Events from 8/15/03 to 8/20/03

The formatting is pretty fucked up this week - I am
writing this edition on a slow Mac Powerbook. Sorry
about that...
Most of our 1200 readers seem to be indifferent
towards Party Volcano's Deran Ludd project.
It is probably safe to assume that most of you think
we should leave that old fart alone...

12th Annual Islewilde on Vashon Island

From the press release:

Ladies and Gentlemen, Children of all ages,
It’s the 12th annual Islewilde, the Vashon Island
Community Arts Celebration! Islewilde has been
entertaining island residents and visitors with a
unique blend of arts and community since 1991. At
Islewilde the line between audience and participant is
deliberately blurred, and visitors can expect to be
exposed to puppet shows, mask performances,
cantastoria theater, circus arts, butoh and modern
dance, eclectic music and wandering agents of delight.
Performances take place on stages and venues
throughout a park utterly transformed by banners,
paintings, puppets, flags, games, sculpture and
creative spaces. As always, Islewilde is free to
attend and provides a free feast for the public with
food donated by the community.

This year the theme of Islewilde is “The Fall of the
Roman Empire,” with gladiator fights, bicycle chariot
races, a visit from Cleopatra and her mule, and all
manner of bacchanalia celebrating the decline of this
once glorious empire.

Performers from far and wide are traveling to this
year’s Islewilde including: Jason Webley, Lelavision,
Correo Aereo, Vaclav the Conjurer, Tribal Voices,
Monkey Wrench Puppet Lab, Circus Pandemonium, Tears of
Joy, The Ignus Devoco Industrial Fire Circus, The
Fremont Players, Johnny Jetpack Propulsion
Laboratories and more. The days culminate in a
spectacular community generated pageant.

August 15- 17, 2003
Friday 15 Dusk- Dawn
Saturday 11:00 am- Dawn
Sunday 11:00 am- 7:00 pm
At Ober Park, Vashon Highway, Vashon Island
FREE OF CHARGE! FREE FOOD TOO!


BOUDOIR @ Contour.

Steve invites us to an event called Boudoir:


This Friday, Join INFINITE BOOTY productions in the

BOUDOIR

\Bou*doir"\, n. [F., fr. bouder to pout, be sulky.] A
small room, esp.
if pleasant, or elegantly furnished, to which a lady
may retire to be alone, or
to receive intimate friends; a lady's (or sometimes a
gentleman's)
private
room. --Cowper.

This week we're kicking things a little differently.
Both of my residents are unavailable, so we're having
a special edition of Budior with some very amazing
guests.

Starting off the night we have Kristina Childs, who's
been spinning tech house since before you had that
cushy dotcom job you lost. After that we have Aron
Schoppert (you may know him as imonk, but I'm not
allowed to call him that), who'se been putting
together all sorts of shows in the area lately
(Iteration3 was a blast if you weren't there.)
Finishing things off is
Jacob London, who've recently released Casual Bingo
(classic) on their own Squid Records Imprint.

And if you're going to see Bjork, don't let that stop
you from visiting with
us! Anyone who shows up with their Bjork ticket stub
gets in for $5.
Thats a small price to pay for the only tech house
night in Seattle that comes
complete with fire dancers, clowns and the strongest
drinks in town.

Come early, and stay for Afterhours, which runs until
9am.

Email Steve at steve@seattlegroove.com with your real
name before 4pm Friday to get on their VIP ($5 until
2am) list.

8pm-2am
$5 before 11pm/$10 after
CONTOUR (http://www.clubcontour.com)

Ladies and Gents.

Just a little reminder tonight Friday the 15th I will
be playing at
Tost with DJ Darek Mazzone.

Darek will be spinning tracks from the Middle East and
North Africa
with a little bit of South Asian flavor also.

I will be playing darbouka, singing and throat singing
and playing
tabla.

Tost is at 513 N. 36th in fremont, kitty corner from
the statue of
Lenin.

It is an excellent dancing opportunity for you.

Email me if you would like to be on the guest list I
will put the first
people I hear from on it.

I hope to see you there.

peace and best musical wishes,

James

Hi,
This is a reminder for the Jai Hind party(India
Indepen-dance Day) this Friday @ Chop Suey.
Expect the best of music from the Indian sub-continent

Dress to impress and if possible wear something Indian

Hot puke yard sale in "Ballard"

Spencer is still sitting on his crap. Let's help him
getting rid of it:

Dang yeah!

That yard sale we had last Saturday was cool. We sold
a fair amount of stuff but still have a lot of very
cool things remaining and have thus decided to put our
ass on the line and extend our way-cool kick-ass
mind-blowing YARD SALE for one more Saturday! And,
like before, I promise to hose you down with hot puke
if you show up too damn early. I did it to a lady
last week, but it was kind of on accident. I'm
getting off the topic...


SaTURDay August 16th
9am to 5pm
6737 6th avenue nw
(just off NW 65th street in North Ballard at the base
of Phinney Ridge.
look for red stairs.)

just some of the stuff: cool clothes (for men and
women), streamline mixer, beadazzler, comic books,
movies, chuckie mask, ugly art, beautiful art, kiss
toys, board games, furniture, fixtures, free stuff,
books, books on tape, lava lamps, bike, skis, vacuum,
records, record holders, china man hat, and a whole
muther friging fartload more!



DIVE party @ Green Lake Pool.

Their invitation is a ranch-sized FAQ:

Greenlake has a pool? Do you mean that kiddy pee-pond
behind the Rec Center?
No. The pool is actually inside the big white Rec
Center on the east side of the lake. For this party,
you can walk straight into the pool from the parking
lot. There are locker rooms with keyed locks (costs
$0.25) or we’ll have a duffel bag check right outside
the locker room to check your clothes.

I don’t like House Music. Isn’t that what the DJs
normally play?
It’s a pool party, chill out. Kid Hops and DJ Lux play
a wide range of music: from Reggae to House,
Down-tempo to Funk, so there will most likely be a
little of something for everyone- Unless you like Top
40, bad disco, or country, in which case you are out
of luck.

Who’s gonna be there?
Everybody who wants to spend one Saturday night doing
something other than hang out in another smoky,
stale-smelling, club surrounded by clowns over-dressed
to (not) impress. Men, women, gay, straight, young
(18+), old. Anyone who wants to have a little fun, and
can leave their attitudes at the door. Your basic
Seattle hate-free zone.

Do I need to bring money for anything?
No. And yes. If you haven’t already got on the list at
www.otterpolo.com/dive then we will ask for $15 at the
door. Once inside, the pool, sauna, music, and snacks
are free. We will raffle off some cool stuff for $5 a
ticket. If a certain secret thing works out, there
will also be a tip jar, but that’s all up to you. The
sponsors are still charging for food and drink, but
that’s what Happy Hour is for.
