Happening today/tonight: “Grease” is your word; “trees” is ours

| Admiral Theater | Fun stuff to do | Holidays

From the latest edition of the West Seattle Weekend Lineup:

If you started to sing along with that clip – then you might consider cruising to the Admiral Theater tonight for the sing-along edition of “Grease” – girls’ lyrics in pink, boys’ lyrics in blue. Also on the agenda today/tonight, more holiday mania: West Seattle’s most famous Christmas tree sellers, the volunteers of the Holy Rosary Tree Lot south of Admiral Safeway, open their doors today, so we’ll be publishing our West Seattle tree-lot list/price survey by day’s end. Noon-4 pm, you’re invited to drop by the Log House Museum to help decorate – bring an ornament or something else to make the home of West Seattle history just a bit more special this season. Same hours, Santa arrives at Westwood Village … hmm, didn’t we just see him downtown Friday morning?

He’s making a lot of West Seattle appearances this holiday season (in The Junction starting next weekend), so he’ll have no excuse not to hear what’s on your list. Two more notes: Southwest Youth and Family Services continues its holiday plant sale 9 am-1 pm, and the White Center Swap Meet and Flea Market (WSB sponsor) celebrates its official grand opening with new hours, 8:30 am-4:30 pm. Lots more in the Saturday section of the Weekend Lineup (hop to it directly from here).

Going to dinner, having a couple of drinks, then my friends and I will be at Grease singing like fools!

The gf and I already have tickets, looking forward to the sockhop afterwards too.

I’m pretty sure that “Grease” played first-run at the Admiral. My sister and a group of her girlfriends from Denny Junior High took in its matinee showings repeatedly — probably 10 or 12 times back when that was considered a lot.

The Grease soundtrack was the first cassette tape I ever got. It was an 8th birthday present from my parents almost exactly 30 years ago this month. I couldn’t wait to pop it in to my portable Realistic tape recorder (the one with the single speaker and the row of buttons along the end) and rock out.

Sorry, comment time is over.
