“Bartell’s Community Food Drive” ongoing through June 1

All Bartell Drugs Locations in King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties
4025 Delridge Way SW
Seattle, WA 98106
Thursday, May 23, 2013

“Bartell’s Community Food Drive” supports Food Lifeline programs helping out-of-school children, families and senior citizens in need this summer, with all Bartell’s store locations accepting nonperishable food items and personal care items.

Ongoing now through June 1, the drive focuses on replenishing food bank stocks in King, Snohomish & Pierce counties during summer months--when families that normally depend on free or reduced-price school meals may struggle to provide healthy meals at home.

Some food item suggestions include tuna, instant oatmeal, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, jelly, cheese crackers, applesauce and canned fruit. Other suggested items include baby formula, diapers, baby food (boxes or plastic tubs only) and personal care items such as toothpaste, tooth brushes, tissues, shampoo and conditioner, soap and feminine hygiene products.

Our signature tour, devoted exclusively to coffee–the FIRST of its kind in Seattle, enjoyed by visitors from as far away as New Zealand and as nearby as next door. Seattle is home to the world’s largest concentration of coffee roasters (more than 70) and it’s the birthplace of the world’s dominant purveyor of coffee drinks.
Best of all, we will sample a variety of blends, roasts and brews at some of the city’s best-loved coffee houses. This tour is more than coffee…we walk through several different downtown districts and visit some of downtown’s most impressive towers, buildings and views.

The Pleasure of Pattern: An Informal Installation of Decorated Paper

Paper Hammer Gallery
1400 2nd Ave
Seattle, WA 98101
Thursday, May 23, 2013, 11am – 6pm

In May, Paper Hammer Gallery will be transformed into a giant paper sample book. Sheets of paper, from all over the world, will be on display in the gallery for the exhibition The Pleasure of Pattern. The paper belongs to Claudia Cohen, a bookbinder who has collected paper for more than thirty years and uses it to create covers, endsheets, and box linings. The paper dates from the nineteenth century to the present and exhibits a variety of techniques, including lithography, offset and block printing, marbling, stenciling, and paste paper. Cohen made the paste papers featured in the exhibition, and she often uses them in her work.

Cohen established her bindery in 1983 in Northampton, Massachusetts. In 2003 she moved to Seattle where she continues to make paste papers and bind limited edition and artists’ books. Past and present clients include Brighton Press, David R. Godine, Ecco Press, Grenfell Press, Heavenly Monkey Press, the Houghton Library, the Museum of Modern Art, the New York Public Library, Pennyroyal Press, and the Whitney Museum.

Join us for this astonishing exhibition of fine decorated papers. The Pleasure of Pattern will be the last show in the Paper Hammer Gallery before it is converted into retail space.

The First Thursday opening reception will be May 2nd, from 5 to 7 pm.

Gallery hours:
Mondays through Saturdays, 11 a.m.to 6 p.m.

Thursday, May 23, 2013, 7:30pm

Riding into town and looking for trouble starting May 2nd, Seattle’s “Bad-ass Dinner Theater” (Flavorpill) returns for its fourth Cocktail Series show. Café Nordo Presents: SMOKED! mixes stiff drinks and a daring five-course menu of Molecular Chuck Wagon to channel the Spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone and the oppression of Monsanto-style agribusiness with lawyers and lobbyists portrayed as gun-toting sociopathic thugs. Award-winning composer Annastasia Workman and the Café Nordo House Band invoke the musical spirit of Ennio Morricone in the stunning new Pioneer Square event venue The Kitchen by Delicatus. Hungry theater-goers are in for an evening of dirty dealings and heartsick cowboys where the only thing comforting is the food.

Bach at Leipzig

Bach at Leipzig
by Itamar Moses
May 17 – June 15
Previews may 15 & 16
Leipzig, 1722. Germany’s most renowned music director is dead at the keyboard. As the country’s greatest organists descend to vie for the job, melodies of rivalry, trickery and blackmail compose a fugue of plots and counterplots. Rooted in history but reveling in flights of fiction, Bach at Leipzig is deliciously scored with wild and witty revelations.

2nd Annual Money & Life | Toward a New Economic Imagination: a Convening of 21st Century Leaders

The Whidbey Institute
6449 Old Pietila Rd
Clinton, WA 98236
Friday, May 24, 2013

Turning crisis into opportunity – that's what leaders do. These days, that's what we all must do. None of the crucial transformations of our time can happen effectively without overcoming the fundamental dysfunction of 20th century economics. To achieve that, we need to work fast, smart, and wisely, and 21st century leaders don't lead alone.

We invite you to 2nd Money & Life at the Whidbey Institute, a diverse community of practice from various sectors including commerce, finance, activism and academia. This year's gathering will build upon the innovative and inspiring three-day event of June 2012, and take us further in strengthening the effectiveness of our leadership, whether we're forging the way for nation, industry, community, or household.

A socially and environmentally sustainable economy will take the work of millions of ordinary people taking extraordinary steps. What sustains one's ability to continually step out and forge ahead? We will explore this question, sharing case studies from our own lives and engaging in activities that cultivate some of the crucial aspects of adaptive leadership: Discernment, self-awareness, simultaneous contemplation and action, building alliances, and commitment for the long haul. And we'll have fun doing it!

The convening will be facilitated by Sharon Daloz Parks, principal of Leadership for the New Commons, and author of Leadership Can Be Taught: A Bold Approach for a Complex World, and Rose Hughes, a 25 year veteran of campaigns for economic justice, President of New Road Map Foundation, and Coordinator of Oikocredit NW, a member of the international financing cooperative Oikocredit.

Seattle, WA 98106
Friday, May 24, 2013

Some food item suggestions include tuna, instant oatmeal, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, jelly, cheese crackers, applesauce and canned fruit. Other suggested items include baby formula, diapers, baby food (boxes or plastic tubs only) and personal care items such as toothpaste, tooth brushes, tissues, shampoo and conditioner, soap and feminine hygiene products.

