To Do This Weekend

Posted by on May 12 at 18:02 PM

Holy mother, there’s a lot going on.

First of all, whatever you do tomorrow night, you should try to end up at 1534 First Avenue South, which is one block south of Safeco Field. Anyone who ever went to Infernal Noise Brigade parties is distraught that the band has broken up, for reasons related to the band’s music but also because of the parties they used to throw—happy, huge, weird, open to everyone, creative, all-night-long-lasting, etc., etc. The kind of parties that make living in the city magical. The Infernal Noise Brigade (which had its share of bike messengers in it) doesn’t exist anymore, but some of its members are part of a new collective for bike riders and owners called The Bikery, which has its first benefit party this Saturday, i.e. tomorrow, at that address at the beginning of this paragraph, from 8 pm to 3 am. There will be music (bands—The Dead Science, Whale Bones, Truckasaurus, Western Graves, Orkestar Zirkonium—as well as DJs Can o’ Beans, M’Chateau, and Schism). The $8 suggested donation is bumped down to $5 if you bring any bike part or tool. If you want more info, according to the flyer, you can email thebikeryhasacrushonyou@gmail.com. Go ahead. Send them a love note.

What should you do now, tonight, you ask? Jen Graves suggests seeing the movie Art School Confidential (show times here) and/or visiting an actual art show, the BFA show at Cornish (Cornish Art Department, 2000 Terry Ave, 726-5011, 7—10 pm, free).

Tomorrow during the day, before you go to the Bikery’s party, you should go up to Greenwood for the Greenwood-Phinney Art Walk. Venues include Greenwood Space Travel Supply Co. (which is 826 Seattle’s storefront).

huh. from her review, I never would have guessed that Jen Graves liked Art School Confidential enough to suggest it.

The Bikery benefit was a smashing sucess! The house was packed and all the bands were excellent. Especially Orkestar Zirconium. Scurvy bikers moshing in 3/4 time? check!
