Must See
SIFF is in Full Swing
The less than sunny weather forecast is good news for SIFF fans, who’ll be spending many hours indoors watching indie flicks. This weekend we recommend two documentaries profiling pioneering women with local ties: The Punk Singer (5/24, 9:30 p.m.), about feminist rock goddess Kathleen Hanna, lead singer of the groundbreaking Olympia-based riot grrrl band Bikini Kill; and Her Aim Is True (5/27, 2 p.m.), about Jini Dellaccio, the photographer from Gig Harbor whose 1960s shots of rock musicians set the standard for album-cover cool. Both screen at The Harvard Exit. See the full schedule at siff.net

Happy Birthday, Hot Cakes!
Hot Cakes Molten Chocolate Cakery is turning one year old and the store is celebrating all day Saturday, May 25, with half-price goodies, $5 shakes and a special boozy birthday cake shake for $6. If you haven’t yet visited the Ballard sweet spot, now is the time to go.

Each year, Camp Jitterbug draws hundreds of expert jazz dancers to workshops, heart-racing competitions and dance parties across the city. But slightly less coordinated civilians can experience the fun, too, at the public Jump Session Show. Audience members are encouraged to come in era-appropriate dress, join the beginners’ drop-in class and stay for the jammin’ after-party on two dance floors.

Circular Thinking I am very lucky to live just a 12-minute walk away from Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park. It’s a regular destination for my weekly walks and, aside from the world-class art, has one of the city’s best views of Puget Sound. Earlier this week, I went on a wet, windy walk and discovered…

How Angela Dunleavy’s new venture is reimagining experiential marketing—and Seattle spaces.