The Pleasure of Pattern: An Informal Installation of Decorated Paper

Paper Hammer Gallery
1400 2nd Ave
Seattle, WA 98101
Friday, May 24, 2013, 11am – 6pm

In May, Paper Hammer Gallery will be transformed into a giant paper sample book. Sheets of paper, from all over the world, will be on display in the gallery for the exhibition The Pleasure of Pattern. The paper belongs to Claudia Cohen, a bookbinder who has collected paper for more than thirty years and uses it to create covers, endsheets, and box linings. The paper dates from the nineteenth century to the present and exhibits a variety of techniques, including lithography, offset and block printing, marbling, stenciling, and paste paper. Cohen made the paste papers featured in the exhibition, and she often uses them in her work.

Cohen established her bindery in 1983 in Northampton, Massachusetts. In 2003 she moved to Seattle where she continues to make paste papers and bind limited edition and artists’ books. Past and present clients include Brighton Press, David R.

Bach at Leipzig

Seattle, WA 98103
Friday, May 24, 2013, 8pm

Bach at Leipzig
by Itamar Moses
May 17 – June 15
Previews may 15 & 16
Leipzig, 1722. Germany’s most renowned music director is dead at the keyboard. As the country’s greatest organists descend to vie for the job, melodies of rivalry, trickery and blackmail compose a fugue of plots and counterplots. Rooted in history but reveling in flights of fiction, Bach at Leipzig is deliciously scored with wild and witty revelations.

Riding into town and looking for trouble starting May 2nd, Seattle’s “Bad-ass Dinner Theater” (Flavorpill) returns for its fourth Cocktail Series show. Café Nordo Presents: SMOKED! mixes stiff drinks and a daring five-course menu of Molecular Chuck Wagon to channel the Spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone and the oppression of Monsanto-style agribusiness with lawyers and lobbyists portrayed as gun-toting sociopathic thugs. Award-winning composer Annastasia Workman and the Café Nordo House Band invoke the musical spirit of Ennio Morricone in the stunning new Pioneer Square event venue The Kitchen by Delicatus. Hungry theater-goers are in for an evening of dirty dealings and heartsick cowboys where the only thing comforting is the food.

2nd Annual Money & Life | Toward a New Economic Imagination: a Convening of 21st Century Leaders

The Whidbey Institute
6449 Old Pietila Rd
Clinton, WA 98236
Saturday, May 25, 2013

Turning crisis into opportunity – that's what leaders do. These days, that's what we all must do. None of the crucial transformations of our time can happen effectively without overcoming the fundamental dysfunction of 20th century economics. To achieve that, we need to work fast, smart, and wisely, and 21st century leaders don't lead alone.

We invite you to 2nd Money & Life at the Whidbey Institute, a diverse community of practice from various sectors including commerce, finance, activism and academia. This year's gathering will build upon the innovative and inspiring three-day event of June 2012, and take us further in strengthening the effectiveness of our leadership, whether we're forging the way for nation, industry, community, or household.

A socially and environmentally sustainable economy will take the work of millions of ordinary people taking extraordinary steps. What sustains one's ability to continually step out and forge ahead? We will explore this question, sharing case studies from our own lives and engaging in activities that cultivate some of the crucial aspects of adaptive leadership: Discernment, self-awareness, simultaneous contemplation and action, building alliances, and commitment for the long haul. And we'll have fun doing it!

The convening will be facilitated by Sharon Daloz Parks, principal of Leadership for the New Commons, and author of Leadership Can Be Taught: A Bold Approach for a Complex World, and Rose Hughes, a 25 year veteran of campaigns for economic justice, President of New Road Map Foundation, and Coordinator of Oikocredit NW, a member of the international financing cooperative Oikocredit.

The Pleasure of Pattern: An Informal Installation of Decorated Paper

Paper Hammer Gallery
1400 2nd Ave
Seattle, WA 98101
Saturday, May 25, 2013, 11am – 6pm

In May, Paper Hammer Gallery will be transformed into a giant paper sample book. Sheets of paper, from all over the world, will be on display in the gallery for the exhibition The Pleasure of Pattern. The paper belongs to Claudia Cohen, a bookbinder who has collected paper for more than thirty years and uses it to create covers, endsheets, and box linings. The paper dates from the nineteenth century to the present and exhibits a variety of techniques, including lithography, offset and block printing, marbling, stenciling, and paste paper. Cohen made the paste papers featured in the exhibition, and she often uses them in her work.

Cohen established her bindery in 1983 in Northampton, Massachusetts. In 2003 she moved to Seattle where she continues to make paste papers and bind limited edition and artists’ books. Past and present clients include Brighton Press, David R. Godine, Ecco Press, Grenfell Press, Heavenly Monkey Press, the Houghton Library, the Museum of Modern Art, the New York Public Library, Pennyroyal Press, and the Whitney Museum.

Join us for this astonishing exhibition of fine decorated papers. The Pleasure of Pattern will be the last show in the Paper Hammer Gallery before it is converted into retail space.

The First Thursday opening reception will be May 2nd, from 5 to 7 pm.

Gallery hours:
Mondays through Saturdays, 11 a.m.to 6 p.m.

Bach at Leipzig
by Itamar Moses
May 17 – June 15
Previews may 15 & 16
Leipzig, 1722. Germany’s most renowned music director is dead at the keyboard. As the country’s greatest organists descend to vie for the job, melodies of rivalry, trickery and blackmail compose a fugue of plots and counterplots. Rooted in history but reveling in flights of fiction, Bach at Leipzig is deliciously scored with wild and witty revelations.

Students and alumni of the Goddard College MFA in Creative Writing program present the fifth in a series of literary events. Join us for an evening of literature and friendship with live readings of fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and dramatic writing by students and alumni.

Featured Reader: Robert Lashley
Robert Lashley has been called "The Sweetest Scary Ass Brother You Will Ever Know". A semifinalist for the PEN/Rosenthal fellowship, Lashley often performs at Northwest poetry venues and has helped Bellingham, where he lives, develop one of the nation's finest open mic scenes. He does not, however, drink the blood of frat boys and rappers from Mercer Island (no matter what anybody in Tacoma tells you.). He has had poems published in such journals as Feminete, No Regrets, and Your Hands, Your Mouth. He is not, however, a fire breathing dragon. His poetry was also featured in "Many Trails To The Summit," an anthology of Northwest form and lyric poetry. His full length book, Songs My City Taught Me, was published by Radical Lunchbox Press in 2009. To repeat: Not a Dragon, and doesn’t drink anybody's blood.

