2 weeks till Night Out – organized/registered your block party yet?

Two weeks till Night Out – the annual event bringing neighbors out of their homes and into the streets coast to coast, for block parties to strengthen ties and take a stand for neighborhood safety and solidarity – and to have fun. They’re always the first Tuesday night in August, so that’s August 6th, two weeks from tonight, 6-9 pm. The photo above is one of many we took on Night Out last year, featuring neighbors at 13th and Cambridge in Highland Park. To get permission to close your (non-arterial) street for the night, you need to register your party via the Seattle Police Night Out site – start here. And then, we invite you to let us know about your party, since we’re planning as-it-happens WSB coverage as usual and hoping to drop in on as many parties as we can get to in three hours. Just e-mail the location (cross-streets or block number) to editor@westseattleblog.com – thanks!

    “2 weeks till…” should be “2 weeks ‘TIL” or “2 weeks UNTIL”. how many people get this incorrect; it baffles me. A “till” is a gardening device. UNTIL is shortened ’til. You’d think that an writer would know this common sense shortening.
    while we’re at it…any number under “10” is to be spelled out, thus “two weeks ’til…” is the proper way to word this.

Sorry, comment time is over.
