What a busy week. If I had more time I would have spiced this week's edition with two downgrades: El Ahlam on Saturday (http://www.evite.com/pages/invite/viewInvite.jsp?event=SYAEVIYWOTMKJYCSVYRB) and Mr. Moonlight on Wednesday (www.mrmoonlight.com). I also would have thrown in a Cold Lava report about a SeaTac party I went to. Not a bad party: 4 snack stars, I talked to somebody who went to school with Udai Hussein, later I was introduced to somebody who is subject of a song by The Presidents Of The United States, and Reggie Watts (www.reggiewatts.com) showed up too.
Let's don't waste more time and get started!

Carlotta's Late Night Wing Ding
I was always wondering what has happened to Shannon Kringen. She had this weird depressing show about herself on public tv. It was sad to watch her expressing her anger about not being as famous as somebody like Tori Amos, who she would consider a peer. I am glad that she has finally made it. She writes:
hello,

All Holiday Party @ Capitol Hill Arts Center
PV's CDO (Chief Discipline Officer), Andrew, is in town from Thailand to attend the All Holiday Party. He gives us a review:
I went to the first All-Holiday Party a couple of years ago and it was brilliant. It was one of the funnest parties that I have ever been to.
The idea was to run through all of the major and several of the minor holidays of the year in the course of a single evening. Silly, yes, but also oddly moving: I felt like I was packing a year's worth of life into a few hours. If you think about it, holidays are a time in which we enter into a different mental space: Thanksgiving with relatives, Valentine's Day with a sweetie, New Year's Eve celebrating with friends or trying to hook it up.
Packing every holiday you can think of into a short period of time is a way of creatively playing around with those different frames of mind. All-Holiday Party was whimsical, subtly profound, and m! ost of all, fun.
The folks hosting this event are Jen Moon and Scotto. They are Burning Man folks, but don't worry: they are not the typical, stuck-up, poseur type of Burning Men. (God, I've lost count of how many pretentious, awful Burning Man parties I have been to.) When I went to their first All-Holiday Party, they made everyone feel welcome.
At first glance the tix might appear a bit steep in price ($12 in advance, $15 at the door), but I think it will be well worth it. Plus proceeds go to an excellent web site, Erowid.org, devoted to unbiased information about psychoactive agents.
Here is the press release:
You've heard the rumors... you've smelled the candy canes, caught
yourself humming "Peter Cottontail," and felt the strange impulse to dress up like a leprechaun in public.
Now, coming this Saturday, May 22, to the Capitol Hill Arts Center in
Seattle, Washington, it's time to bring your holiday urges to life,
at...
THE ALL HOLIDAY PARTY 2004!!

Rounding out the night will be the rootsy sounds of Afro-Reggae Highlife Band Ancestor Radio.

Also featured will be the acoustic Celtic harmonies of The Town Criers, The rockin’ folk sounds of Rickyleebob, Cirque d'Flambe with their amazing feats of contained pyromania and Dark Lord ambient grooves provided by DJ Osiris of Oracle Gathering fame. With more surprises in store!
There will be two full! Bars serving a variety of local brews, fine wines, well drinks and special elixirs. “Hobbiton” will also have beer and wine at the “Green Dragon Tavern”. And Mr. Spots Chai House will be there to dish out the Hobbit vittles and serve chai, coffee and teas.

"12 mins max" @ On the Boards (1st day).
Blue's recommendation:
I wanted to alert you on a show this weekend at On the
Boards.
"12 mins max" is a great way to spend an evening
checking out some of Seattles cool new artists.
The show is on the 23 rd and the 24th (Sunday and
Monday ) 7 pm.
The Bellejens are making their 2nd appearence at On
the Boards.
The Bellejens are a blend of Music and art that try's
to stimulate your sense of fun and will also leave you
appreciating the musical abilities of the band as
well.
I cannot think of a better way to spend a Sunday or a
Monday evening if art is what you are after her is a
great way to see the many differnet art forms that
encompass seattles creative side.
If you would like more information I am happy to send
you a full line up of the show
Best regards ( your list is great! )
