Baby Ketten Karaoke @ Skylark Café & Club9:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Baby Ketten Karaoke starts at 9 pm at Skylark Café & Club. Details on Baby Ketten and songlists here.
“I know, I know, karaoke is supposed to kinda suck. It is traditionally composed of bad sound, limited song choices, and frat boy margaritaville sing-alongs. We do it all wrong with flattering sound systems, songs that you actually want to sing but can’t find anywhere, and magical song slips that self destruct if “grease megamix” is written on them.”

You do a quick line check, introduce yourself to the audience, and get right to performing your 15-minute set (three songs is a good estimate since that includes set up and break down time).
Sign-up sheet goes out every Wednesday at 8:00pm sharp (trivia will still be in progress so don’t be alarmed). You must be present in person to sign up for an open mic slot. The only exception is bands on tour who have made arrangements in advance for a particular time.
We are set up for full bands of any genre, singer/songwriters, and pretty much anything else unplugged or plugged. Our backline is one bass amp, two guitar amps, one full drum set, and multiple mics/micstands and music stands. Additional details here.

Seattle Shakespeare Company’s “Julius Caesar” @ The Hall at Fauntleroy6:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Dinner theatre in West Seattle!
Shakespeare’s great political thriller portrays the life-and-death struggle for power in Rome. Envious of the charismatic Caesar and his ambitions, a faction of politicians plot his assassination. After Caesar is killed, chaos consumes Rome. Julius Caesar investigates the turbulent nature of power and the ethics of those who wield it. For Seattle Shakespeare Company’s touring shows, the small-cast ensemble plays multiple parts with quick changes and distinctive character choices that make for a showcase of great acting.
Dinner for this event is catered by Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes at their home venue; the historic and beautiful Hall at Fauntleroy (formerly the Fauntleroy Schoolhouse). The doors for the event will open at 6 pm, dinner will be served at 6:30 pm, and the performance will begin at 7:15 pm.
When ordering tickets, please note the menu entree options and order accordingly.
Please note: Julius Caesar contains onstage violence and may not be appropriate for all children.

Earthrise Chamber Choir Concert @ Westside Unitarian Universalist Chapel7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
Earthrise Chamber Choir Concert to Feature Works of Women Poets and Composers
Friday, May 31, 7:30 pm
Westside Unitarian Universalist ChapelEarthrise Chamber Choir’s next concert will be “The Tree of Life — Women Poets and Composers,” focusing on works by Emily Dickenson, Ysaye Barnwell, Pauline Oliveros, Catherine Dalton, and others.
From modern arrangements of 12th-century composer Hildegard von Bingen to the experimental work of Pauline Oliveros, conductor Bert Gulhaugen selected eleven pieces which speak to a particular moment in the life cycle. The concert opens with Catherine Dalton’s haunting piece, “From the State of Emptiness,” which evokes sacred music from many traditions. “I chose it for the opening work because it will help the audience get to a place of peace and calm,” says Gulhaugen. The joyful “Caterpillars Crawl” by Elizabeth Alexander was written for children’s choirs, but Gulhaugen points out its universal message. “We can all be reminded of the life lesson to ‘go out on a limb,’” he says. The concert ends with Gwyneth Walker’s stirring anthem “The Tree of Peace” that exhorts us to listen to one another, that “love shall tread out the fire of anger.”
Friday, May 31st, 2013, 7:30 pm at Westside Unitarian Universalist Congregation, 7141 California Ave SW, 98136. Tickets are available at www.BrownPaperTickets.com: $15 in advance and $18 at the door.
Earthrise Chamber Choir is a nonprofit auditioned community choir that is a resident ensemble of Westside Unitarian Universalist Congregation. Its conductor is Bertram Gulhaugen. Read more at

The class, as always, is open to anyone curious about the marvelous art of Tai Chi. All we ask is that you dress for the weather and bring friends. The main focus of the class is in teaching people what they can do to improve the basic quality of daily life, i.e. smoother, deeper breathing, a more stable sense of balance, how to let stress pass by us rather than trapping it in our bodies, etc. We will be out in the fresh air, having a grand time and maybe even learning something before we’re done.
When: We begin class at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday April 6th, 2013 and continue until September 28th, 2013
Where: We meet just West of the Statue of Liberty, but will move the class up or down the beach to accommodate the many festivals that occur during Summer.

