SONGS INSPIRED BY OUR COMMUNITY: 1:30 pm at Delridge Library:

Write and perform a song inspired by your community. Here’s your chance to learn more about your community and how the environment has changed the world in which we live. We will present a story from someone in your neighborhood, and how the world has changed for them. Then you have the chance to hear music inspired by that story and to co-create a song yourself, with teaching artists from STYLE: Songwriting Through Youth Literature Education. For all ages.

‘VEGAN JUNK FOOD POP-UP’: Look for Cycle Dogs at 4-9 pm outside Best of Hands Barrelhouse – Kaya explained via email:

I’m a West Seattleite who works in a vegan food truck in Ballard. We’re usually at the Peddler Brewing Company, Wednesday thru Sunday, and the truck rarely moves far. But we recently tuned her up and I pushed for our first pop-up on a normally off day to be in West Seattle! We do classic trashy fast food burgers & creative hot dogs, with the twist that everything we serve is 100% vegan! We’ll have a special burger today that has fried mac & cheese on a Beyond Meat patty!

It’d be great to get a large WS turnout and to reach our vegan friends.
