I’ve been in there a few times, and love the architecture as well as the high-quality care provided by the current owners.
Even during this time of COVID 19, they are still doing their best to entertain us while being safe. Check out their calendar of events.
If you value what the Theatre provides to the City of Everett, head over to their Go Fund Me Preservation Fund campaign. You can help keep this local icon serving the community for generations to come.
Local artist Scalar Theorem just released a new track, Roots, on his Bandcamp page. Definitely give it a listen if you’re a fan of electronica, DubStep, electronic dance music, and the like.
A friend of mine shared this video with me today. Just. Wow! First the artistry of the film shines brilliantly. The story, though, carries it to great heights.
So, clearly, I recommend it. Check it out, then let me know what you think. I hope you love it as much as I.
It was a lovely day, hitting the Edmonds’ Holiday Market (with Thanksgiving coming, there were cranberries to acquire), getting lumpia for lunch there at 88 Cues (anything that brings me back to the Philippines is a good thing). Then I went to this writing seminar in Everett.
Spending time with fellow writers always feels good. Though a small group, we created lively and delightful company. Led by Richard Porter, an Everett based freelance writer and copy editor, who also writes regularly for LiveInEverett.com. Also there: Deb Fox, the creator of the graphic novel “The Everett Massacre” and Andrea (sadly, her last name escaped me, so no links…sorry). Experienced writers all, we covered the basics quickly and cleanly (Richard’s excellent preparation worked well). Then I enjoyed discussing the craft, and the larger world of writing in the internet age, one of my passions.
A group of Seattle bloggers at a Big Blog Meetup at Seattle’s Zeitgeist coffee.
Pulling together bloggers from around Seattle, where we talked blogging, Seattle, politics, and tools of the trade. A few years ago I thought about holding a reunion, which then fizzled into the oblivion of busyness. I still believe pulling the blogger, and extended writer communities together valuable and worthwhile. I think that means I need to get to work.
My mind full of ideas, a few new friends to explore online, and reinforcement of the value of blogging filled me with energy and I look forward to my next steps.
Inspired by C89‘s DJ Trent Von and his Save The Wave show, I crafted my own playlist in Spotify. Give it a listen and let me know what you think. What’s left out? What shouldn’t be on this one?
If you’re a fan of Trent, here are a few places to connect with him online:
Hey Lynnwood & Edmonds area friends, a new local youth theater group, Bigfoot Players, is putting on Midsummer’s Night’s Dream this weekend. I have been helping them form the organization and been privy to all their hard work to bring this to life. I’m proud of all their hard work and passion bringing this together.Â
This link is for their performance schedule. It’s free in Lynndale park’s amphitheater. Check them out!
Morten Lauridsen is one of the great musical products of the Pacific Northwest. Born in Colfax (roughly 1/2 way between Spokane and Pullman), he then grew up in Portland, went to Whitman in Walla Walla, then landed at USC. I’m sad to say I only discovered his music quite recently, as he has been helping the good folks at King FM raise money for their abrupt and mandatory relocation. I’ve been exploring his work throughout the week. Spotify has a nice collection of his work.
I also discovered this interview where he discusses his Magnum Mysterium. Listening to him talk reminds me of the joy I felt when I studied music. I have many moments where I regret stopping those studies. I expect I should write about that at some point.
What do you think of his music? Is there anyone you like? That you would recommend? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
If you could give this post a “like” and share it on your favorite social platform, it would help the blog out greatly. And, please, consider subscribing!
The Traveling Wilburys just popped through my Spotify feed. I loved their music from the get-go. It was sobering, though, to see this photo. 3/5 of them have passed on. Fortunately, Jeff Lynne and Bob Dylan seem to be in good health.
I guess there’s a certain immortality here. Photos, videos, and music give these artists a voice long after they’ve died. Recorded audio has transformed so much of how we life, and how we relate to each other. Seeing connections to them that are indistinguishable from when they were alive is a big one. I’m pretty sure there are people who would be shocked to here a band where every member has been dead for years. And not because of some tragedy, but just life.
