In hopes of a little extra heads-up, we ran down tonight’s highlights as the week began (transportation forum, neighborhood-group meetings, Seal Sitters training, here’s the full preview for tonight). So now, a few words about Wednesday and Thursday highlights:

WEDNESDAY: Second rehearsal for “Thrill the World-West Seattle,” 8 pm, Ginomai (42nd/Genesee); the team has now chosen West Seattle Food Bank as its charity beneficiary – get updates at the official TWWS website. Right afterward, same place, 9 pm, next “Project Runway” viewing party, since Hotwire Coffee (WSB sponsor) Blayne is still in the running. Also in The Junction: “The Vertical Hour” opens @ ArtsWest. And on a non-entertainment note – though their last meeting was lively in its own way! – the 34th District Democrats meet at 7 pm tomorrow, The Hall at Fauntleroy (agenda here).

THURSDAY: The monthly West Seattle Second Thursday Art Walk, 6-9 pm. Haven’t been lately? It’s not just The Junction any more — participants all over West Seattle; full lineup here. The High Point Neighborhood Association‘s having its quarterly meeting at 6 pm at the Commons Park Amphltheater (pedestrian-safety issues may come up, given what happened last week, but that would be after 7 pm – from 6-7, as noted in comments below, the meeting will include a program about Somali/East African culture). And the Design Review Board meeting for BlueStar‘s Spring Hill mixed-use building at 5020 California (new design previewed here) is at 6:30 pm at Hiawatha.

Friday and beyond – tons of stuff including the West Seattle Gateway Cleanup Saturday (latest preview here) and Share the Bounty (bring your surplus homegrown produce to the Farmers’ Market to share with those in need) on Sunday – more in the WSB Events calendar.