An event for all ages and open to the public.

There will be a cash bar.

Admission is free.

There will be a merch table setup where authors may sling their wares.

Parking is available at Hugo House. Street parking is free around Cal Anderson Park after 6pm.

Riding into town and looking for trouble starting May 2nd, Seattle’s “Bad-ass Dinner Theater” (Flavorpill) returns for its fourth Cocktail Series show. Café Nordo Presents: SMOKED! mixes stiff drinks and a daring five-course menu of Molecular Chuck Wagon to channel the Spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone and the oppression of Monsanto-style agribusiness with lawyers and lobbyists portrayed as gun-toting sociopathic thugs. Award-winning composer Annastasia Workman and the Café Nordo House Band invoke the musical spirit of Ennio Morricone in the stunning new Pioneer Square event venue The Kitchen by Delicatus. Hungry theater-goers are in for an evening of dirty dealings and heartsick cowboys where the only thing comforting is the food.

2nd Annual Money & Life | Toward a New Economic Imagination: a Convening of 21st Century Leaders

The Whidbey Institute
6449 Old Pietila Rd
Clinton, WA 98236
Sunday, May 26, 2013

Turning crisis into opportunity – that's what leaders do. These days, that's what we all must do. None of the crucial transformations of our time can happen effectively without overcoming the fundamental dysfunction of 20th century economics. To achieve that, we need to work fast, smart, and wisely, and 21st century leaders don't lead alone.

We invite you to 2nd Money & Life at the Whidbey Institute, a diverse community of practice from various sectors including commerce, finance, activism and academia. This year's gathering will build upon the innovative and inspiring three-day event of June 2012, and take us further in strengthening the effectiveness of our leadership, whether we're forging the way for nation, industry, community, or household.

A socially and environmentally sustainable economy will take the work of millions of ordinary people taking extraordinary steps. What sustains one's ability to continually step out and forge ahead? We will explore this question, sharing case studies from our own lives and engaging in activities that cultivate some of the crucial aspects of adaptive leadership: Discernment, self-awareness, simultaneous contemplation and action, building alliances, and commitment for the long haul. And we'll have fun doing it!

The convening will be facilitated by Sharon Daloz Parks, principal of Leadership for the New Commons, and author of Leadership Can Be Taught: A Bold Approach for a Complex World, and Rose Hughes, a 25 year veteran of campaigns for economic justice, President of New Road Map Foundation, and Coordinator of Oikocredit NW, a member of the international financing cooperative Oikocredit.

Some food item suggestions include tuna, instant oatmeal, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, jelly, cheese crackers, applesauce and canned fruit. Other suggested items include baby formula, diapers, baby food (boxes or plastic tubs only) and personal care items such as toothpaste, tooth brushes, tissues, shampoo and conditioner, soap and feminine hygiene products.

The Pleasure of Pattern: An Informal Installation of Decorated Paper

Paper Hammer Gallery
1400 2nd Ave
Seattle, WA 98101
Sunday, May 26, 2013, 11am – 6pm

In May, Paper Hammer Gallery will be transformed into a giant paper sample book. Sheets of paper, from all over the world, will be on display in the gallery for the exhibition The Pleasure of Pattern. The paper belongs to Claudia Cohen, a bookbinder who has collected paper for more than thirty years and uses it to create covers, endsheets, and box linings. The paper dates from the nineteenth century to the present and exhibits a variety of techniques, including lithography, offset and block printing, marbling, stenciling, and paste paper. Cohen made the paste papers featured in the exhibition, and she often uses them in her work.

Cohen established her bindery in 1983 in Northampton, Massachusetts. In 2003 she moved to Seattle where she continues to make paste papers and bind limited edition and artists’ books. Past and present clients include Brighton Press, David R. Godine, Ecco Press, Grenfell Press, Heavenly Monkey Press, the Houghton Library, the Museum of Modern Art, the New York Public Library, Pennyroyal Press, and the Whitney Museum.

Join us for this astonishing exhibition of fine decorated papers. The Pleasure of Pattern will be the last show in the Paper Hammer Gallery before it is converted into retail space.

The First Thursday opening reception will be May 2nd, from 5 to 7 pm.

Mondays through Saturdays, 11 a.m.to 6 p.m.

The Mountaineers Players present Narnia
at the magical Kitsap Forest Theater in Bremerton

3000 Seabeck Hwy., Bremerton, WA 98312

May 26-27, June 1-2, 8-9, 15-16; 2013 – 2:00 pm

Contact: 206-542-7815, players@foresttheater.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BREMERTON, WA – The tradition of outdoor theater is alive and well at the Kitsap Forest Theater, and continues this spring with Narnia (The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe). Each weekend from Memorial Day through Father’s Day, the Mountaineers Players will present this classic adventure with music, dance and exciting battles at 2:00 pm. Both residents of the Kitsap Peninsula and visitors from Seattle and beyond will delight in this family-friendly production at the beautiful Kitsap Forest Theater, located just west of Bremerton.

A quarter-mile trail transports visitors to another time and place where stories for all ages have come to life since 1923. The presentation of our spring show coincides with the blooming of the wild rhododendrons that grow along the hillsides and down the trail to the theater. Generations of theatergoers have enjoyed the scenic drive or ferry ride to the theater, and often come early to picnic under the firs before the trail to the theater opens at 1:00 pm.

With Narnia in the spring and The Secret Garden in the summer, the Kitsap Forest Theater’s 2013 season will weave classic stories with music and dance – taking them from the page to the stage in two delightful productions that will appeal to young and old alike.

Narnia: We invite you to embark on a musical adventure as the first and most famous story of The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis comes to life on our unique stage. Join us in this enchanted world filled with creatures and spirits of myth and fable, both good and evil. The principal inhabitants of this magical kingdom are the intelligent talking animals ruled by the majestic King Aslan, the great lion of Narnia. Entering Narnia at a moment of high adventure are four children – plucked from our world in unexpected ways to help and to learn from their Narnia odyssey lessons of courage, unselfishness and wisdom. From the excitement of the opening song, “Aslan’s on the Move,” to the joy of “Narnia (You Can’t Imagine),” your spirits will soar with all those in Narnia.