HPIC’s Rain Garden event @ Highland Park Improvement Club10:00 am – 1:00 pm
Let’s welcome June to Seattle with more rain gardens! June 1, 2013 10 am at HPIC, celebrate Community Rain Garden Planting Day and learn about the beautiful rain garden that’s been added to Highland Park Improvement Club’s parking lot. This functional landscape feature is helping prevent polluted runoff from entering the Duwamish River. The soils and the plants were chosen because of their ability to soak up runoff and break down the pollutants.
Spring is here! Gardens are blooming, and everything is coming to life. Some of these gardens are more than just beautiful to look at – they actually help to solve one of the largest sources of pollution problems for Puget Sound and local waterways. Neighbors all over West Seattle are taking simple actions to convert their existing yards, pathways, and driveways to be more water friendly – including the Highland Park Improvement Club (HPIC).
HPIC, in partnership with Sustainable Seattle and King County, is working to battle stormwater pollution by installing a rain garden to slow the flow of rainwater and prevent these pollutants from entering our river. The community-designed rain garden will be a beautiful and functional demonstration of a green infrastructure approach to reducing stormwater pollution. With their new rain garden, HPIC is beautifying
the Highland Park-Riverview neighborhood and helping address the challenge of rain water runoff pollution.Stormwater runoff is one of the largest sources of pollution in the Puget Sound area. It carries chemicals and oils from roads and other hard surfaces down storm drains. In some areas, including in Highland Park, this combines with our house wastewater. In large storm events, these systems overflow, carrying our house waste and runoff pollutants right into our waterways.
Join us on Saturday, June 1st at HPIC to finish this community-designed rain garden! If you have driven by HPIC recently, you may have seen a portion of the asphalt replaced with soil – that is the area home to the new rain garden. The contractor, Rain Dog Designs, will be on hand on June 1 to answer questions and guide the planting.
On that day, HPIC will also be the host to many other ways that you can get involved at home. Join us for the Yards in the Neighborhood Tour:
•Take part in the planting of the rain garden
•Embark on a short, self guided walking tour to learn about rain gardens
and see demonstrations of green infrastructure
•Meet RainWise contractors learn about incentives and reimbursements for
installing rain gardens and cisterns
•Visit booths and see demonstrations
•Learn five easy take-home actions to help Duwamish River!When: June 1, 10am to 1pm
Where: Highland Park Improvement Club, 1116 SW Holden
Event is FREE and open to all. Come and go as you please.The Highland Park-Riverview Yards in the Neighborhood tour is a partnership between HPIC, Washington Environmental Council, Sustainable Seattle, and King County. The tour and HPIC’s rain garden are funded in part by a grant from the King County Wastewater Treatment Division.

Log House Museum: Alki Lighthouse exhibit/celebration12:00 pm – 4:00 pm
The Southwest Seattle Historical Society is planning a complementary celebration of the Alki Lighthouse Centennial on Saturday, June 1. That afternoon, during its open hours of noon to 4 pm, the organization’s Log House Museum — just a half mile east of the lighthouse — will host an expanded lighthouse exhibit. The exhibit will feature artifacts, rare photos, memorabilia and artwork, all focused on telling the story of the lighthouse, including the decades prior to its construction when a single lantern provided the same function of aiding the navigation of sailing ships and steering them away from danger.
A brief program on Saturday, June 1, will begin at 2 pm, with presentations by area residents with connections to the lighthouse. A highlight of the afternoon is an emphasis on children’s activities, including an opportunity for each child to color his or her own version of the Alki Lighthouse. Each child who completes the coloring exercise will receive a handmade, hand-decorated cookie that is a replica of the lighthouse.
“We are hoping that everyone who visits the Alki Lighthouse on its first touring day of the summer will also stop in just a few blocks away at our Log House Museum,” says Clay Eals, executive director of the Southwest Seattle Historical Society. “By the end of the afternoon, we hope that at least 100 children will have visited us so that we can display 100 colored versions of the lighthouse in honor of the 100th birthday.”
The expanded lighthouse exhibit will run through early September, with new items added in coming weeks. “We are calling it a centennial summer,” Eals says.

