Re-bar :
Fri., February 10, 10:00pm
|
Re-Bar—and this Drinking Issue’s alcohol advertisers—would probably prefer I didn’t say this, but let’s be real: the ideal drink to go along with Omar S’s finely tuned Detroit techno is…water. Water for washing down a tab or two, and for staying...

Let's face it: it's Tuesday (barf), and it's Valentine's Day (double barf), so you're going to want to get college drunk tonight (that goes double for you love song-covering hooligans that plan on getting on stage tonight). So here's what you do (I call it the “Valentine's Liquid...

The Fresh and Onlys are part of a closely connected faction of rock bands burning bright in San Francisco right now that includes Thee Oh Sees, Sonny and the Sunsets, the Sub Pop-signed Kelley Stoltz, and the Hardly Art-signed Sandwitches, all of whom draw influences from raw 60s garage pop and...

In premise, plotting, and style, Alison Bagnall's The Dish and the Spoon would seem like just another mumble-stumble down micro-indie lane. Averting makeup and employment, boho goddess Greta Gerwig tentatively inhabits a beach house off-season, while the camera, as well as the action it...

If all the 2011 grunge anniversary nonsense made you a little sick to your stomach, who can blame you? The movement that changed this town for better or worse (depending on who you talk to) and then spawned a million terrible imitators certainly has its share of detractors. Perhaps the biggest...

Wind Cradle looks like six giant blades of grass, or the magnified cartoon facial hairs of a razor commercial. The thrill of the piece is seeing something so small and delicate rendered as a monument in stainless steel. But indestructible as it looks, fashion has conspired against Wind Cradle....

The Crescent is easily the most popular karaoke bar on Capitol Hill. Drag queens, dykes, and hipsters squeeze into the claustrophobic space like sardines on any given night, and by 12 a.m. there’s usually standing room only. The booze is dirt cheap ($3 wells, $4 pitchers), the bathrooms...

Kamekichi Tokita and Kenjiro Nomura ran a sign shop in Japantown, the neighborhood destroyed by WWII and the illegal internment of its residents. Before that catastrophe, they were both hard-working Issei, first-generation immigrants legally excluded from gaining citizenship, with little free...

John Cusack as romantic lead? It didn't seem likely, but that's exactly what happened with the alchemy of Cameron Crowe's lovely 1989 rom-com (his directorial debut). Ione Skye is the girl, and John Mahoney her disapproving father. Cusack was just graduating from teen fodder when Crowe gifted...

Nothing, it seems, is black-and-white in Iran, and the ambiguities launch out of the films like bottle rockets. For the newcomer, here's an to see Kiarostami's Koker Trilogy over three days: Where Is the Friend's House? (1987), As Life Goes On... (1991), and Through the Olive Trees (1994). Each...

Beacon Hill musician Geoff Curtiss Larson visited a nightclub in Bushwick, Brooklyn (during a temporary 2009 move to NYC), where he was surprised to see a whole barroom full of folks having a blast in the name of Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle. It was the monthly meet-up of the...

As the most touched, caressed, and fondled piece of public art in Seattle, I would nominate Black Sun, installed at the old SAM (now SAAM) on Capitol Hill back in 1969. Hard to remember now, but American-born sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) was once considered a rather daring modernist,...

Since 1982, one of the enduring small pleasures to opening The Seattle Times on Sunday has been Paul Dorpat's before-and-after photo feature, which supplies most of the 200-plus images in Now & Then, MOHAI's final show before moving to SLU next year. In one poignant image, we see Paul Thiry's...

New bars come and go on Capitol Hill, but Linda's Tavern has remained a popular neighborhood staple for 15-plus years. Granted, the once cash-and-beer-only establishment has seen a few changes—most for the good. It now accepts credit cards and houses a full bar and kitchen; and the...

The Olympics are great and all, but some of the sports are just so...archaic. After all, outside of sleeper cells and prep schools, who does archery or fencing? What the International Olympic Committee lacks is a window into the sports of the people, the salt of the earth from places like...

In a neighborhood hyper-concentrated with all that is slim, rustic and meticulously manicured, Bill's Off Broadway is the real deal: an unpretentious sports bar with little sign of a deep clean or an interior decorator. Regular patrons, more of the tatted-and-grungy variety, hang around the...

In the tastefully restrained confines of the Chapel of St. Ignatius at Seattle University, a marble sculpture of Mary next to the altar strikes a jarring note. Representing Mary as a stream of milk spilling out of a bowl onto a craggy rock, the sculpture is a hulking, magnificently bizarre...
