Seattle Weekend Edition for 03/01/08
I’m not sure where February disappeared to but it seems that March is upon us. February was crazy weather month, wasn’t it? While Seattle was getting snowed upon, here in Austin, Tx, we hit a record high of 92F this week. Yes, I said 92F! That’s just not right!
For those of you just tuning in and wondering why someone from Austin, Texas is writing for Seattle well that’s because the Seattle writer moved on to bigger and better things and I offered to take over short term because I’m familiar with Seattle. This blog would love a permanent Seattle based writer and if you’re interested please write to us.
There are a few fun things happening around Seattle this weekend. One of those things is the I Heart Rummage sale. What’s more fun than a rummage sale? A rummage sale with 35 of the of the best indie crafters in the NW! Admission is free and there will even be a live DJ. I’m just jealous I can’t attend!

Where: Chop Suey, 1325 E. Madison, Seattle, Wa 98122

Also up this weekend is the Seattle Erotic Film Festival. Founded in 2002 by the nonprofit Foundation for Sex Positive Culture, this event is a fundraiser to present a full Seattle Erotic Art Festival to enthusiasts in the Spring of 2009. With their audience continuing to grow, they have moved to the Exhibition Hall of Seattle Center, the regional epicenter for arts and culture. Special guest artists include Midori, David Steinberg, and Michele Serchuk. Performers include Arnaldo!, Seattle’s premiere drag chanteuse; world-class aerialist artists; live psychoclassical music by EQlateral Ensemble; daring bondage suspension; seductive world-class tango; a selection of Seattle’s finest burlesque stars; erotic spoken word and more. Participate in interactive installations: have your photo taken at Barb Penoyar’s popular Photo Booth, or if you prefer, The Virgin Project will sketch your portrait. Feel like making some art yourself? Dr. Sketchy will be there to lead you through a tantalizing life-drawing session that you’ll never forget.
