The best Cheech and Chong movie was definitely the one with the van made out of pot.

I am so sad to be missing this party!
Deep Wednesdays
Music: Electronic
Comment by: Shilo Urban
I have to check this out!
Wednesday nights in Seattle have been lacking lately for good electronic nights, in case you haven't noticed. Vito's has been coming up on the scene (Italian gangsta kitsch fits really well with disco balls and beats, somehow) and this Deep House night is just what we need!

THE WENDIGO
Theater: Play
Comment by: Shilo Urban
Ah this is a REALLY scary story! I remember reading adaptations when I was a kid, and even now the premise behind the horror tale is pretty damn bone-chilling, and I am quite the ghost story enthusiast and have heard a lot! It reminds me that Halloween is just around the corner!

Colin Might Be Righteous Trash
But he certainly books righteous performers at Nectar- so much so that the hipsters even leave their perches on Cap Hill and head to frattie Fremont. Nectar has great sound and the shows there are just getting better and better.

YOU AFFECT ME/YOU INFECT ME
Am I the only one around who loves Bad Religion? American Jesus? 21st Century Digital Boy (you don't know how to read, but you got a lot of toys...).
I think it reminds me of hanging out with all the freaks/my friends in high school and wallowing gloriously in our outsider status, drinking hella coffee and cruising around, playing Skankin' Pickle?
Oh maybe it is just me.

I love the balcony area, it is a nice place to get away from the mania but still have a great view and feel like you are in the middle of the performance.

The pre party for this party was bananas, and the location could not be more beautiful! Sweet lineup this time around as well!
Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure
Comment by: Shilo Urban
This is the most amazing story ever. Everyone should know the incredible tale of Shackleton and The Endurance. It is mind blowing.
Down in New Zealand where they call Antarctica "the ice," in the Auckland museum there is a recreation of Shackleton's quarters, of the place where they all lived, er...survived. It was really interesting to see the amount of scientific gear and other stuff they were carting around- of course, thankfully they had film gear and video, so we today have documentation of their story. An amazing testament to the strengths and weaknesses of humankind.

LUDACHRIST is the BOMB.COM
Okay I am SO sad that I will be in far far away from Seattle when Ludachrist is here- these guys are freaking insane; they mix like mad, changing tracks every 4 seconds and mash up shit like A-ha with Goodie Mob.
Just check out the mixes on their Myspace profile and TELL me this show isn't gonna be dopest freakshow EVER!!!: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=251077427

It doesn't get any better than electronic music on the beach! I have a wicked wild river party planned for this weekend but for sure will make it back in time for sunset at Golden Gardens!
