Snap out of it, East Coast pizza snobs! Al Forno Ferruzza and Wy’east
are worthy of your love.
Let me ask you hard-core cyclists out there a couple questions. 1) Is your desire for fast food really strong enough to have forced Burgerville to change their drive-thru policy? 2) Isn’t it difficult to bike with a combo meal? I ask because I’m not a cyclist (my ride is too slow and uncomfortable), and […]
It’s back to school time [look for the Mercury‘s Back to School Issue to drop this Thursday!]. I’m always a bit jealous of students around this time of year. As much I bemoaned the necessity of school as a kid, as an adult I found that I loved learning. There’s nothing quite as satisfying to […]
So many of these Patrick Swayze remembrances focus on what a complete badass the man was. It’s true. He was. Clearly. But Swayze was also incredibly graceful and completely gorgeous. I remember as theater-geek kid in BF Nowhere Colorado, I convinced my parents to sign me up for just about every dance class I could […]
Jeff Busby Steve (Simon Laherty) is deep in an existential crisis brought on by thoughts of losing his friend Gary (Sonia Tueben) to a routine knee operation. Unfortunately, his crisis is standing in the way of a major deal. Without Steve nothing will move forward, but he’d rather stand in Pioneer Square trying to work […]
The final installment of a monthly series dedicated to taco trucks and
the tacos they make.
Gabriel Bienzycki Zeke Keeble of locust The intersection between modern dance and hip-hop can be hard to traverse without diluting the energy of both forms. Fortunately Amy O’Neal, Zeke Keeble, and their Seattle-based dance company locust have been able to combine the more lyrical aesthetics of modern movement with the dynamics of funky club dancing […]
Kenneth Aaron I like that audiences at the Works will dance. Not only that, they’ll dance hard, and they won’t stop ‘til they get enough. Such was the case during last night’s thumping Afrobeat Tribute to Michael Jackson. I’m not sure why everyone would cringe when I’d mention “Afrobeat Tribute to Michael Jackson,” but I […]
Eric McNatt When Hollywood legends die, they leave behind a body of work that’s almost more important to those left behind than the legend’s actual life story. The movies of Garbo, or Monroe, or whomever are almost like a magic trunk of forgotten costumes. They can be pulled out, dusted off, and inhabited for a […]
BLB I have not changed my mind about bacon. I still feel that the bacon-everything movement has run its course, I doubt I’ll ever eat a bacon cheesecake, and I still blanch at bacon-wrapped appetizers. I’ll admit, however, that when I got sauced downtown last Saturday and was en route to Mary’s Club from the […]
Patrick Leonard Eating on the Move When I’ve got long days during the TBA festival, I’ll usually carry snacks and a flask to keep my energy up between lectures, performances, and the Works. The downside is that carrying so much crap (add a laptop, a camera, notebooks, etc) can make one feel weighed down. Sometimes […]
