Located in West Seattle near the Duwamish River, the West Duwamish Greenbelt is the largest contiguous forest in Seattle, stretching from West Seattle to Burien.

Musicians perform for volunteers at many of our restoration work parties.

11111 NE 8TH St
Bellevue, WA 98004
Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 6:30 – 9:30pm

When former film producer Mark Tarlov established Evening Land Vineyards, he assembled a team of Burgundy fanatics, including two superstars: famed winemaker Dominique Lafon and James Beard award winning master sommelier and former GM of Rubicon Estate, Larry Stone. What was to be a hobby soon became his second career. Evening Land’s distinctive Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs, based on estate vineyards on the Sonoma Coast, Oregon’s Eola-Amity Hills and Burgundy, have placed the winery on Wine & Spirits 2011 “Top 100 Wineries of the Year”, garnered raves from Wine Spectator’s Harvey Steiman and scores in the mid to high 90’s. Twenty-four lucky guests will get red carpet treatment at an exclusive Evening Land wine dinner to be held Tuesday, February 7th at 6:30 pm in the Jeroboam Room at John Howie Steak in Bellevue, pairing an incredible menu with amazing wine.

Available seats will be allocated on a first contact, first serve basis.

ABOUT EVENING LAND VINEYARDS
Evening Land has brought together a collection of pinot noir and chardonnay vineyards in the three great growing regions of the American West. From the Eola Hills in Oregon's Willamette Valley, to the Sonoma Coast in the town of Occidental, California and ending on the western lip of Santa Barbara County's Santa Rita Hills, Evening Land organically farms over 120 acres of heritage vineyards that produce 13 Estate wines imbued with this unique spirit of place. An orchestrated mix of old vine own rooted Oregon and California heritage clones, cuttings from the great established pinot noir and chardonnay vineyards of Burgundy and an experimental block of pinot noir grown from seed, the Vineyards of the Evening Land present a vivid view of Burgundy´s legendary grapes raised in the amazing diversity of America´s climate and soil. "The Evening Land" has long been a symbol of the dream quest for the perfect garden. From ancient Greek myth to now, the search for The Evening Land is synonymous with adventure and romance that inevitably leads to the extremes of America's West Coast.

ABOUT LARRY STONE
Larry Stone, renowned master sommelier and former general manager of Napa´s Rubicon Estate Vineyard and Winery, joined Evening Land Vineyards as president. "Larry Stone is one of the most respected professionals in the wine business and we are thrilled to bring his expertise as a producer, manager and restaurateur to Evening Land," said Tarlov. "I don´t know of a person with a better palate or commitment to making a high quality product." Stone brings with him a wealth of wine knowledge. Most recently, Stone was general manager of Rubicon Estate and a two-time recipient of the James Beard Award for Outstanding Wine Service. An English-certified Master Sommelier, Stone passed the examination on his first attempt. He was elected to the board of directors of the Court of Master Sommeliers in 2004 and became a trustee of the James Beard Foundation in 2005. He is the only American to earn the title of Maître Sommelier from the Union de la Sommelerie Française.

STG Presents: Wilco

Paramount Theatre
911 Pine St
Seattle, WA 98101
Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 8pm

STG presents Wilco on Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at The Paramount Theatre in Seattle.

Wilco rose from the ashes of the seminal roots rock band Uncle Tupelo, which disbanded in 1994. While Jay Farrar, one of the group's two singer/songwriters, went on to form Son Volt, his ex-partner Jeff Tweedy established Wilco along with the remaining members of Tupelo's final incarnation, which included drummer Ken Coomer as well as part-time bandmates John Stirratt (bass) and Max Johnston (mandolin, banjo, fiddle, and lap steel). Guitarist Jay Bennett rounded out the group, which in 1995 issued its debut album, A.M., a collection of spry country-rock tunes that followed the course established in Tweedy's earlier work.

Each work party begins with a short informal forest ecology workshop, and we spend the remainder of the time performing various restoration activities, including planting native trees and shrubs, removing invasive species, mulching previously-planted areas, and more. Musicians perform for volunteers at many of our restoration work parties.

We work rain or shine. Please dress appropriately with long pants, warm and dry layers, closed toed shoes and rain gear as needed. We provide gloves, tools, a light granola bar snack (feel free to bring a lunch) and a jug of water. Please bring a refillable water bottle.

