West Seattle Tuesday: Support, stories, puppets, bands, more…

(Even flies can be lovely, as Machel Spence pointed out as she shared this photo)
Speaking of wings, it’s your last chance for a glimpse of the Blue Angels before they’re gone till next summer – plus other highlights from the WSB West Seattle Events calendar:

BLUE ANGELS’ DEPARTURE: Scheduled from Boeing Field around 9:35 this morning. They’re off to Fargo, North Dakota.

JOB SEARCHERS, UNITE: The weekly “Notes From The Job Search” group meets for networking, advice, etc., at C & P Coffee (WSB sponsor; 5612 California SW), 11 am.

SOMALI STORY TIME: 1:30 pm at High Point Library (3411 SW Raymond).

PUPPET SHOW: At the not-far-away South Park Community Center (8319 8th Avenue South), 1:30 pm: Thistle Theater presents: Brother Coyote, Sister Fox (Free, for ages 3 – 11). A delightful and humorous puppet adaptation of a beloved Mexican folktale. Brother Fox wants one thing and one thing only, to catch and eat one of Doña Conchita’s plump chickens. Quick-witted Sister Fox is always one step ahead of him, waiting to trick him with one of her clever schemes to keep all the chickens to herself! Spanish, English and yes…plenty of chickens!

FRISBEE FUN: West Seattle Ultimate Frisbee is now at Fairmount Playfield, Tuesday nights 6:30 – 8:30 pm (and Sundays 11-1).

TUESDAY TUNES: Live music at the Skylark Club and Cafe (3803 Delridge Way SW).

That pic of the fly is awesome. How can I reach the artist?

Tonight is also Tuesday Night SUP’r – Stand Up Paddleboard race from the Kayak Alki shack at 7pm. I’ll work on the crew to get it into the events for next week.

Sorry, I usually hotlink photographers’ names if they have a site but was running short on time this morning, thanks for helping each other out! – TR

I tracked down the photographer’s page and sure enough this fly print is there. http://www.etsy.com/listing/69400313/resting-fly-photograph-8×10-resting-fly

thanks, Jessie … when people take pains to e-mail us directly, as some bands do, we try to get the listing into the morning preview … TR