About Kitsap Forest Theater: A treasured family tradition in the greater Seattle arts community since 1923, The Mountaineers Players continues to bring Puget Sound audiences quality outdoor theater under the conifer canopy of its Kitsap Forest Theater every spring and summer. One of the oldest nonprofit theater groups in the country, the Players troupe performs on the 460-acre Rhododendron Preserve near Bremerton. Giant fir trees surround terraced seating – carved from the side of a natural amphitheater – while verdant ferns serve as the “footlights” for the performance stage.

Café Nordo Presents: SMOKED! mixes stiff drinks and a daring five-course menu of Molecular Chuck Wagon to channel the Spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone and the oppression of Monsanto-style agribusiness with lawyers and lobbyists portrayed as gun-toting sociopathic thugs. Award-winning composer Annastasia Workman and the Café Nordo House Band invoke the musical spirit of Ennio Morricone in the stunning new Pioneer Square event venue The Kitchen by Delicatus. Hungry theater-goers are in for an evening of dirty dealings and heartsick cowboys where the only thing comforting is the food.

The Pleasure of Pattern: An Informal Installation of Decorated Paper

Paper Hammer Gallery
1400 2nd Ave
Seattle, WA 98101
Monday, May 27, 2013, 11am – 6pm

In May, Paper Hammer Gallery will be transformed into a giant paper sample book. Sheets of paper, from all over the world, will be on display in the gallery for the exhibition The Pleasure of Pattern. The paper belongs to Claudia Cohen, a bookbinder who has collected paper for more than thirty years and uses it to create covers, endsheets, and box linings. The paper dates from the nineteenth century to the present and exhibits a variety of techniques, including lithography, offset and block printing, marbling, stenciling, and paste paper. Cohen made the paste papers featured in the exhibition, and she often uses them in her work.

Cohen established her bindery in 1983 in Northampton, Massachusetts. In 2003 she moved to Seattle where she continues to make paste papers and bind limited edition and artists’ books. Past and present clients include Brighton Press, David R. Godine, Ecco Press, Grenfell Press, Heavenly Monkey Press, the Houghton Library, the Museum of Modern Art, the New York Public Library, Pennyroyal Press, and the Whitney Museum.

Join us for this astonishing exhibition of fine decorated papers. The Pleasure of Pattern will be the last show in the Paper Hammer Gallery before it is converted into retail space.

The First Thursday opening reception will be May 2nd, from 5 to 7 pm.

Gallery hours:
Mondays through Saturdays, 11 a.m.to 6 p.m.

The Pleasure of Pattern: An Informal Installation of Decorated Paper

Paper Hammer Gallery
1400 2nd Ave
Seattle, WA 98101
Tuesday, May 28, 2013, 11am – 6pm

In May, Paper Hammer Gallery will be transformed into a giant paper sample book. Sheets of paper, from all over the world, will be on display in the gallery for the exhibition The Pleasure of Pattern. The paper belongs to Claudia Cohen, a bookbinder who has collected paper for more than thirty years and uses it to create covers, endsheets, and box linings. The paper dates from the nineteenth century to the present and exhibits a variety of techniques, including lithography, offset and block printing, marbling, stenciling, and paste paper. Cohen made the paste papers featured in the exhibition, and she often uses them in her work.

Cohen established her bindery in 1983 in Northampton, Massachusetts. In 2003 she moved to Seattle where she continues to make paste papers and bind limited edition and artists’ books. Past and present clients include Brighton Press, David R. Godine, Ecco Press, Grenfell Press, Heavenly Monkey Press, the Houghton Library, the Museum of Modern Art, the New York Public Library, Pennyroyal Press, and the Whitney Museum.

Join us for this astonishing exhibition of fine decorated papers. The Pleasure of Pattern will be the last show in the Paper Hammer Gallery before it is converted into retail space.

The First Thursday opening reception will be May 2nd, from 5 to 7 pm.

Gallery hours:
Mondays through Saturdays, 11 a.m.to 6 p.m.

“Bartell’s Community Food Drive” ongoing through June 1

All Bartell Drugs Locations in King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties
4025 Delridge Way SW
Seattle, WA 98106
Wednesday, May 29, 2013

“Bartell’s Community Food Drive” supports Food Lifeline programs helping out-of-school children, families and senior citizens in need this summer, with all Bartell’s store locations accepting nonperishable food items and personal care items.

Ongoing now through June 1, the drive focuses on replenishing food bank stocks in King, Snohomish & Pierce counties during summer months--when families that normally depend on free or reduced-price school meals may struggle to provide healthy meals at home.

Some food item suggestions include tuna, instant oatmeal, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, jelly, cheese crackers, applesauce and canned fruit. Other suggested items include baby formula, diapers, baby food (boxes or plastic tubs only) and personal care items such as toothpaste, tooth brushes, tissues, shampoo and conditioner, soap and feminine hygiene products.

The Pleasure of Pattern: An Informal Installation of Decorated Paper

Paper Hammer Gallery
1400 2nd Ave
Seattle, WA 98101
Wednesday, May 29, 2013, 11am – 6pm

In May, Paper Hammer Gallery will be transformed into a giant paper sample book. Sheets of paper, from all over the world, will be on display in the gallery for the exhibition The Pleasure of Pattern. The paper belongs to Claudia Cohen, a bookbinder who has collected paper for more than thirty years and uses it to create covers, endsheets, and box linings. The paper dates from the nineteenth century to the present and exhibits a variety of techniques, including lithography, offset and block printing, marbling, stenciling, and paste paper. Cohen made the paste papers featured in the exhibition, and she often uses them in her work.

Cohen established her bindery in 1983 in Northampton, Massachusetts. In 2003 she moved to Seattle where she continues to make paste papers and bind limited edition and artists’ books. Past and present clients include Brighton Press, David R. Godine, Ecco Press, Grenfell Press, Heavenly Monkey Press, the Houghton Library, the Museum of Modern Art, the New York Public Library, Pennyroyal Press, and the Whitney Museum.

Join us for this astonishing exhibition of fine decorated papers. The Pleasure of Pattern will be the last show in the Paper Hammer Gallery before it is converted into retail space.

The First Thursday opening reception will be May 2nd, from 5 to 7 pm.