Working since the 1970′s, Nytom creates art in his own design style in many mediums including limited editions serigraphs, painting cedar boxes, jewelry, and wood carving. Nytom he who walks around is the adult Indian name of the artist John Goodwin. The late NW artist, Art Thompson, was one of his mentors. His work has been shown in art galleries throughout North America.
Also featured is the work of Peter Dunthorne. Born September 2, 1951 in Mount Vernon, Washington, Peter completed a BFA degree in Graphic Design in 1975 from the University of Washington School of Art. Peter lives with his wife Susan on the Upper Skagit Indian Reservation near Sedro-Woolley.

The Seattle Rainmakers play Ultimate Frisbee @ Southwest Athletic Complex1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Major League Ultimate (MLU) is establishing one of its eight professional ultimate frisbee teams in the Seattle area. The Seattle Rainmakers join the MLU’s Western Conference, and kick off their season on April 20th against the Vancouver Nighthawks at SWAC (Southwest Athletic Complex).
The regular season schedule runs from April 20 through June 22. Games are played at the Southwest Athletic Complex near Chief Sealth High School, and tickets are available for $16. Discounts are available for students and children. See the season schedule (with ticketing links) by going here.
The Seattle Rainmakers are coached by the highly decorated Ben Wiggins, a participant in, and coach of, elite ultimate in the northwest for the better part of the last decade. Wiggins has won awards at the highest level of collegiate ultimate, taken three club championships with Seattle’s premier club team, Seattle Sockeye, and has two World Championship silver medals to his name.
“Seattle has an amazing Ultimate community,” said Wiggins. “Hopefully the Rainmakers can show them something new that also embodies a love for the game wherever we play.”
Wiggins selected a 25-man roster in mid-March following a comprehensive two-day combine that tested participants on speed, strength, agility and disc skills. The resulting team is deep on talent, athleticism and, perhaps most importantly, experience.
“I think the Rainmakers are right there talent-wise with the best teams in the league,” said General Manager Max Vitali. “When you look at the years of experience a lot of these players bring and combine it with the pedigree of our coaching staff, it’s tough to find another team in the league that looks better on paper than us.”
Vitali is looking forward to watching his team in action, and has high hopes for their prospects in this inaugural season. More than that, he’s excited to bring a fast-growing sport to the city of Seattle.
“The fans in Seattle have absolutely blown us away over the last several months. We’re overjoyed that we can showcase the next phase of ultimate in their city, and we’re looking forward to bringing home the MLU’s first championship trophy later this summer.”
The regular season schedule runs from April 20 through June 22. Games are played at Chief Sealth Stadium (SWAC) near West Seattle, and tickets are available for $16. Discounts are available for students and children.

This is a moment of contemplation with sacred music in a sacred place, a chance to connect with the divine. All you are asked to do is come, and be, all are welcome, and all are loved. People can expect, low lights, candles, incense, and 20 minutes of contemplative music as they sit silently, and experience the divine as they know God to be.

Sewage Overflow Prevention “Long-Term Control Plan” meeting @ Seattle City Hall4:30 pm – 6:30 pm
Seattle Public Utilities invites community input at a meeting on Monday, June 3, 2013 4:30-6:30 pm at Seattle City Hall:
In 2012, 154 million gallons of untreated sewage and stormwater flowed into our lakes, creeks, and Puget Sound. Seattle Public Utilities is preparing a long-range plan that will create a comprehensive strategy to reduce these Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs). The plan will:
Identify areas of Seattle where CSO reduction projects are required
Evaluate solutions for reducing CSOs in affected areas
Select a preferred alternative for each affected area
Recommend a schedule for designing and constructing projects from 2016-2025SPU is preparing a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to identify potential impacts to people and the environment. Scoping was done in 2011 to determine the range or “scope” of issues to study in the Programmatic EIS. Since then, federal and state regulators have provided SPU with the option of developing a new approach to the plan that addresses both sewage overflows and stormwater discharges, so there is a new scoping effort underway for the revised plan.

Delridge branch of Seattle Public LibraryWe would like to thank those of you who visited our booths at recent community events.

Over the month of May, we saw many of you at Gathering of Neighbors, West Seattle Community Garage Sale Day, “We Heart Co-ops!” Seattle Greendrinks celebration with SLICE and YES magazine, and the West Seattle Bee Festival and Parade.
We have a lot of fun ahead of us this summer as we attend community events, visit with our neighbors, and continue to promote our healthy food co-op. We have an incredible group of generous volunteers and invite more of you to join us to see how you can help.
We thank those of you who have already pledged their donations towards a co-op membership. We encourage you to make your commitment to be a founding member of this unique and valuable asset to our community. Currently, donations and pledges towards co-op member/owner shares can be made by cash, check, or credit/debit cards at our public meetings and the Delridge Grocery booth at many upcoming community events.

