Hey! You guys! Come to the Genius Awards party! Our geniuses this year are sooo terrific—Jeffry Mitchell (art), Zia Mohajerjasbi (film), Stacey Levine (literature), The Cody Rivers Show (theater), and Pacific Northwest Ballet (organization)—and the party is never not fun. Chat, drink, dance, mingle, rub elbows, make out, fall, repeat. Genius!

The Moore is all beautiful and creepy and crawling with sexy poltergeists and ghost cats (don't you think?) and the Phantom of the Opera lives there and he wants to be with you! And bands will play (They Live!), and other bands will play (Throw Me the Statue), and even more bands will play (U.S.F.), while handsome gentlemen spin tasty rare soul songs for you and sexy ladies pour tasty alcoholic cocktail drinks for you, and lots and lots of Seattle's most interesting lovelies will be milling about and possibly (POSSIBLY) engaging in heavy petting with the Phantom of the Opera! Possibly. Do you want to miss that? Is it worth the risk?

Anyway, see you on Friday, 9 pm, Moore Theatre. Look sharp.*

*Speaking of, does anyone know where I can get a zipper replaced cheap and quick and well? Anyone? Thanks in advance.