Bach at Leipzig

Bach at Leipzig
by Itamar Moses
May 17 – June 15
Previews may 15 & 16
Leipzig, 1722. Germany’s most renowned music director is dead at the keyboard. As the country’s greatest organists descend to vie for the job, melodies of rivalry, trickery and blackmail compose a fugue of plots and counterplots. Rooted in history but reveling in flights of fiction, Bach at Leipzig is deliciously scored with wild and witty revelations.

“Bartell’s Community Food Drive” ongoing through June 1

All Bartell Drugs Locations in King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties
4025 Delridge Way SW
Seattle, WA 98106
Thursday, May 30, 2013

“Bartell’s Community Food Drive” supports Food Lifeline programs helping out-of-school children, families and senior citizens in need this summer, with all Bartell’s store locations accepting nonperishable food items and personal care items.

Ongoing now through June 1, the drive focuses on replenishing food bank stocks in King, Snohomish & Pierce counties during summer months--when families that normally depend on free or reduced-price school meals may struggle to provide healthy meals at home.

Some food item suggestions include tuna, instant oatmeal, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, jelly, cheese crackers, applesauce and canned fruit. Other suggested items include baby formula, diapers, baby food (boxes or plastic tubs only) and personal care items such as toothpaste, tooth brushes, tissues, shampoo and conditioner, soap and feminine hygiene products.

The Pleasure of Pattern: An Informal Installation of Decorated Paper

Paper Hammer Gallery
1400 2nd Ave
Seattle, WA 98101
Thursday, May 30, 2013, 11am – 6pm

In May, Paper Hammer Gallery will be transformed into a giant paper sample book. Sheets of paper, from all over the world, will be on display in the gallery for the exhibition The Pleasure of Pattern. The paper belongs to Claudia Cohen, a bookbinder who has collected paper for more than thirty years and uses it to create covers, endsheets, and box linings. The paper dates from the nineteenth century to the present and exhibits a variety of techniques, including lithography, offset and block printing, marbling, stenciling, and paste paper. Cohen made the paste papers featured in the exhibition, and she often uses them in her work.

Cohen established her bindery in 1983 in Northampton, Massachusetts. In 2003 she moved to Seattle where she continues to make paste papers and bind limited edition and artists’ books. Past and present clients include Brighton Press, David R. Godine, Ecco Press, Grenfell Press, Heavenly Monkey Press, the Houghton Library, the Museum of Modern Art, the New York Public Library, Pennyroyal Press, and the Whitney Museum.

Join us for this astonishing exhibition of fine decorated papers. The Pleasure of Pattern will be the last show in the Paper Hammer Gallery before it is converted into retail space.

The First Thursday opening reception will be May 2nd, from 5 to 7 pm.

Mondays through Saturdays, 11 a.m.to 6 p.m.

Cafe Nordo presents: SMOKED!

The Kitchen by Delicatus
309 1st Ave S
Seattle, WA 98104
Thursday, May 30, 2013, 7:30pm

Riding into town and looking for trouble starting May 2nd, Seattle’s “Bad-ass Dinner Theater” (Flavorpill) returns for its fourth Cocktail Series show. Café Nordo Presents: SMOKED! mixes stiff drinks and a daring five-course menu of Molecular Chuck Wagon to channel the Spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone and the oppression of Monsanto-style agribusiness with lawyers and lobbyists portrayed as gun-toting sociopathic thugs. Award-winning composer Annastasia Workman and the Café Nordo House Band invoke the musical spirit of Ennio Morricone in the stunning new Pioneer Square event venue The Kitchen by Delicatus. Hungry theater-goers are in for an evening of dirty dealings and heartsick cowboys where the only thing comforting is the food.

Bach at Leipzig

Bach at Leipzig
by Itamar Moses
May 17 – June 15
Previews may 15 & 16
Leipzig, 1722. Germany’s most renowned music director is dead at the keyboard. As the country’s greatest organists descend to vie for the job, melodies of rivalry, trickery and blackmail compose a fugue of plots and counterplots. Rooted in history but reveling in flights of fiction, Bach at Leipzig is deliciously scored with wild and witty revelations.

Some food item suggestions include tuna, instant oatmeal, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, jelly, cheese crackers, applesauce and canned fruit. Other suggested items include baby formula, diapers, baby food (boxes or plastic tubs only) and personal care items such as toothpaste, tooth brushes, tissues, shampoo and conditioner, soap and feminine hygiene products.

The Pleasure of Pattern: An Informal Installation of Decorated Paper

Paper Hammer Gallery
1400 2nd Ave
Seattle, WA 98101
Friday, May 31, 2013, 11am – 6pm

In May, Paper Hammer Gallery will be transformed into a giant paper sample book. Sheets of paper, from all over the world, will be on display in the gallery for the exhibition The Pleasure of Pattern. The paper belongs to Claudia Cohen, a bookbinder who has collected paper for more than thirty years and uses it to create covers, endsheets, and box linings. The paper dates from the nineteenth century to the present and exhibits a variety of techniques, including lithography, offset and block printing, marbling, stenciling, and paste paper. Cohen made the paste papers featured in the exhibition, and she often uses them in her work.

Cohen established her bindery in 1983 in Northampton, Massachusetts. In 2003 she moved to Seattle where she continues to make paste papers and bind limited edition and artists’ books. Past and present clients include Brighton Press, David R. Godine, Ecco Press, Grenfell Press, Heavenly Monkey Press, the Houghton Library, the Museum of Modern Art, the New York Public Library, Pennyroyal Press, and the Whitney Museum.

Join us for this astonishing exhibition of fine decorated papers. The Pleasure of Pattern will be the last show in the Paper Hammer Gallery before it is converted into retail space.

The First Thursday opening reception will be May 2nd, from 5 to 7 pm.

Bach at Leipzig

Bach at Leipzig
by Itamar Moses
May 17 – June 15
Previews may 15 & 16
Leipzig, 1722. Germany’s most renowned music director is dead at the keyboard. As the country’s greatest organists descend to vie for the job, melodies of rivalry, trickery and blackmail compose a fugue of plots and counterplots. Rooted in history but reveling in flights of fiction, Bach at Leipzig is deliciously scored with wild and witty revelations.