Real Change Education Forum @ High Point Library6:30 pm – 7:30 pm
An invitation to a community discussion from Magan Do, Program Coordinator, Real Change News:
Thank you all for your continued support of Real Change News. Last year we contacted you all about few individuals in your community who have misrepresented themselves as Real Change vendors. We have continued to build a relationship with West Seattle business owners and police to address this problem.Again, these individuals are not authorized to sell the paper due to noncompliance with our Code of Conduct, which requires that vendors show respect to store owners and customers and refrain from drinking or drug use while selling the paper. We are anticipating a rise in activity with the upcoming summer months, and would like to gather together to answer any questions that community and business members may have.
Please join us at the High Point Library (3411 SW Raymond Street) on Monday, June 3 at 6:30 pm for a community discussion.
We believe that together we can end the problems associated with these individuals. Some of the tips we’ve been giving community members:
* Purchase the paper from vendors with badges only. Please only
purchase the paper from vendors displaying a Real Change badge with
the current year printed on it. If a vendor is not wearing a badge,
please ask to see one. The current 2013 badge is orange.
* Support your badged vendors. Please continue to support authorized
Real Change vendors and let them know their presence is appreciated.
They appreciate and deserve your support!
* If you have an incident with someone who may be a Real Change
vendor, please contact Vendor Services Program Coordinator Magan Do
at (206) 441-3247 ext. 206.
* Please call the police immediately if you witness any illegal activity.Thank you for helping us provide opportunity and a voice to Seattle’s poor and homeless

Notes from the Job Search, West Seattle group @ C & P Coffee Company (WSB sponsor)11:00 am – 11:00 am
Job search help and networking opportunity. From the original announcement:
“Notes From the Job Search” is about helping people find new jobs. In the years we’ve been meeting at C&P Coffee we have laughed a great deal, we have met some really amazing people and a lot of them have found new jobs. The way we work is to break down job search into its component parts, study each of those and figure out how to use these parts in ways that give us the best chance of identifying and then getting a job where we will consistently exceed expectations. We start with our skills and strengths, then how to capture that in a resume. A resume that can be tuned to each specific job we apply to. We learn how new tools like Linkedin can be used as tools for helping our friends and allowing them to help us. Then we try to put this all together and into a campaign for a great job. If you are looking for a new job, we would love to see you at C&P Coffee, Tuesdays at 11 am.

Westwood-Roxhill-Arbor Heights Community Council meeting @ Chief Sealth International High School6:30 pm – 9:00 pm
The Westwood-Roxhill-Arbor Heights (WWRHAH) Community Council meets the first Tuesday of every month:
WWRHAH Community Council hosts King County Metro
Tuesday, June 4th, 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM
Chief Sealth International High School Library
2600 SW Thistle St Seattle, WA 98126On Tuesday, June 4th, from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM, King County Metro will be at Chief Sealth High School in West Seattle to speak to residents of Arbor Heights, Roxhill, and Westwood about upcoming and previous cuts to their service areas and bus routes.
This will take the place of our regular monthly Westwood/Roxhill/Arbor Heights (WWRHAH) Community Council meeting. Please take the time to attend this very important community discussion, as it affects and impacts every single one of us that lives in these neighborhoods. People from all neighborhoods are welcome to attend.
Why you should be aware of what is happening, in addition:
If you are a bus commuter, you may see longer delays between bus service or your bus stop may be removed. Your bus route itself may be removed.
If you are a car commuter, the traffic for your drive and travel time WILL increase if the buses are cut. Nearly all West Seattle bus commuters own cars–we’ll be forced back into those cars.
If you commute toward the direction of downtown, the West Seattle Bridge and 1st Avenue South Bridge will become choke points.
Combine this bus route cutting with the SR-99 Viaduct going away soon for our new Deep Bore Tunnel, and it will get ugly trying to drive out of West Seattle.Here are the proposed bus service reductions from a graphic that King County Metro created. Red lines will be cut. Blue lines will be reduced service.
Please come to this important meeting and discussion.

We do it all wrong with flattering sound systems, songs that you actually want to sing but can’t find anywhere, and magical song slips that self destruct if “grease megamix” is written on them.”

