whom you’d most like to lie next to for all eternity. But most of us don’t get that specific, simply…
What Not to Miss at Fashion Week at The Bellevue Collection
The big news in local fashion right now is Fashion Week at The Bellevue Collection. From September 26 through 30, downtown Bellevue, with Lincoln Square, Bellevue Place and Bellevue Square at its locus, will be abuzz with reliably well-produced runway shows and fun beauty and trend events, both free and ticketed. Many mall retailers, including…
Top Chef and Cheezburger? Bravo Hearts Seattle
November 7 will be quite the day for raising the Emerald City’s national profile; Bravo is debuting, not only the much buzzed about Top Chef Seattle, but also a new “doc-com” about Seattle-based entertainment site, I Can Has Cheezburger? Aptly dubbed LOLwork, the reality show enters the world of Ben Huh and his quirky staff…
Seahawks vs. Packers: Everybody Type About it in All Caps!
Wow. So for once while watching football, I wasn’t the only one in the room who had no clue what was going on. Seattle Seahawks’ 14-12 win over the Green Bay Packers has fueled what some predict will be a season-long debate (sure it will, at least until something else interesting happens). I have no…
Soaring Over Seattle in a Seaplane: Why You Should Do It, Too
I have discovered the perfect gift for any native Seattleite who thinks he/she has done everything in this city. Two words: Seaplane tour ($87.50 per person for a 20-minute flight departing from Lake Union; seattleseaplanes.com). Even the smuggest local can’t remain aloof at this height, taking in gorgeous views, sweeping around the Space Needle and…
What’s the Future of the Seattle Center?
Arguing over the Center has become Seattle’s version of the movie Groundhog Day.
Seattle Center is a 74-acre Rorschach test in which everyone sees what they want to see. It is Lincoln Center to some; Central Park, Tivoli Gardens or Disneyland to others. It is about Bumbershoot, skateboards, the opera, New Year’s fireworks, the Space Needle, the EMP blob, IMAX shows, the fountain and Folklife. It is public,…
Seattle’s “Smart” Meter Switch
As Seattle City Light switches to new “smart” meters, privacy and health advocates get charged up.
Coming soon to a house near yours—well, actually it’s coming to your house, if you live within the purview of Seattle City Light—an advanced electricity metering system that will make you very happy (according to City Light) and very sad (according to privacy and health activists in other areas where this technology has been deployed)….
Take a Cotton to Nontoxic Mattresses
Seattle stores offer an array of chemical-free natural bedding.
Decades ago, our parents and grandparents slept on mattresses stuffed with natural materials, such as feathers, natural latex from rubber trees, straw and wool. While modern polyurethane foam may add a certain bounce to our beds, it comes with trade-offs. Specifically, the chemicals used to improve foam performance or to make it flame retardant. Jackie…
Ramayana, An Epic Hero’s Tale, Unfurls at ACT
It took a village to produce Ramayana, a vast hero tale with a simple moral core.
Boy meets girl, boy marries girl, boy loses girl after evil shape-shifter assumes form of golden deer to distract girl, leading to girl’s abduction by demon king and boy’s subsequent battle against said demon king. If this sounds familiar, you either have a spectacular love life or you’ve heard of the ancient epic poem Ramayana….
