What a week!  Finally, it’s time to start planning the weekend.  Woot, eff tee dub, and all that.  Here’s what’s going on:

Friday

• 5:00-7:00pm Wine tasting City Cellars (1710 North 45th Street) Continuing with Washington Wines, this week, they’ll feature Tertulia Cellars from Walla Walla.  $3.00-$5.00.
• Christopher DeLaurenti, a composer and sound artist living right here in the ‘hood, invites us all to his gig at the Chapel Performance Space in the Good Shepherd Center.  It’s called “Thrill: A Jazz Madrigal.”  Friday, 8pm.  $5- $15 sliding scale.
• Friday Night at the Meaningful Movies presents Oliver Stone’s “South of the Border,” an exploration of social & political movements and mainstream media in South America.  Free as always.  Film starts at 7pm.  Keystone Congregational United Church of Christ, 5019 Keystone Place N.
• Tripsichore Performance “The Last Breath” at OmCulture (2210 N. Pacific St.) Doors open at 7pm.  Tickets are $10 at the door.

Saturday

• Yoga workshops with Edward Clark at OmCulture (2210 N. Pacific St.).  9:30am-12:00pm:  Sun Salutations –  The Ins and Outs of Ujjayi Breathing.  2:00 – 4:00 pm:  Back Bends – Back Bends Don’t Hurt.  Visit the OmCulture website for pricing of these classes and further details.
• Wine World wine tasting.  Saturday 2-5pm.  Fjellene Cellars, Sinclair Estate Vine, Dunham Cellars, Smithwicks, Harp and the launch of Foreign Extra Stout. Plus Guinness tasting for St. Patrick’s Day!  And Chef Lenny is making corn beef sliders.  Yum.  400 NE 45th St.  You can see it from the highway. Oh, and free parking too!
• Seattle Labor Chorus hosts the ever-popular annual Sing-A-Long, from 7-9.30 p.m. at the Keystone Church (5019 Keystone Pl N).  It’s kind of like “Karaoke” but easier and more fun. We project the lyrics up on the wall and provide accompaniment by a guitar or two. All you have to do is sing. We’ve been having fun with this for years so we have the lyrics to most any labor or social justice song you can think of. And you can help us choose which songs to sing when you get here.  Appetizers, deserts and beverages provided.  No beer this year, but we’ll be selling scrumptious Root Beer Floats!  PLUS, there is a Silent Auction with all kinds of wonderful, useful, affordable items from professional garden consultations to beautiful art to fresh eggs laid by chickens who listen to the Seattle Labor Chorus rehearsals every week! Tickets: Suggested donation of $10 -$15.  Tickets for kids under 12 are $5.  No one turned away.  Call for more information: 206-524-7753

• Kim & Nathan’s Laser show, 6pm at the Good Shepherd Center.  We don’t know much more about this event yet, but we did get a note from Brock who wrote, “These guys are onto something… I witnessed one at Kim’s mind-bogglingly mad scientist Renaissance man house.  Most verifiability worth checking out if they have managed to scale the thing — i thought about it for days afterward.”  What a ringing endorsement!