Sign-up sheet goes out every Wednesday at 8:00pm sharp (trivia will still be in progress so don’t be alarmed). You must be present in person to sign up for an open mic slot. The only exception is bands on tour who have made arrangements in advance for a particular time.
We are set up for full bands of any genre, singer/songwriters, and pretty much anything else unplugged or plugged. Our backline is one bass amp, two guitar amps, one full drum set, and multiple mics/micstands and music stands. Additional details here.

West Seattle High School all-school reunion @ West Seattle High School5:00 pm – 9:00 pm
West Seattle High School All School Reunion
Friday June 7th 2013Like the swallows returning to Capistrano the Alumni of West Seattle flock to school every year on the first Friday in June. The WSHS All School Reunion is a long tradition that brings Alumni of all ages to gather and celebrate with former classmates. There are some exciting new changes to the program starting this year, 2013, to make your evening more fun, informative, and nostalgic. A new video slideshow “92 Years of Westside Pride” will premiere at this year’s All School Reunion. The video runs for almost an hour with over 600 photos. Many of you will be surprised to see yourself, parents or even in some cases you grandparents preserved on the video. The fun starts at 5:00 pm with each class meeting later in designated rooms. The Class of 1963 will have their 50th Reunion honored with a special recognition. The program includes awarding the Alumni Scholarships for year. The students have a few moments to acknowledge acceptance.
The Hall of Fame’s two new inductees for the year are introduced and recognized for their accomplishments. It’s interesting to hear about and from our fellow Alumni who have outstanding achievements in a variety of fields. Also premiering this year is a video slideshow “Meet the Members” because the Hall of Fame for years has just been names and faces on the wall to most of us. Their stories are fascinating and they made the most from their time at Westside High.
In addition Classic Cars are on display on SW Stevens street on the north side of the school from 4:30 pm until 7:00 pm. This year’s All School Reunion will be held on June 7th with the doors opening at 5:00. We hope to see you there this year. If you haven’t been to your ASR come on down this year and you will be surprised by who you will see and how much fun you will have. After all your friends are there and want to see you.

The Whale Trail speaker series: Erich Hoyt @ The Hall at Fauntleroy7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
The fifth in The Whale Trail series of speakers/meetings takes place at The Hall at Fauntleroy at 7:00-9:00 pm Saturday June 8th. Tickets available online.
Join us for this this rare Seattle appearance by noted author, whale researcher and marine conservationist Erich Hoyt, author of Orca: The Whale Called Killer.
Erich Hoyt’s first killer whale expedition to Johnstone Strait sailed from Victoria, BC in June 1973, 40 years ago this June. He proceeded to spend parts of the next 10 summers with orcas, culminating in his now-classic book Orca: The Whale Called Killer. He went on to study and work on conservation projects related to other whales, dolphins, sharks, deep sea creatures, ants and social insects, working in Costa Rica, Japan, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Argentina, Chile and other countries.
In 1999 he co-founded the Far East Russia Orca Project (FEROP) to find out more about orca pods targeted for aquarium captures and to get Russian students involved in science and conservation of killer whales in Russian waters. Now in its 15th year, FEROP has recorded the Russian pods and photo-IDed some 1500 orcas off Kamchatka and in the Commander Islands — including three white orcas found so far in the study areas.
This is the fifth in a series of Orca Talks hosted by The Whale Trail. The event also features updates from Robin Lindsay (Seal Sitters), and “Diver Laura” James (tox-ick.org and Puget Soundkeeper Alliance), and photography from Judy Lane. Buy tickets early!
About the Speaker
Erich Hoyt is a noted marine conservationist, whale researcher, lecturer and author of more than 20 books including Orca: The Whale Called Killer, The Earth Dwellers, and Marine Protected Areas for Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises, the latter recently named as an “Outstanding Academic Title” by the journal Choice.He is an authority on marine protected areas (MPAs) and sanctuaries, and is currently Research Fellow with WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, leading its Global Critical Habitat MPA Program. He also co-directs the Far East Russia Orca Project in Kamchatka and the Russian Cetacean Habitat Project in the Commander Islands.
He is as an appointed member of the IUCN Species Survival Commission’s Cetacean Specialist Group and the World Commission on Protected Areas, and co-chairs the new IUCN Marine Mammal Protected Areas Task Force. He is a member of the International Committee for Marine Mammal Protected Areas and has helped organize and program its world conferences in Hawaii (2009), Martinique (2011) and Australia (to be 2014).
A former Vannevar Bush Fellow in the Public Understanding of Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and twice James Thurber Writer-in-Residence at The Thurber House, Hoyt was awarded the Mandy McMath Conservation Award in April this year by the European Cetacean Society at its annual conference for his body of work including books, papers and work on marine conservation. He is a Canadian-US dual citizen who has lived in Scotland since 1989.
About The Whale Trail
The Whale Trail (www.thewhaletrail.org) is a series of sites around the region where the public may view orcas and other marine mammals from shore. Our mission is to inspire appreciation and stewardship of whales and our marine environment by establishing a network of viewing sites along the whales’ trails through the Salish Sea and the coastal waters of the Pacific Northwest.Our goals are to increase awareness that our marine waters are home to orcas and other species; connect visitors to orcas, other marine wildlife and their habitat; inspire stewardship and build community; promote land-based whale watching. Our over-arching goal is to ensure the southern resident orcas do not go extinct.
The Whale Trail provides simple, powerful, and long-lasting reminders to visitors and residents alike that orcas and other whales live in our waters. Through our current sites and signs, including two on every Washington State ferry, we reach more than 22 million people each year. Our near-term goals are to add a site in every coastal county in Washington, and around Vancouver Island, throughout the orcas’ range. Together, we will turn the tide for the whales!
The Whale Trail is led by a core team of partners including NOAA Fisheries, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Seattle Aquarium, the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary, and the Whale Museum. Donna Sandstrom is the Founder and Executive Director. The Whale Trail is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, registered in Washington State.

