Must List: Brew Seattle, ‘Buyer & Cellar’ at Seattle Rep
What to do this weekend in Seattle
Must Drink
Get Your Tickets for Seattle magazine’s Brew Seattle
Friday (10/23, 6 to 9 p.m.) If you haven’t attended Seattle magazine’s Brew Seattle the past two years, you’re missing out. The annual local-breweries-only tasting bash corrals some of the best beers from more than 20 breweries such as Big Al Brewing and Schooner Exact under one roof and pairs it all with eats aplenty.
Must Ramble and Read
Experience 30 Readings and 60 Authors in One Night
Thursday (10/22, times vary) Calling all bibliophiles, bookworms and blue-blooded bluestockings, Lit Crawl Seattle is back for a night of gallivanting from Town Hall to First Hill with 30 readings and 60 authors all in one night. Cut a rug after the prose at Fred Wildlife Refuge.
Must Listen
Wayne Horvitz Ensemble to Perform during Silent Movie Mondays
Monday (10/26, 7 p.m.) In 1979, Seattle jazz icon Wayne Horvitz composed a score to accompany a theatrical version of 1920 horror film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Horvitz has reconstructed that piece for a live screening of the film during Silent Movie Mondays. The score will be performed by the Wayne Horvitz Ensemble and the on-screen murders will be performed by a somnambulist under the spell of a deranged hypnotist.
Must Crush
Seahawks Take on the 49ers
Thursday (10/22, 5:25 p.m.) In a post-Jim Harbaugh NFL, one might be tempted to shrug off a meeting with Kaepernick and company. However, this NFC West rivalry is a lifelong commitment, folks. (And we lead the series 18-15, since our first meeting.) Let’s get another “W” for the books.
Must See
Buyer & Cellar at Seattle Repertory Theatre
(10/23 to 11/22, times vary) True story: In order to store her large collection of antiques and vintage garments, Barbra Streisand had a village of faux shops built in the basement of a barn on her property. So, what if an out-of-work actor took a job as a shopkeeper in the fake mall? As they say, hilarity ensues, but also some smart thinking about our unceasing interest in the lives of celebrities.

COOKING WITH ASTER PANTRY A few leaves turn, my inbox fills with fall festival pitches and cozy brunch menus, and suddenly I want to stay home with a glass of wine and cook. I love this nesting season, though I’m not ready to give up summer produce. Earlier this year, I wrote about Seattle chefs…
WALKDONTRUN Returns This Saturday, Turning Downtown Seattle Into a Sprawling Art Show
In its second year, the free festival brings 200-plus artists to a 20-block route September 19, with a secret garden and a former 7-Eleven stocked with art.
Most walks through downtown Seattle involve trying to get somewhere. On September 19, the crosswalk itself might be the reason to stop. Heap Troupe will turn a four-way crossing into a performance, one of dozens of encounters planned for this year’s WALKDONTRUN. The free, all-ages art walk stretches across more than 20 blocks. From 11…
At Two Dot Schoolhouse, Ruth Marie Tomlinson Builds an Artistic Community
For nearly 20 years, the Seattle artist and her husband have welcomed artists, writers, and musicians to a historic Montana schoolhouse. Now they’re searching for its next stewards.
At her solo exhibition last year at The Vestibule, Seattle artist Ruth Marie Tomlinson presented a new series of work inspired by her close readings of British nature writer J.A. Baker’s The Peregrine and Icelandic author Sjón’s The Blue Fox. As if on sheets torn from a sketchbook, her pages included excerpts and outtakes of…

HOOKED ON KNOCKS Admittedly, I am late to this one. The Seahawks’ first season of Hard Knocks, the HBO series that follows NFL teams through training camp, premiered in August, but until last week, I had never heard of it. To be honest, my football knowledge starts with knowing what a touchdown is and doesn’t…
