Seattle City of Music Awards Tries on Hollywood

I have to admit, when I got to the Showbox at the Market last night, I was not even remotely prepared for what would greet me: a red carpet and a Hollywood-style backdrop for photo ops with Seattle's music royalty. VIPs sat at tables near the stage. Everyone else milled around at the bar upstairs. T ... More >>