Riding into town and looking for trouble starting May 2nd, Seattle’s “Bad-ass Dinner Theater” (Flavorpill) returns for its fourth Cocktail Series show. Café Nordo Presents: SMOKED! mixes stiff drinks and a daring five-course menu of Molecular Chuck Wagon to channel the Spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone and the oppression of Monsanto-style agribusiness with lawyers and lobbyists portrayed as gun-toting sociopathic thugs. Award-winning composer Annastasia Workman and the Café Nordo House Band invoke the musical spirit of Ennio Morricone in the stunning new Pioneer Square event venue The Kitchen by Delicatus. Hungry theater-goers are in for an evening of dirty dealings and heartsick cowboys where the only thing comforting is the food.

“Bartell’s Community Food Drive” ongoing through June 1

4025 Delridge Way SW
Seattle, WA 98106
Saturday, June 1, 2013

“Bartell’s Community Food Drive” supports Food Lifeline programs helping out-of-school children, families and senior citizens in need this summer, with all Bartell’s store locations accepting nonperishable food items and personal care items.

Ongoing now through June 1, the drive focuses on replenishing food bank stocks in King, Snohomish & Pierce counties during summer months--when families that normally depend on free or reduced-price school meals may struggle to provide healthy meals at home.

Some food item suggestions include tuna, instant oatmeal, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, jelly, cheese crackers, applesauce and canned fruit. Other suggested items include baby formula, diapers, baby food (boxes or plastic tubs only) and personal care items such as toothpaste, tooth brushes, tissues, shampoo and conditioner, soap and feminine hygiene products.

Because I Said So!

9600 College Way N
Seattle, WA 98103
Saturday, June 1, 2013, 8:30am – 1pm

CULTIVATE THE CONNECTIONS YOUR CHILDREN NEED TO ACCEPT NOT GETTING THEIR WAY
Children need their care-givers’ support to navigate the full range of their feelings. Contrary to popular culture, looking for our children’s buy-in using a negotiating approach is not only draining and exhausting for care-givers, it’s also not what our children need developmentally. Despite the discomfort—theirs and ours—our children need to feel sadness and disappointment to build resiliency and to mature.

In this presentation, Cindy will discuss how to become the parents that our children need. She’ll talk about how to simultaneously be an agent of futility, setting boundaries and saying “no,” and an angel of comfort, offering compassion for their upset feelings.

In this presentation you will discover:
* Find out how to reclaim your dignity and power to parent.
* Understand the critical role sadness and tears play in your child’s development.
* Learn how to help your child accept no for an answer.
* Discover the keys to reducing your child’s aggression.
* Avoid getting stuck in what doesn’t work.
* Know when and how to address problem behaviors.

Zoom Symposium: Objects of Desire

Bellevue Arts Museum
510 Bellevue Way NE
Bellevue, WA 98004
Saturday, June 1, 2013, 10am – 4pm

Join BAM celebrate the legendary contributions of photographers Marirosa Toscani Ballo and Oliviero Toscani. This exclusive symposium draws on the design principles and branding initiatives that have made these siblings synonymous with Italian design. Marirosa Toscani Ballo, along with her late husband Aldo Ballo (featured in the BAM exhibit "Zoom. Italian Design and the Photography of Aldo and Marirosa Ballo"), played a pivotal role in securing worldwide appreciation and recognition for Italian design. There was hardly a design icon from the second half of the 20th century that was not photographed in their Milan studio. Oliviero Toscani is the creative force behind some of the world’s most successful brands including Esprit and Chanel. His controversial advertising campaign from 1990 - 2000 for the Italian clothing company United Colors of Benetton created global recognition for the brand and a public debate about the social issues expressed in the ads.

Bach at Leipzig

Bach at Leipzig
by Itamar Moses
May 17 – June 15
Previews may 15 & 16
Leipzig, 1722. Germany’s most renowned music director is dead at the keyboard. As the country’s greatest organists descend to vie for the job, melodies of rivalry, trickery and blackmail compose a fugue of plots and counterplots. Rooted in history but reveling in flights of fiction, Bach at Leipzig is deliciously scored with wild and witty revelations.

The Mountaineers Players present Narnia
at the magical Kitsap Forest Theater in Bremerton

3000 Seabeck Hwy., Bremerton, WA 98312

May 26-27, June 1-2, 8-9, 15-16; 2013 – 2:00 pm

Contact: 206-542-7815, players@foresttheater.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BREMERTON, WA – The tradition of outdoor theater is alive and well at the Kitsap Forest Theater, and continues this spring with Narnia (The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe). Each weekend from Memorial Day through Father’s Day, the Mountaineers Players will present this classic adventure with music, dance and exciting battles at 2:00 pm. Both residents of the Kitsap Peninsula and visitors from Seattle and beyond will delight in this family-friendly production at the beautiful Kitsap Forest Theater, located just west of Bremerton.

A quarter-mile trail transports visitors to another time and place where stories for all ages have come to life since 1923. The presentation of our spring show coincides with the blooming of the wild rhododendrons that grow along the hillsides and down the trail to the theater. Generations of theatergoers have enjoyed the scenic drive or ferry ride to the theater, and often come early to picnic under the firs before the trail to the theater opens at 1:00 pm.

With Narnia in the spring and The Secret Garden in the summer, the Kitsap Forest Theater’s 2013 season will weave classic stories with music and dance – taking them from the page to the stage in two delightful productions that will appeal to young and old alike.

Narnia: We invite you to embark on a musical adventure as the first and most famous story of The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis comes to life on our unique stage. Join us in this enchanted world filled with creatures and spirits of myth and fable, both good and evil. The principal inhabitants of this magical kingdom are the intelligent talking animals ruled by the majestic King Aslan, the great lion of Narnia. Entering Narnia at a moment of high adventure are four children – plucked from our world in unexpected ways to help and to learn from their Narnia odyssey lessons of courage, unselfishness and wisdom. From the excitement of the opening song, “Aslan’s on the Move,” to the joy of “Narnia (You Can’t Imagine),” your spirits will soar with all those in Narnia.

About Kitsap Forest Theater: A treasured family tradition in the greater Seattle arts community since 1923, The Mountaineers Players continues to bring Puget Sound audiences quality outdoor theater under the conifer canopy of its Kitsap Forest Theater every spring and summer. One of the oldest nonprofit theater groups in the country, the Players troupe performs on the 460-acre Rhododendron Preserve near Bremerton. Giant fir trees surround terraced seating – carved from the side of a natural amphitheater – while verdant ferns serve as the “footlights” for the performance stage.

