Genius One Week from Tomorrow!: The 9th Annual Stranger Genius Awards Party
Posted by David Schmader on Thu, Sep 8, 2011 at 12:08 PM
It's one of the most wonderful times of the year, when the critics of The Stranger are allowed to cease their critiques and traffic in pure celebration: The Stranger Genius Awards, wherein five art-makers whose existence makes Seattle a greater place are given $5000 each (no application process, no strings attached). The geniuses are then celebrated by the entire city at the Genius Awards Party, when the citizens of this art-loving city pack into the Moore Theater for a night of boozy mingling, mashing in the balcony, and live music.
On board for this year's party are the legendary soul collective Wheedle's Groove and the genre-fucking psycho pop collective Wild Orchid Children, along with DJ sets by OC Notes and the Emerald City Soul Club. Tickets are a mere $7 and are available here. It will be a glorious night.
