A haunting image in This is Who I Am: Our Beauty in All Our Shapes and Sizes (Artisan, $25.95) shows a gorgeous, doe-eyed woman named Emily posing nude without an ounce of fat on her toned, 22-year-old thighs. In the accompanying text, Emily reveals she has cystic fibrosis, which kills most... More >>

Ball of Wax 13 wtih Southside, Smile Brigade, Virgin of the Birds, Jon Garcia, Bret Phillips, St. Rainbow, Olie Eshelman Sunset Tavern	Thu., August 21, 8:00pm	Ballard	Music
Maybe it's just the Mommy in me talking, but Ball of Wax #13 needs to have its mouth washed out with a bar of soap. And not some wimpy, floral scented crap from Bath and Body Works. I'm talking about holding its tongue out between your index finger and thumb and giving it the Silkwood treatment... More >>

Ice Cube Showbox at the Market	Thu., August 21, 8:00pm	Downtown	Music
Okay Cube, here's the deal. You are a LEGEND with a capital L. There's no denying that. But you, my man, are suffering from an image problem. Your latest album, Raw Footage, is set to drop at month's end into a market where the vast majority of the public is familiar with you from the... More >>

The Moondoggies (CD release), Whalebones, Grant Olsen (Arthur & Yu), Genepool Tractor Tavern	Thu., August 21, 9:00pm	Ballard	Music
I have to admit: I thought this CSN/Big Pink/Burrito Brothers/Full Tilt Boogie with wisps of the Dead thing that's happening may have jumped the proverbial shark, when, after a late night show in Ballard recently, I witnessed some beyond-wasted frat bros trying to drunkenly harmonize the chorus...

Movies on the Pedestal Rainier Square	Every week Thursday from Thu., July 10 until Thu., August 28	Downtown	Local Film/Arthouse
You want the 2005 Mr. & Mrs. Smith to be a lot more fun than it actually is. How much brainpower did it take to unite Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as rival assassins who unwittingly marry each other? Beginning at the marriage counselor’s office, Pitt and Jolie speak directly to camera... More >>

Jenny Heishman: Water Mover Ernst Park	Daily	Fremont	Family Events Art Exhibitions
Unbuilt lots, even sloped blackberry patches sitting on unstable soil, are fast disappearing in Seattle. Particularly in Fremont, where townhouses sprout like mushrooms, any real-estate resistance is appreciated. Sitting next to the Fremont Branch Library, A.B. Ernst Park was completed four... More >>

David B. Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery	Daily from Fri., August 15 until Mon., August 25, 6:00pm	Georgetown	Art Exhibitions
Known by his nom de ’toon David B., Parisian author-illustrator Pierre-François Beauchard is visiting town as part of the Alliance Française’s tribute to the French graphic novel. His autobiographical Epileptic (Pantheon, $17.95) is new in paper, and he’ll likely... More >>

Godard's 60s SIFF Cinema	Daily from Sat., August 9 until Thu., August 28	Queen Anne	Local Film/Arthouse
Godard's fourth feature, My Life to Live (1959), is a rocket from Pandora's Box. It's sectioned into 12 "tableaux," each chapter opening with an intertitle describing its contents. The framing is carefully indiscriminate; faces are backlit into murk; café clatter swallows conversation.... More >>

Geoff McFetridge: The Mind Olympic Sculpture Park	Daily	Belltown	Art Exhibitions
Better known for his design work for Nike, Burton Snowboards, and Marc Jacobs, the L.A.–based artist Geoff McFetridge has taken over the PACCAR Pavilion with a graphically strong installation. The Mind encompasses the entire sloped-ceiling space, with a crowd of line-drawn faces papering... More >>

“You Say Goodbye, I Say Hello” Tigertail	Daily from Wed., August 13 until Sat., September 20	Ballard	Art Exhibitions
Seattle has a muscular, well-known crop of male rock photographers, but when our Hannah Levin needs a last-minute photo for her “Rocket Queen” column, she often turns to three local ladies: Jenny Jimenez, Laura Musselman, and Sarah Joann Murphy. Levin has now curated a show, “You... More >>