O Seattle... we've tried and tried to get Vicci Martinez at our parties
but to no avail. We've got the next best thing, though. We're having a
CD release party and we'll be handing out 10 full length CDs of Vicci's
music!

Not sure of how you'll have to 'earn' your CD but we'll leave it to our
awesome team of go-go's to figure that out!

"COME ALONG" is the shimmering and soulful first single from her
full-length album for REPUBLIC RECORDS and features CEE LO GREEN.
Over a bluesy guitar twang, VIcci's smoky delivery rises as she
trades verses with her former "VOICE" coach CEE LO GREEN. The tune is
an immediately recognizable anthem that illuminates her vocal prowess.
Check out the empowering music video for "Come Along" at

Seattle Peace Chorus performs Canto General

Town Hall
1119 8th Ave
Seattle, WA 98101
Saturday, June 1, 2013, 7:30 – 9:30pm

SEATTLE PEACE CHORUS PERFORMS CANTO GENERAL,A MONUMENTAL CHORAL WORK featuring PABLO NERUDA’S POETRY WITH MUSIC BY MIKIS THEODORAKIS

PERFORMANCE DATES:
• June 1, 7:30 p.m. -- Town Hall
• June 8, 7:30 p.m. -- Canto@Cleveland, Cleveland High School
• August 2013 – Santiago, Chile (on tour)

Seattle Peace Chorus will perform Canto General, a monumental choral work and musical collaboration between Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda and Mikis Theodorakis, one of Greece’s foremost music composers, who set Neruda’s poetry to music.

Canto General (the general song) is the 342 epic poems for which Pablo Neruda received the Nobel Prize in literature. Mikis Theodorakis composed the music for a set of 12 poems and dedicated his life to producing the piece. 2013 marks the 40th anniversary of Pinochet’s coup in 1973 (and the death of Neruda shortly thereafter), and the 20th anniversary of Canto General’s Chilean premiere.

Director Fred West is one of only three musical directors in the U.S. to conduct the piece and the known expert on it. West is the musical director for the Seattle Peace Chorus, the City Cantabile Choir and the Shoreline Unitarian Universalist Church choir.
WHY :
Neruda’s 1949 escape from Chile was legendary-- crossing the Patagonian mountains into Argentina on horseback as a political outlaw. He carried only a bottle of rye whiskey, his portable typewriter and the manuscript of “Canto General.”

Mikis Theodorakis, when exiled from Greece during the dictatorship of the Colonels (l967-l974), visited Chile as a guest of President Salvador Allende and, upon learning of Neruda’s work, vowed to put some poems to music. However, the composer of “Zorba the Greek,” “Z”, “State of Siege,” and “Serpico” was unable to premier the work in Chile until l993, when democracy was restored. Columbian novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquis called Neruda “the greatest poet of the 20th century in any language.”

Bach at Leipzig

Bach at Leipzig
by Itamar Moses
May 17 – June 15
Previews may 15 & 16
Leipzig, 1722. Germany’s most renowned music director is dead at the keyboard. As the country’s greatest organists descend to vie for the job, melodies of rivalry, trickery and blackmail compose a fugue of plots and counterplots. Rooted in history but reveling in flights of fiction, Bach at Leipzig is deliciously scored with wild and witty revelations.

Riding into town and looking for trouble starting May 2nd, Seattle’s “Bad-ass Dinner Theater” (Flavorpill) returns for its fourth Cocktail Series show. Café Nordo Presents: SMOKED! mixes stiff drinks and a daring five-course menu of Molecular Chuck Wagon to channel the Spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone and the oppression of Monsanto-style agribusiness with lawyers and lobbyists portrayed as gun-toting sociopathic thugs. Award-winning composer Annastasia Workman and the Café Nordo House Band invoke the musical spirit of Ennio Morricone in the stunning new Pioneer Square event venue The Kitchen by Delicatus. Hungry theater-goers are in for an evening of dirty dealings and heartsick cowboys where the only thing comforting is the food.

Contact: 206-542-7815, players@foresttheater.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BREMERTON, WA – The tradition of outdoor theater is alive and well at the Kitsap Forest Theater, and continues this spring with Narnia (The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe). Each weekend from Memorial Day through Father’s Day, the Mountaineers Players will present this classic adventure with music, dance and exciting battles at 2:00 pm. Both residents of the Kitsap Peninsula and visitors from Seattle and beyond will delight in this family-friendly production at the beautiful Kitsap Forest Theater, located just west of Bremerton.

A quarter-mile trail transports visitors to another time and place where stories for all ages have come to life since 1923. The presentation of our spring show coincides with the blooming of the wild rhododendrons that grow along the hillsides and down the trail to the theater. Generations of theatergoers have enjoyed the scenic drive or ferry ride to the theater, and often come early to picnic under the firs before the trail to the theater opens at 1:00 pm.

With Narnia in the spring and The Secret Garden in the summer, the Kitsap Forest Theater’s 2013 season will weave classic stories with music and dance – taking them from the page to the stage in two delightful productions that will appeal to young and old alike.

Narnia: We invite you to embark on a musical adventure as the first and most famous story of The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis comes to life on our unique stage. Join us in this enchanted world filled with creatures and spirits of myth and fable, both good and evil. The principal inhabitants of this magical kingdom are the intelligent talking animals ruled by the majestic King Aslan, the great lion of Narnia. Entering Narnia at a moment of high adventure are four children – plucked from our world in unexpected ways to help and to learn from their Narnia odyssey lessons of courage, unselfishness and wisdom. From the excitement of the opening song, “Aslan’s on the Move,” to the joy of “Narnia (You Can’t Imagine),” your spirits will soar with all those in Narnia.

About Kitsap Forest Theater: A treasured family tradition in the greater Seattle arts community since 1923, The Mountaineers Players continues to bring Puget Sound audiences quality outdoor theater under the conifer canopy of its Kitsap Forest Theater every spring and summer. One of the oldest nonprofit theater groups in the country, the Players troupe performs on the 460-acre Rhododendron Preserve near Bremerton. Giant fir trees surround terraced seating – carved from the side of a natural amphitheater – while verdant ferns serve as the “footlights” for the performance stage.