STG Presents: The Jayhawks

Neptune Theatre
1303 NE 45TH St
Seattle, WA 98105
Thursday, February 9, 2012, 8pm

STG presents The Jayhawks at the Neptune Theatre in Seattle on Thursday, February 9, 2012.

During their heyday in the first half of the 1990s, The Jayhawks perfected a captivating sound that seamlessly blended the elegant folk-rock of The Byrds, the adventurousness of Buffalo Springfield, the hippiebilly soulfulness of The Flying Burrito Brothers, and the soaring harmonies of The Beach Boys. So it’s richly ironic that their reappearance coincides with a dramatic resurgence of the musical approach they played such a central role in perpetuating—but this time around, The Jayhawks themselves are revered as icons by the young bands carrying on those same traditions, and it’s their own legacy that they’re advancing. On Mockingbird Time, their eighth album, and the first with the original lineup since 1995’s Tomorrow The Green Grass, they’re once again pushing the envelope in songs and performances of rarefied dynamism and grace. The album’s shapes and textures range from the string-laden grandeur of “Hide Your Colors” and the widescreen vistas of “Tiny Arrows” to the streamlined 12-string jangle of “She Walks in So Many Ways” and the amphetamine frenzy of “High Water Blues.”

A new wave is sweeping the country. People are recognizing the joy, satisfaction and security of being able to provide for our own needs, shifting from dependence on giant corporations to a healthy interdependence with our local community. Let's re-learn the skills our grandparents knew!

In partnership with Ravenna Eckstein and Meadowbrook Community Centers, Sustainable NE Seattle is organizing a community skills fair called "Hands On." Over twenty folks from our neighborhoods have stepped up to share skills such as food preservation, grafting, tool repair, and making clothes.

The skills workshops are being held in two community centers simultaneously. Vanpools will be available.

The admission for the day is $15 for those who pre-pay through the Parks Department website (see instructions below), or $20 for at-the-door. After you pre-pay, you will get a receipt number that allows you to reserve space in the workshops in advance, using this "Hands On" site (see below for instructions).

Schedule for the Day
10 am - 5 pm, Ravenna and Meadowbrook Community Centers (see detailed schedule for location of specific workshops) Fun, family-friendly skills workshops with hands-on demos. Learn a variety of practical skills related to food growing and preparation, crafting soap and medicinal herbs, household repairs, and non-electronic entertainment.

In the Theater of Love

Benaroya Hall, Nordstrom Recital Hall
200 University St
Seattle, WA 98101
Saturday, February 11, 2012, 8 – 10pm

Seattle, WA – 2012 marks the 14th year that guitar virtuoso Andre Feriante will host his annual Valentine’s Day Concert at Benaroya Hall’s Nordstrom Recital Hall. Reacting to 2011 news reports referencing the “The Theater of War” Andre puts his own spin on this powerful catch phrase by titling his 2012 concert, In the Theater of Love.

After 25 years of performing, this Seattle-based, award-winning, neo flamenco/classical guitar virtuoso has left his musical mark on the classical, world music, and fusion scenes. His fans savor the soulful and seductive harmonies
his music embodies and, in the spirit of other crossover artists like YoYo Ma or Sting, Andre’s performance program
represents a bold but fluid musical fusion. Feriante will perform a musical mix of fiery flamenco, classical guitar standards and spoken poetry set to his original compositions in the style of Neruda and Rumi; followed by a series of romantic favorites performed in the classical and jazz styles and a special tribute to his legendary mentor, Andres Segovia. This concert is all about romance and his melded styles and multi-guitar format keep the evening lively and upbeat. Although soft and easy is definitely the theme, things will get a little spicy when Andre introduces his ukulele for some pieces off his newest album Novella Ukelele Mosaique.

A poet as well as composer, Andre’s artistic path frequently crosses with other Seattle-based musicians. His annual Valentine concert affords these friends and fellow musicians the once-a-year opportunity to perform all together.

This year’s concert includes: operatic tenor Steve Thoreson, piano legend Overton Berry, violinist Swil Kanim, flamenco dancer Stella Rossi, vocalist Whitton, and bassist Jeff Davies. It is during the second act when Andre introduces this eclectic mix of musical professionals for an improvisational set sure to dazzle.

Global Rhythms’ popular Accordi-O-Rama squeezebox spectacular returns to Town Hall with a rising star atop the bill: hip young bandoneón master/composer Juan Pablo Jofre.

