Genius The Genius Awards: This Saturday Night!

Posted by Bethany Jean Clement on Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 3:21 PM

It's the year's best party, this time with soaring original orchestrations of this year's music finalists—TheeSatisfaction, Master Musicians, of Bukkake, and Lori Goldston—by Seattle Rock Orchestra! (Who else is nominated to get $5,000 with no strings attached and the crown of GENIUS? Lookee here!) AAANNNNDDD, awesome dance by Velocity's Kate Wallich!

Plus! Awards presented by local genius superstars Lynn Shelton, Jeffry Micthell, Susanna Welbourne, Sarah Rudinoff, and Jim Woodring! Only one sworn-to-secrecy ballot-counter here at The Stranger will know the winners until they are announced live on stage! THE TENTERHOOKS!!!

And-and, drinks and carrying-on and, possibly, sequins, all at the nearly impossibly elegant Moore Theatre!

GET A TICKET plus one for someone you love/lust after!

Speaking of sequins, and sorry for LiveJournaling, I happened to mention that I possess a gold-sequinned dress, and now both Jen Graves and Cienna Madrid are EXTREMELY INSISTENT that it be worn on this Very Special Night. But maybe it's a little much? (Sorry, no photo, dress is at home—it's a sleeveless number, above the knee, and it is entirely paved in gold sequins.) Hey, YOU decide! This Slog poll, like all Slog polls, is legally binding. Thanks for your help! See you Saturday night (and if I have to wear gold sequins, you must wear something comparable too).

Does Dan get a Genius Award? He should

Cato, you don't think you should receive an award? Can't you name a few things that you've done with your life that deserve to be recognized?

Bethany. Here is a Slog poll especially for you: Would you rather be:

a) Face humped with joy because you are wearing a pretty gold sequined dress.

b) Face humped with anger-sadness because you are wearing a (nonsequined) potato sack.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS.

What you better be wearing: gold sequins.

Last year Jen did either a poll or Facebook status asking what to wear and then SHE DID NOT FOLLOW THROUGH. So you'd better actually wear the gold-sequinned dress or I will be very disappointed even though I won't actually be there in person to see it.

I have just agreed to tandem gold sequining as I also own a gold sequin cocktail dress. GOLD SEQUINS IS THE UNIFORM FOR GENIUS NOW! Please take note.

The phrasing of the question is very vague and passive-voiced. If the gold dress shall "be worn", and no one else is willing to do it, I will gladly accept a free ticket and a gold-sequined dress.