Riding into town and looking for trouble starting May 2nd, Seattle’s “Bad-ass Dinner Theater” (Flavorpill) returns for its fourth Cocktail Series show. Café Nordo Presents: SMOKED! mixes stiff drinks and a daring five-course menu of Molecular Chuck Wagon to channel the Spaghetti Westerns of Sergio Leone and the oppression of Monsanto-style agribusiness with lawyers and lobbyists portrayed as gun-toting sociopathic thugs. Award-winning composer Annastasia Workman and the Café Nordo House Band invoke the musical spirit of Ennio Morricone in the stunning new Pioneer Square event venue The Kitchen by Delicatus. Hungry theater-goers are in for an evening of dirty dealings and heartsick cowboys where the only thing comforting is the food.

Washington state is in the vanguard nationally in building our state’s healthcare exchange. But costs are significant, time is short and many questions remain: What choices will local businesses face with the implementation of health care reform? What can we learn from Massachusetts’ reform efforts in 2006? How can the business community deal with health care reform proactively and provide transparency to employees? Join us as we bring together business leaders and policy experts from Washington and Massachusetts to learn what’s happening on the ground in our state and how the Massachusetts experience can inform implementation of the Affordable Care Act in Puget Sound.

WHO: Seattle Sounders FC midfielder Mario Martinez and forward David Estrada, along with representatives from SUBWAY® restaurants of Seattle and over 300 local youth.

WHAT: Sounders FC players will share training, fitness and nutrition tips with local youth and their families. Families will be led through a series of interactive exercises including soccer drills, basketball, jump rope and Zumba. SUBWAY® restaurants will provide sandwiches and Sounders FC prizes to families in attendance.

In a recent report from Trust for America’s Health titled F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America’s Future 2012, studies forecast for the first time what obesity rates will look like in Washington State by the year 2030. According to the data, 26.5 percent of adults are currently obese, while obesity rates are projected to reach 55.5 percent of the state population by 2030.

Children have become heavier as well. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the prevalence of obesity has more than doubled in children and tripled in adolescents in the past 30 years. Recent statistics indicate more than one third of children and adolescents are overweight or obese.

The F as in Fat study shows that Washington State could prevent obesity-related diseases and dramatically reduce health care costs by encouraging residents to decrease their average body mass index by five percent.

“The best way to stay healthy is through exercise and choosing the right foods to feed your body,” says Sounders FC forward David Estrada. “We get to share our own fitness tips and healthy snack ideas at these Family Fitness Nights. It’s a great way to connect with local families and encourage them to choose healthier lifestyles.”

SUBWAY® restaurants of Seattle continues to partner with Seattle Sounders FC to provide fitness and health programming in the Seattle/Tacoma area. These two organizations joined forces to reach more than 1,000 students and their family members last year.

Brandy is the city’s most sought-after birthday party clown, and she’s never let her drinking, gambling, and bed-hopping interfere with her work—until now.

Bach at Leipzig
by Itamar Moses
May 17 – June 15
Previews may 15 & 16
Leipzig, 1722. Germany’s most renowned music director is dead at the keyboard. As the country’s greatest organists descend to vie for the job, melodies of rivalry, trickery and blackmail compose a fugue of plots and counterplots. Rooted in history but reveling in flights of fiction, Bach at Leipzig is deliciously scored with wild and witty revelations.

Managing Environmental Data with Microsoft Access 2010

Portland, OR
Thursday, June 6, 2013

This is the second course in a 2-part series Managing Environmental Data with Microsoft Access 2010 (COMP-401 and 402). In the first class, COMP-401, students learn the basic elements of constructing queries, forms, macros and reports. In this portion, they will build on those skills by creating end-user application examples that bring the newly learned elements together. Access analytic tools, PivotCharts, and PivotTables will be introduced, and an SQL primer will be included. This course is separate from COMP-401 so that students may take it at a later date if they do not have flexibility in their schedule, however we highly recommend that the two courses be taken together. COMP-402 is not meant to be taken as a stand-alone class without first taking COMP-401.

After completing this course, participants will be able to:

Apply complex query functions to databases
Create and design pivot charts and pivot tables
Perform complex queries using multiple tables
Create tools for forms and reports
Build multi-step macros for automating tasks

Thursday, June 6, 2013, 10am – 12:30pm

Our signature tour, devoted exclusively to coffee–the FIRST of its kind in Seattle, enjoyed by visitors from as far away as New Zealand and as nearby as next door. Seattle is home to the world’s largest concentration of coffee roasters (more than 70) and it’s the birthplace of the world’s dominant purveyor of coffee drinks.
Best of all, we will sample a variety of blends, roasts and brews at some of the city’s best-loved coffee houses. This tour is more than coffee…we walk through several different downtown districts and visit some of downtown’s most impressive towers, buildings and views.

The Topography of Cracks: Work by Libby L. Gerber

Paper Hammer
1400 2nd Ave
Seattle, WA 98101
Thursday, June 6, 2013, 11am – 6pm

Starting in June, our Paper Hammer gallery will be converted into retail space. We will have more room for our Tieton-Made products and carefully chosen items from our favorite designers. But art lovers, fear not—we will dedicate one wall to the exhibition of art.

The first exhibition in our renovated space opens Thursday, June 6 and runs through June 29. Seattle artist Libby L. Gerber will showcase work from her series The Topography of Cracks. She makes delicate, ornate drawings in accordion-folded books that depict something simple and ordinary: fractures in foundations, sidewalks, freeways and skyscrapers. The map-like quality of these graphic drawings causes confusion between what represents “natural” and “man-made” elements.

In her multi-disciplinary practice, Gerber explores the intersections between urban life, the environment, and society. Gerber exhibits her work in both traditional and unconventional public spaces as well as formal galleries. She has shown work at the Center on Contemporary Art, Chaffey College, LAUNCH, The Audubon Center at Debs Park, The Milagro Allegro Community Garden, Gallery 825, Santa Ana College, The City of Brea Municipal Gallery, and the Angel's Gate Cultural Center.

First Thursday reception:
June 6, 2013, 5–7 p.m.

Exhibition dates:
June 6–June 28

Monday–Saturday, 11 a.m.–6 p.m.
