Registration Details: Press Release, Rock the Terminal, Art Market, On November 7th from 6 PM until 10 PM an amazing arts event will be taking place at Art/Not Terminal Gallery (2045 Westlake Avenue). It 's not that there will be 30 artists there to show & sell their work. It's not that it includes a market place to find beautiful locally created art objects to take home & treasure. It's not even that there will be 4 bands, and a live entertainer, along with fantastic sweet & savory appetizers. What is amazing about this event is that it is bringing together arts organizations that are traditionally competitors. The sponsors include all four major art stores, (Artist & Craftsman Supply, Dakota Art Supply, Daniel Smith, and Utrecht). Also working with each other will be Cornish College of the Arts, and The Art Institute of Seattle. And finally two other galleries will be involved; Form/Space Atelier, and Halogen Gallery. This show was put together in record time. Work started after a board meeting on September 20, when it was brought to the board's attention that no artists had rented the SubT Space for the month of November. As work progressed on the event, it became more about the entire arts community, and less about a show to fill an empty space in a building. Every member of Art /Not Terminal Gallery has become involved in this community effort, an effort to create a supportive environment for all artists; students, emerging artists, and well established long time arts professionals. Become a part of this historic evening at Art/Not Terminal Gallery, where cooperation is not just a word, but a way of life., _______________________________________________________, Contact:, Zachary Sofia, President, Art/Not Terminal Board of Directors, 206-588-2918, zacksofia@hotmail.com, Liz Sheets, Secretary, Art/Not Terminal Board of Directors, 206-409-1574, lizartseattle@mac.com

Level, Room: Level 1, Microsoft Auditorium

Summary: Jack Nisbet discusses his latest book, “The Collector: David Douglas and the Natural History of the Northwest.”
Full Description: Acclaimed author and historian Jack Nisbet turns his attention to the 19th century Scottish explorer and naturalist David Douglas in his new book, "The Collector: David Douglas and the Natural History of the Northwest." Douglas led a fascinating life that took him everywhere from New York to Hawaii, but he is best known for his groundbreaking observations of the Pacific Northwest. His discoveries include hundreds of western plants — most notably the Douglas Fir. Douglas’ detailed field notebooks and lively narrative sketches, along with extensive flora and fauna collections, provide baseline information about Pacific Northwest landscape and culture during the period of initial European contact. Nisbet weaves an evocative narrative that infuses excerpts from Douglas’ journals with descriptive historical information, inviting readers to travel alongside the early explorers., “...an exhilarating biography that provides an entertaining portrait of the unfettered determination that drove one of the giants in the field of botanical exploration and infused the young nation he viewed with a keen and zealous spirit.”, --Booklist, “We've long needed a modern biographer of naturalist David Douglas and who better to write it than Jack Nisbet, one of the Northwest's great storytellers....Nisbet has authored a narrative tapestry.”, --David Nicandri, Director of the Washington State Historical Society, This program is presented in partnership with The Elliott Bay Book Company. Books will be available for purchase and signing.

Formed in Akron, OH in 1974 as a multi-media experiment, DEVO caught the attention of such pop music luminaries as Iggy Pop, David Bowie, and Neil Young, whose support led to a recording contract with Warner Bros. Records. The label released the Brian Eno-produced Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! in 1978, followed by Duty Now for the Future in 1979. In 1980, DEVO released its commercial breakthrough album Freedom of Choice, which featured the timeless Top 20 hit “Whip It,” followed by 1981’s New Traditionalists, 1982’s Oh, No! It’s Devo, and 1984’s Shout, its last album for Warner Bros. Records. After releasing 1988’s Total Devo and 1990’s Smooth Noodle Mapson Enigma Records, the band went on hiatus.

Now original members Gerald Casale, Bob Casale, Mark Mothersbaugh, and Bob Mothersbaugh are back with drummer Josh Freese (Nine Inch Nails, Weezer, Guns N’ Roses).

They will perform Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! on November 8th and Freedom of Choice on November 9th.

The Moore Theatre

Seattle, WA 98101-1102
Monday, November 9, 2009, 7:30pm

Formed in Akron, OH in 1974 as a multi-media experiment, DEVO caught the attention of such pop music luminaries as Iggy Pop, David Bowie, and Neil Young, whose support led to a recording contract with Warner Bros. Records. The label released the Brian Eno-produced Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! in 1978, followed by Duty Now for the Future in 1979. In 1980, DEVO released its commercial breakthrough album Freedom of Choice, which featured the timeless Top 20 hit “Whip It,” followed by 1981’s New Traditionalists, 1982’s Oh, No! It’s Devo, and 1984’s Shout, its last album for Warner Bros. Records. After releasing 1988’s Total Devo and 1990’s Smooth Noodle Mapson Enigma Records, the band went on hiatus.

Now original members Gerald Casale, Bob Casale, Mark Mothersbaugh, and Bob Mothersbaugh are back with drummer Josh Freese (Nine Inch Nails, Weezer, Guns N’ Roses).

