Out on the Town: 7/11

photo cred | Sports Press NW

One of my favorite sights in Seattle is – hands down – the Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park on Western Ave downtown. I think this place is probably just very special to me because Kevin and I were able to attend the park the first day it opened way back when! I haven’t been able to return very often  since, but regardless, it has a special place in my heart. This coming Thursday, the park and SAM are throwing a summer celebration! The event is free and open to the public so don’t be shy and make sure  to stop by.

[I gots rhymes, yo.]

There will be jazz music, art! and food provided by food trucks courtesy of BUNS, Grilled Cheese Experience, and Here & There Grill. Yum!

When summer hits Seattle, the events are plentiful so if the sun is out, take advantage of it!

See you Thursday!

Out on the Town: This Weekend

I cannot believe how many wonderful things are going on this weekend! If you don’t have plans yet, start making them!

First off, I am extremely jealous of everyone )including my BFF Max) attending Outside Lands music festival in San Francisco this weekend. What an amazing lineup! I really wish YouTube would’ve struck a deal with the festival organizers for this one so that I could stream the sets live again like I did for Lollapalooza. The Shins, Ellie Goulding, The Black Keys, Beirut, Grouplove…I have to stop now before I make myself even more jealous.

Over here in the Northwest, we’ve also got our own music festival going on across the water this weekend as well. Doe Bay Fest has garnered a ton of buzz these past few months and it is well deserved. I mean…have you SEEN the lineup? It doesn’t matter if you did or didn’t, but you should know that tickets for the music festival sold out even before the lineup was released at all! That’s saying something. Before I leave Seattle, this will be one of the last things I do.

If you’re trying to stay a little closer to Seattle this weekend, then I suggest you snag tickets for you and your friends for the SAM Remix going on tomorrow. Northern Departure, Daydream Vacation, and my new favorite band Craft Spells will be performing too! It’s a very music-oriented weekend, people. Along with the music performances, SAM Remix, which will be down at the Olympic Sculpture Park tomorrow, will also be hosting an outdoor movie screening of Grease, having activities, and on-site artists. Learn more about the event and purchase your ticket here.

The 2nd Annual 12th Ave Festival will be returning to Capitol Hill once again this Sunday, which will run from Noon-6PM. The cost to attend is free, but there will be food available to purchase (all under $5) from some of my favorite Capitol Hill restaurants including Cafe Presse, Poquitos, Cupcake Royale, and many many more.

Century Ballroom in Capitol Hill will be debuting their first flea market on Saturday, which will be a part of their new year-round flea market schedule. I wish I could give you more information on it, but since it’s the very first one, I don’t have much to say yet. I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt to check it out though so make sure you stop by for some treasured goods! I’m totally diggin’ on the idea of Capitol Hill jumping on the flea market band wagon though.

Last, but not least, Seapony, Gold Leaves, and Math and Physics Club will be performing tomorrow as part of the KEXP Seattle Center Concerts at the Mural series. These weekly shows at the mural are free and from what I’ve heard, ton of fun! Doors are at 5; bands play at 6.

Spiraled and Smoke

This weekend, my friends will either be at Warped Tour ’09 at the Gorge or at Hempfest at the three locations, Myrtle Edwards Park, Elliott Bay Park, or the Olympic Sculpture Park.

Where will you be?!