Salamander Love Night at Camp Long

Camp Long - West Seattle
5200 35TH Ave SW
Seattle, WA 98126
Tuesday, February 14, 2012, 6:30 – 8pm

Once a year on or about Valentine’s night, in our area, salacious salamanders of the genus Ambystoma – our “Mole Salamanders” – the Northwestern and Long-toed Salamanders gather in their natal ponds and sidle up to each other in a courtship dance where males offer up their spermatophores for the females to fertilize their eggs with. The next night she lays her jelly-like egg-masses spawning a new generation. Come on a tour of one of Seattle’s last amphibian breeding ponds with enthusiastic and knowledgeable naturalist Stewart Wechsler to see some of these amorous amphibians in their watery love nests that few of us ever see, then for a short walk into the forest where 2 other species of salamander that don’t breed in ponds still live. Though these salamanders are silent, the Barred Owls might serenade us with their hoots or screams.

Located in West Seattle near the Duwamish River, the West Duwamish Greenbelt is the largest contiguous forest in Seattle, stretching from West Seattle to Burien.

Currently we are working Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 10am-2pm in the West Duwamish Greenbelt located in West Seattle. Each work party begins with a short informal forest ecology workshop, and we spend the remainder of the time performing various restoration activities, including planting native trees and shrubs, removing invasive species, mulching previously-planted areas, and more. Musicians perform for volunteers at many of our restoration work parties.

We work rain or shine. Please dress appropriately with long pants, warm and dry layers, closed toed shoes and rain gear as needed. We provide gloves, tools, a light granola bar snack (feel free to bring a lunch) and a jug of water. Please bring a refillable water bottle.

A reverse of history – or is it? On Nov., 9th, 2001, Christian fundamentalists from North America hijack four Arabian jetliners and carry out a daring and audacious attack on Muslim targets. War is declared, American is invaded and DC is captured, becoming a Green Zone for the United Arab States. Years later, while interrogating a captured suicide bomber, an Arab Homeland agent is told something startling: the Arab’s world is a mirage, America is the true superpower and a newspaper from that year backs up the story. Stranger still, other agents have been told the same thing and other artifacts have been found. Is what they live in a mirage? Whose reality is wrong?

Substance and Sale

TheFilmSchool at The Film Center
305 Harrison St
Seattle, WA 98109
Friday, February 17, 2012, 6 – 9pm

We just confirmed that J. Todd Harris (producer of over 37 films, including the Academy Award nominated drama THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT) will be teaching at this year’s Substance & Sale Seminar. A fantastic opportunity to learn from a true industry insider.

How can I improve my script to reach a level judged professional by professionals?

How can I develop the business skills to
market myself and my material?
One of the most dangerous pitfalls for writers is the belief that their scripts have been fully realized, when in reality they remain obscure or not dramatized to their fullest potential. Failure in this area is perhaps the main reason so many screenplays get passed on by industry story analysts or “readers.”

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
This course takes you through an in-depth development process, asking the same questions that a good producer would: does the screenplay have the underpinnings of a compelling premise? Does your original vision shine through a masterful working of the three-act structure? Does your lead character’s personal journey drive the story forward? Are there key turning points, a powerful scheme for the antagonist, and a number of other specific narrative elements which will catch the reader’s eye? Over three intensive days, we’ll work and rework through these craft issues at a professional level. The end result is to learn how to make your script’s key dramatic intentions come across as strongly as possible in the finished work, and at best, this process helps move your material to the next level at the right production company.

MARKETING YOUR WORK
In the evenings, all us writers learn to take off our artistic writing hats and put on the hat of the business person that hides within. All of us possess the skills to market ourselves, we just need to be shown how.

Previous guests included Gary Goldstein (producer of PRETTY WOMAN, THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES and UNDER SIEGE), Liz Glotzer, President of Castle Rock Entertainment (MICHAEL CLAYTON, THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, WHEN HARRY MET SALLY, BEST IN SHOW) and Pilar Alessandra (On the Page).

PARTICIPATE OR OBSERVE
There are two levels you can choose from to attend this seminar: Participant or Observer. The number of participants is limited to the first 10 who apply, and they should mail a one page synopsis in with their application. They need to agree to be open to criticism as the seminar’s panel determines which aspects of the material should remain intact, be embellished, or significantly changed. Observers attend all seminars and actively participate in discussions, but their work is not examined.