They will perform Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! on November 8th and Freedom of Choice on November 9th.

With special guest Friday:
No Age

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the release of their classic 1989 album Doolittle, the band - Black Francis, Kim Deal, Joey Santiago and David Lovering - will kick off the very special US "Doolittle Tour" in November. The U.S. tour will hit a total of nine cities, including two dates in Seattle.

On this tour, the Pixies will perform all of the songs from Doolittle and its related B-sides, "Weird at My School," "Dancing the Manta Ray," and "Bailey's Walk" among them. Doolittle, the band's third album and the first to chart on Billboard's album charts, includes classics such as "Debaser," "Wave of Mutilation," "Here Comes Your Man," "Hey," and "Gouge Away."

The Boston-formed Pixies have been acclaimed as the most influential pioneering band of the late 80s alt/rock movement. Their five studio releases and six years together effectively blazed the path for groups like Nirvana, Radiohead and Pearl Jam to rise to superstardom. They disbanded in 1993 and launched their reunion tour in April, 2004 when virtually every, single date sold out within minutes and fans traveled hundred of miles to attend a show. In post-Pixies years, Black Francis has enjoyed a successful solo career as Frank Black, Kim Deal went on to form the Platinum-selling band the Breeders, Joey Santiago started the band The Martinis and has carved a career as a music composer for film and TV, and David Lovering performs as a magician and continues to drum. The US "Doolittle Tour" will be the band's first American trek since 2005.

No Age

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the release of their classic 1989 album Doolittle, the band - Black Francis, Kim Deal, Joey Santiago and David Lovering - will kick off the very special US "Doolittle Tour" in November. The U.S. tour will hit a total of nine cities, including two dates in Seattle.

On this tour, the Pixies will perform all of the songs from Doolittle and its related B-sides, "Weird at My School," "Dancing the Manta Ray," and "Bailey's Walk" among them. Doolittle, the band's third album and the first to chart on Billboard's album charts, includes classics such as "Debaser," "Wave of Mutilation," "Here Comes Your Man," "Hey," and "Gouge Away."

The Boston-formed Pixies have been acclaimed as the most influential pioneering band of the late 80s alt/rock movement. Their five studio releases and six years together effectively blazed the path for groups like Nirvana, Radiohead and Pearl Jam to rise to superstardom. They disbanded in 1993 and launched their reunion tour in April, 2004 when virtually every, single date sold out within minutes and fans traveled hundred of miles to attend a show. In post-Pixies years, Black Francis has enjoyed a successful solo career as Frank Black, Kim Deal went on to form the Platinum-selling band the Breeders, Joey Santiago started the band The Martinis and has carved a career as a music composer for film and TV, and David Lovering performs as a magician and continues to drum. The US "Doolittle Tour" will be the band's first American trek since 2005.

NO LATE SEATING

I am Gregory Maqoma, an African dancer. I have plenty of exotic stories to sell. Which one would you like to hear tonight?

In his acclaimed solo performance, Beautiful Me, South African choreographer and dancer Gregory Maqoma looks deeply into his connections to history, humanity and nature. A dancer of mesmerizing precision balanced with lyrical warmth, Maqoma portrays his conversations with three master choreographers who have inspired him, and who contributed “minutes” of music, text and movement to Beautiful Me: Akram Khan’s Contemporary Kathak, Faustin Linyekula’s visual dance-theater, and Vincent Mantsoe’s Afro-Fusion. With live music by four exceptional players (on violin, cello, sitar and percussion), Beautiful Me speaks honestly about the difficult and profound task of finding one’s authentic voice.

Registration Details: Stone Soup Theatre Presents Durang 7 by Christpher Durang, Directed by Maureen Hawkins, Seven one-acts will lead you on a journey from comically outrageous to thought-provoking. Sex ed, politics and family dynamics are lampooned, while parodies of “A Streetcar Named Desire” (Desire, Desire, Desire) and “Medea” are given appropriate (or not so...) contemporary send-ups. A clear cure for the recession blues by the beloved, award-winning playwright of "Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You."

“All of the LGBTIQ community should lift our ears to receive Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha,” says Bent founder, Tara Hardy. “Her vision stands to rearrange the ways we approach community, creating art, and loving. Every time I’ve heard her read I’ve come away new.”

Bent’s unique Mentor Showcase has become a fall tradition in Seattle. Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, a queer Sri Lankan writer, teacher and performer joins a fabulous line up of Bent writers for this year’s annual Showcase. Piepzna-Samarasinha’s work explores the interconnection of systems of colonialism, abuse and violence. Bent is America's only writing institution for queers.

Tara Hardy has once again assembled the comic, the tragic, the downright magical and wildly diverse Bent writers who join Piepzna-Samarasinha on the Museum of History and Industry stage November 13th and 14th. The annual Showcase production is a wonderful opportunity to experience great writing before it hits national tours. Each of the Bent writers brings a unique voice, history and insight to the stage. Now in our 8th year, the showcase has grown from a class in Hardy's living room to become a highly anticipated and life-changing community event.

