A Benefit You Shouldn’t Miss

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008
Seattle’s vibrant arts scene depends on places like the Fremont Abbey, where multi-medium creative expression is the m.o. for people of all ages. Keep the shows (like the perennial favorite The Round), epic theater performances, and all the programming and classes going and going and going like the energizer bunny. Round up your pennies and [...]

Our Bi-Weekly Visit to Old Oakland

Sunday, July 6th, 2008
I like this about Oakland: every other Thursday in Old Oakland, Washington Ave is blocked off for a street party! Live Reggae music booms from the sound stage as people bop around in the wine garden, which is hosted by Air Lounge and Red Bull. Nathan holds the fort down while Serena & Dutsi make [...]

Opera @ AT&Ts Baseball Field!

Monday, June 23rd, 2008
This Friday night we went to the city to see an Opera video-cast. The Opera was Lucia di Lammermoor , a dramma tragico (tragic opera) in three acts by Gaetano Donizetti . The sunset was a beautiful sight: airplanes and pigeons flew above us as we stood for the star spangled banner. The state-of-the-art, 103-feet-wide, [...]
