  • OUR SIX WEEKS OF FUN ARE NOW OVER The orangening of these leaves sounds the death knell of summer.

Bethany Jean Clement: "Tonight: Angels in America, and everyone—whether you’re going or not—should read Rebecca Brown’s excellent piece about it. Tomorrow: swim in Lake Washington, drink a peach, ride bides, play badminton, do everything outside while still possible because THE LEAVES ARE CHANGING. Sunday, hopefully: Celebrate Little Saigon (with pho-eating contest at 2:30!)."

Christopher Frizzelle: "I'm seeing Angels in America a second time. Because I'm obsessed."

Dan Savage: "Seeing a movie with husband, going on a hike with friends, and—with any luck—causing God to recoil."

David Schmader: "I am deep in a Prince hole and am prepping for the forthcoming avalanche of deluxe reissues by diving into the few Prince albums I don't already know inside out. This weekend, that means listening to all three hours of 1996's Emancipation on permarepeat while doing the combination disco dancing/house cleaning that is my truest talent. And tonight I'm going to see Angels in America: Millennium Approaches at Intiman and I CANNOT WAIT."

Dave Segal: "Tonight I’m hitting up Black Lodge (Blood Box, Telluris) and Vermillion (TJ Max, Contact Cult, Bankie Phones, DJ Mr. Snatches) for a double dose of dark and/or strange electronic music. On Saturday, London acid-techno producer Daniel Avery is playing both Re-bar and a sold-out afterhours loft party. Please feed me trucker speed. Sunday at Chop Suey’s Dragon Lounge, DJs Slug Bait and Goo Goo are hosting Dark Star, a night dedicated to ’70s and ’80s sci-fi and horror-film soundtracks. I’m going because I like to chill to chilling music."

Kelly O: "I really SHOULD go see the Blood Brothers reunion at the Showbox tonight, then Linda's Fest tomorrow at Linda's Tavern but as Bethany Jean Clement just pointed out, the leaves on the trees outside the office are starting to turn colors. Summer is fleeting, so I'm going camping in Eastern Washington where I will refuse to change out of my bathing suit until Monday."

Katie Allison: "For tomorrow, I am massively conflicted about whether to go to Linda's Fest (rad music, lots of beer, good people) or to a maybe equally awesome kung fu party (lots of beer, good people, KUNG FU SHENANIGANS). They are happening simultaneously, which somebody really should have noticed and changed! Sunday will be spent prowling around the Mercer Slough in this amazing weather, checking out wildlife and picking blackberries."

Kathleen Richards: "Tonight I’m planning to check out Angels in America at the Cornish Playhouse. My plan for the rest of the weekend is to do a lot of walking: First an urban hike through Volunteer Park, Louisa Boren Park, Montlake Park, Foster Island, and the Arboretum, where I’ve been told you can take epic photos of trees (one of my favorite pastimes). On Sunday I’m going to try and hike Rattlesnake Ridge again. Last time I went a couple weeks ago I got caught in a hailstorm and had to turn back. At some point I will hole up in a dark practice space and make a lot of noise."