BENT: Bent Arts, a non-profit organization, is the only queer writing institute in the nation. The mission of Bent is to promote and encourage written and spoken word among LGBTIQ people and in our communities. The concept and work of Bent began August 2000, in the living room of Tara Hardy, Seattle-based writer, performer, and Slam Champ. Since, Bent has grown to a full institute, having served over 200 students, offering a variety of weekly classes and local and regional performances.

More information on Bent at www.bentwriting.com

MENTOR SHOWCASES: These annual spoken word showcases are a chance to see Bent students, whose works are generating much attention both locally and nationally, perform alongside a writer whose work they look up to and have chosen to honor. Moreover, they are a chance to bring underrepresented voices to our greater communities. The showcases are Bent's largest annual fundraiser. There have been six other sold-out showcases and workshops since June 2003, with standing-room-only crowds and growing student rolls. The last showcase was housed at Piggot Hall at Seattle University, met with two packed nights and critical acclaim. In these prior showcases, Bent has honored queer writers and mentors: Kate Bornstein, D. Blair, Dorothy Allison, Buddy Wakefield, Juba Kalamka, Justin Chin, Michelle Tea, Ivan Coyote, and Sini Anderson.

Falls Theatre at ACT
700 Union St
Seattle, WA 98101-2330
Saturday, November 14, 2009, 8pm

NO LATE SEATING

I am Gregory Maqoma, an African dancer. I have plenty of exotic stories to sell. Which one would you like to hear tonight?

In his acclaimed solo performance, Beautiful Me, South African choreographer and dancer Gregory Maqoma looks deeply into his connections to history, humanity and nature. A dancer of mesmerizing precision balanced with lyrical warmth, Maqoma portrays his conversations with three master choreographers who have inspired him, and who contributed “minutes” of music, text and movement to Beautiful Me: Akram Khan’s Contemporary Kathak, Faustin Linyekula’s visual dance-theater, and Vincent Mantsoe’s Afro-Fusion. With live music by four exceptional players (on violin, cello, sitar and percussion), Beautiful Me speaks honestly about the difficult and profound task of finding one’s authentic voice.

The true rebirth of the power trio is upon us. Wolfmother, consisting of three curly haired brothers in music is spreading the word of escapist explorations in rock to the world. Though, somehow, rock just doesn't seem to encompass the multi-layered anthropological dig that is Wolfmother.

The shrilling vocals of Andrew Stockdale are rhythmically dictated with the conviction of a preacher from the dark side of the moon; simultaneously enhanced by the ceremonial style keyboards and evil bass riffs of Chris Ross and then obliterated by Myles Heskett's drum patterns from Zion

No longer shall the complexities of life with its desperate flaws and triumphant moments of affirmation be mocked by a prosaic formulaic pop that has left us anxious and scared of our own inner demons. No - now is a time to get dirty and celebrate the all-encompassing chaos order theory that is Wolfmother.

Michael Tomlinson: Thanksgiving Concert

21 Nov 2009 04:00:00 GMT

Great Hall, enter on 8th Avenue
Friday, November 20, 2009, 8 – 10pm

In this season of gratitude, Seattle singer-songwriter Michael Tomlinson performs a concert in celebration of our local healing-arts community. Accompanied by the studio musicians who performed on his new release, The Way Out West, Tomlinson will perform acoustic-based songs from that CD, as well as earlier albums. Known for his friendly concerts, funny stories, and warm performances, Tomlinson writes and sings songs ranging from folk and pop to jazz and rock—all lyrically rich and uplifting. Wood & Steel has compared Tomlinson’s music to Bruce Cockburn, Danny O'Keefe, and David Wilcox, and longtime PI music critic Gene Stout calls his "clear, breezy tenor… strikingly beautiful.” A free preconcert reception begins at 7 pm.

Advance tickets are $25 at www.brownpapertickets.com or 800/838-3006, or at the door. For more information, visit www.michaeltomlinson.com/healers/index.htm.

Seattle, WA 98101-1102
Friday, November 20, 2009, 8pm

Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter and Erik Stolhanske, comprise the five-member filmmaking comedy group Broken Lizard.

The group began its feature film career with their award-winning debut Puddle Cruiser in 1996. They followed up with the independently-financed, cult-hit Super Troopers (Fox Searchlight), which premiered at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival and was released worldwide in February 2002. Besides earning $20 million at the box office, Super Troopers also found a massive audience in the home video market, selling over five million copies on DVD. They followed Super Troopers with yet another cult favorite, the horror-comedy Club Dread (Fox Searchlight) which was released in February of 2004.

Currently Broken Lizard is returning to their sketch comedy roots, embarking on a nationwide tour. Join all five members as they present stand-up, live sketches (including appearances by characters from Super Troopers and Beerfest), Improv, original films, and Q & A about their experiences creating and releasing all of their films including the upcoming The Slammin’ Salmon.
