Marcella Hazan Chateau Ste. Michelle	Mon., October 13	Woodinville	Food Events Books & Authors
One of the most beloved Italian cooks of our day, Marcella Hazan comes to Chateau Ste. Michelle to celebrate the release of her memoir, Amarcord: Marcella Remembers. Hazan has been graced with lifetime achievement awards from both the James Beard Foundation and the International Association of... More >>

Joan Osborne, Matt Morris Triple Door Mainstage	Mon., October 13, 6:00pm more dates/times	Downtown	Music
Mock "One of Us" all you want, but Joan Osborne actually makes other songs, too, and some of those other songs are very good. When I was ten, I "borrowed" my dad's copy of Relish (the album on which the infamous song was released originally). I usually skipped over "One Of Us"; I preferred... More >>

Don’t You Fucking Look at Me: Surveillance in the 21st Century 911 Seattle Media Arts Center	Daily from Fri., September 12 until Fri., October 31	Eastlake & South Lake Union	Art Exhibitions
We’ve got red-light cams at traffic intersections (unless Tim Eyman stops them), and some argue the police should also use video surveillance to clean up Victor Steinbrueck Park and Third and Pine. So it’s a good time to visit Don’t You Fucking Look at Me: Surveillance in the... More >>

Anatomy of a Murder Grand Illusion	Daily from Fri., October 10 until Thu., October 16, 8:00pm	University District	Local Film/Arthouse
James Stewart defends the innocent again in this oft-overrated 1959 Otto Preminger legal drama, which continues to catch audiences napping with its frank testimony about rape and human sexuality. That boldness of approach--combined with a fresh score by Duke Ellington and electrifying... More >>

Christian French: Work in a Capitol Hill Storefront Broadway East and East John Street	Daily from Wed., September 24 until Fri., October 31	Capitol Hill	Art Exhibitions
A shaggy, faux-fur couch, a pair of dancing dresses, and a video seen through a foot-wide cardboard tube now appear in several vacant storefronts just north of Broadway and John. This block is slated for demolition to make way for the Capitol Hill Sound Transit Station, but until then, art will... More >>

Arctic Wings: Miracle of Migration Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture	Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Wed., October 1 until Wed., December 31	University District	Art Exhibitions
Sarah Palin must not have many bird houses in the backyard of her Alaska governor’s mansion. After all, the veep nominee is all about drilling in ANWR, which, as seven contributing photographers show us in “Arctic Wings: Miracle of Migration” (through Dec. 31), is a temporary... More >>

Jenny Heishman: Water Mover Ernst Park	Daily	Fremont	Family Events Art Exhibitions
Unbuilt lots, even sloped blackberry patches sitting on unstable soil, are fast disappearing in Seattle. Particularly in Fremont, where townhouses sprout like mushrooms, any real-estate resistance is appreciated. Sitting next to the Fremont Branch Library, A.B. Ernst Park was completed four... More >>

The Exiles Northwest Film Forum	Daily from Fri., October 10 until Thu., October 16, 7:00pm more dates/times	Capitol Hill	Local Film/Arthouse
This forgotten 1961 indie is set largely in L.A.’s working-class Bunker Hill district, since razed for office towers. It’s a lost film in a lost neighborhood full of lost people; you can’t get much more forlorn than that. Shot over three years without location sound by Kent... More >>

Jim Woodring Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery	Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., October 11 until Wed., November 5	Georgetown	Books & Authors Art Exhibitions
Not all of us can embrace the steampunk movement, not if it means wooden computers and carrying our flash drives on gold watch chains, though Paul DiFilippo might argue otherwise. The Rhode Island writer of Cosmocopia (Payseur & Schmidt, $65) will appear with local artist Jim Woodring to... More >>

I-5 Colonnade I-5 Colonnade	Daily	Eastlake & South Lake Union	Sports Family Events
Sure, Seattle’s a pretty good cycling town. It’s got bicycle commuters, über-rich guys on road bikes worth more than cars, Critical Mass, gangs of Cap Hill fixie riders, and nude cyclists in Fremont. But until now the scene just hasn’t been complete. The full-suspension set,... More >>