Notes from the Job Search, West Seattle group @ C & P Coffee Company (WSB sponsor)11:00 am – 11:00 am
Job search help and networking opportunity. From the original announcement:
“Notes From the Job Search” is about helping people find new jobs. In the years we’ve been meeting at C&P Coffee we have laughed a great deal, we have met some really amazing people and a lot of them have found new jobs. The way we work is to break down job search into its component parts, study each of those and figure out how to use these parts in ways that give us the best chance of identifying and then getting a job where we will consistently exceed expectations. We start with our skills and strengths, then how to capture that in a resume. A resume that can be tuned to each specific job we apply to. We learn how new tools like Linkedin can be used as tools for helping our friends and allowing them to help us. Then we try to put this all together and into a campaign for a great job. If you are looking for a new job, we would love to see you at C&P Coffee, Tuesdays at 11 am.

“I know, I know, karaoke is supposed to kinda suck. It is traditionally composed of bad sound, limited song choices, and frat boy margaritaville sing-alongs. We do it all wrong with flattering sound systems, songs that you actually want to sing but can’t find anywhere, and magical song slips that self destruct if “grease megamix” is written on them.”

“Artists Rebel Against 4 Walls” Mobile Screen Tour @ ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery6:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Interstitial Theatre is pleased share an unique event happening this summer: Seattle’s very first Mobile Screen VIDEO ART Tour heading to 8 different communities around Seattle!
Artists Rebel Against 4 Walls: Building a Rolling Video Art Gallery
3 Women Bring Video Art to the Streets of SeattleJune 13th at ArtsWest Playhouse and Gallery
6–9 pmInstead of closing shop when things got tough, Interstitial Theatre found a creative solution to better serve artists and the community. Starting this April, the 3 ladies of Interstitial Theatre are bringing video art to 8 different neighborhoods across Seattle with their Mobile Video Screen.
The reels feature internationally and locally acclaimed artists for a total of 14 talented people and 3 different reels. “Video Art will not be ignored” says Interstitial Theatre’s co-founder & Lead Curator Julia Bruk, “because we are bringing it directly to the community.”
After learning that their building in SoDO was closing, the women of Interstitial Theatre took matters into their own hands and built a mobile, weatherproof box-on-wheels to house a screen for exhibiting video art. The Mobile Screen was an instant hit at last Summer’s art events; NEPO 5k Don’t Run and Push Arts New Media Festival. This
Spring and Summer citizens of Seattle will experience video art in their own backyards. Over the course of the next 6 warmer months (April-Sept) the Mobile Screen will stop in Pioneer Square, Capitol Hill, Ballard, Georgetown, Columbia City, West Seattle, PhinneyRidge/Greenwood and the International District.Since Interstitial Theatre opened its doors just 3 years ago, they have successfully produced 25 exhibits featuring video and new media art by over 45 different artists, showcasing primarily local talent. The women of Interstitial Theatre are passionate in their belief that video and new media art is essential for the public to experience.
“It’s becoming progressively harder to live without pixels embedded into our every day routines and the Mobile Screen offers a way to critique our evolving culture” says Julia Greenway, Curator at Interstitial Theatre.
Interstitial Theatre is breaking boundaries, finding unique ways to exhibit artwork and make new media art accessible to the larger Seattle public at no charge.
With this tour, Interstitial Theatre hopes to encourage people to stop and think, just for a moment, about how the screens in their lives affect their own relationships to the world around them.

