West Seattle Friday: SIFF; hike; bingo; theater; tunes …

SIFF AT ADMIRAL THEATER: Though the festival technically started last night, the first Seattle International Film Festival screenings at the Admiral Theater are today/tonight, starting at 4:30 pm (today’s schedule here) – with West Seattle’s venue on the schedule for all three weeks this year!

SEE A MOVIE IN HIGHLAND PARK: Movie night at Highland Park Improvement Club (1116 SW Holden), doors open at 6:30 pm, movie at 7pm.. Free admission. We will be selling snacks and non-alcoholic drinks. There will be folding chairs for seating, or feel free to bring blankets and pillows or non-floor-scratching chairs. Our movie copyright license does not allow us to advertise the movie title so here’s this month’s hint: Michael J. Fox does a little time travel in this 1985 sci-fi comedy.

RAINBOW BINGO: Senior Center of West Seattle (4217 SW Oregon Street) presents Rainbow Bingo. “Fiesta!” is the theme. Doors open 6 pm, Bingo starts 7 pm.

GATEWOOD BENEFIT: Friends of Gatewood Elementary are hosting a concert at The Alki Tavern (1321 Harbor Ave SW). The music is being performed by parents of Gatewood students, who also happen to be in bands. There will be a casual Jam session starting around 6:30 PM. The actual sets will begin around 8.

    AND don’t forget the book sale at Tibbetts Methodist from 10-1 on Saturday.. all hardbacks only a buck and all soft covers only fifty cents. Usually a pretty amazing selection, lots of advance readers and children’s books too.