Cynthia Consentino and Buddy Bunting: Stalemate Kirkland Arts Center	Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Mon., October 13 until Wed., November 12	Kirkland	Art Exhibitions
In her sculptures, Massachusetts-based Cynthia Consentino pairs diminutive girls’ torsos with snarling wolf heads and grafts impish boy faces onto docile rabbits’ bodies. These figures offer a provocative (and totally creepy) exploration of what influences children’s notions of... More >>

Michael Heizer’s Adjacent, Against, Upon Myrtle Edwards Park	Daily	Downtown	Art Exhibitions
Since opening last year, the Olympic Sculpture Park has somehow eclipsed and subsumed the identity of Myrtle Edwards Park, which was established (with a different name) back in 1964, when SAM was still a small institution confined to Capitol Hill. The narrow old shoreline park was renamed in... More >>

Geoff McFetridge: The Mind Olympic Sculpture Park	Daily from Tue., April 29 until Tue., March 31	Belltown	Art Exhibitions
Better known for his design work for Nike, Burton Snowboards, and Marc Jacobs, the L.A.–based artist Geoff McFetridge has taken over the PACCAR Pavilion with a graphically strong installation. The Mind encompasses the entire sloped-ceiling space, with a crowd of line-drawn faces papering... More >>

Black Sun Seattle Asian Art Museum	Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday	Capitol Hill	Art Exhibitions
As the most touched, caressed, and fondled piece of public art in Seattle, I would nominate Black Sun, installed at the old SAM (now SAAM) on Capitol Hill back in 1969. Hard to remember now, but American-born sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904–1988) was once considered a rather daring modernist,... More >>

DuPen Fountain Seattle Center	Daily	Queen Anne	Art Exhibitions
Seattle Center is in upheaval. The Sonics have gone to Oklahoma, KeyArena is struggling to find new events to fill the revenue gap, Memorial Stadium is crumbling, the Fun Forest will soon close, and the ongoing Century 21 makeover plan is gonna take a whole lot of money to implement. But in... More >>

Shakespeare on Film SIFF Cinema	Daily from Fri., October 10 until Wed., October 15	Queen Anne	Local Film/Arthouse
Stephanie Shine, George Mount, and other members of the Seattle Shakespeare Company will provide introductions for these seven film adaptations (plus one documentary). Titles range from vintage, like Orson Welles' 1948 Macbeth, to more recent, such as Baz Luhrmann's 1996 Romeo + Juliet, which... More >>

Wade Kavanaugh’s Regrade Suyama Space	Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from Wed., October 1 until Fri., December 12	Belltown	Art Exhibitions
Belltown’s Suyama Space is situated on a plot of land unearthed by rushing water. Sixteen million cubic yards of soil were blasted from Denny Hill in the early 1900s—the city planners’ big idea to create a thriving business district in what came to be known as the Denny Regrade.... More >>

The Godfather Cinerama	Daily from Fri., October 10 until Thu., October 16, 12:00pm more dates/times	Belltown	Local Film/Arthouse
The best movie opening this weekend is 36 years old. Completely restored for its multi-disc DVD box-set release (Paramount, $72.99), Francis Ford Coppola’s Oscar-winning The Godfather may look better now than it did in 1972. The famously thick chiaroscuro lighting of cinematographer Gordon... More >>

The Wall of Death University Bridge	Daily	Eastlake & South Lake Union	Art Exhibitions
Installed in 1993, The Wall of Death may occupy, after the Fremont Troll, the worst site for public art in Seattle. It’s only visible to those on the Burke-Gilman Trail and UW students and staffers traversing down to the Portage Bay side of campus. It gets almost no sun, and even less... More >>

Stronghold University of Washington Campus	Daily	University District	Art Exhibitions
The original UW campus downtown was once covered with old-growth timber, as was its present location when the school moved north in 1895. Now, as that institution continues its inexorable sprawl south of Pacific Street toward Portage Bay, New York artist Brian Tolle reminds us of that arboreal... More >>

David Entrikin: Outsiders The Upstairs Gallery	Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Wed., September 24 until Fri., November 14	Ballard	Art Exhibitions
David Entrikin’s hobby is photography. And his subject matter—the homeless—is so often photographed by pros that supermodels must be getting jealous. Forgive me, then, that when I first heard of Entrikin’s show “Outsiders” (on view through Nov. 14), I dismissed it... More >>