Please feel free to bring them even earlier than 6:30 am. We are doing this to raise awareness over the weekend for drivers to SLOW DOWN on that stretch of road.
Starting at 7am we will run a 5K on Alki to show our support of the 54-year-old woman and her family. Please invite friends, family and join us to either “light up Fairmount” OR for the 5K run or walk. Hope to see you there and my thoughts & prayers go out to the victim and her family!!

The class, as always, is open to anyone curious about the marvelous art of Tai Chi. All we ask is that you dress for the weather and bring friends.

When: We begin class at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday April 6th, 2013 and continue until September 28th, 2013
Where: We meet just West of the Statue of Liberty, but will move the class up or down the beach to accommodate the many festivals that occur during Summer.

Notes from the Job Search, West Seattle group @ C & P Coffee Company (WSB sponsor)11:00 am – 11:00 am
Job search help and networking opportunity. From the original announcement:
“Notes From the Job Search” is about helping people find new jobs. In the years we’ve been meeting at C&P Coffee we have laughed a great deal, we have met some really amazing people and a lot of them have found new jobs. The way we work is to break down job search into its component parts, study each of those and figure out how to use these parts in ways that give us the best chance of identifying and then getting a job where we will consistently exceed expectations. We start with our skills and strengths, then how to capture that in a resume. A resume that can be tuned to each specific job we apply to. We learn how new tools like Linkedin can be used as tools for helping our friends and allowing them to help us. Then we try to put this all together and into a campaign for a great job. If you are looking for a new job, we would love to see you at C&P Coffee, Tuesdays at 11 am.

Teepa Snow: Caring for those with Dementia @ Providence Mount St. Vincent7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
Providence Mount St. Vincent will once again bring dementia care educator Teepa Snow to Seattle to train caregivers how to care for those living with dementia.
Snow will offer three free workshops. All will take place at the Providence Mount St. Vincent Chapel – 3rd floor, 4831 35th Ave SW, Seattle.
These presentations are ideal for professional and family caregivers helping a loved one living with dementia at home or other living situations such as assisted living facilities or nursing homes.
Session one, “The ABCs of Dementia and Caregiving,” will be held Tuesday, June 18, 2013, from 7 to 9 pm. No RSVP is needed.
Session two, “Focus on activities: What’s cooking and activities and programming for men,” will be held Wednesday, June 19, 2013, from 8 am to 12 pm. RSVP requested for those staying for lunch (small charge, cash or check only).
Session three, “Focus on caregiving tasks and getting the person clean and mouth care,” will be held Wednesday June 19, 2013, from 1 to 5 pm. RSVP requested for those staying for lunch (small charge, cash or check only).
Teepa Snow has worked for more than 30 years in geriatrics, receiving local, statewide and national recognition for her expertise in geriatrics, dementia care and staff training. She has developed two training videos, published many articles, and presents on a variety of topics.
Snow’s workshops on caring for those with memory problems have been offered across the country. They help caregivers better understand dementia conditions and the symptoms that accompany them and provide tools and knowledge to help caregivers better interact and communicate with those they care for. Caregivers will learn how to provide care without taking over and will be encouraged to take care of themselves and reach out to others to form stronger ties and support. Whether a professional or family caregiver, a volunteer or a student, this workshop will be valuable to you.

“I know, I know, karaoke is supposed to kinda suck. It is traditionally composed of bad sound, limited song choices, and frat boy margaritaville sing-alongs. We do it all wrong with flattering sound systems, songs that you actually want to sing but can’t find anywhere, and magical song slips that self destruct if “grease megamix” is written on them.”
