The Lonely Kazoo

Just a stone's throw over in Fremont, there's this bit of inanity going on: The Lonely Kazoo: A Synthetic Journey to Heaven” is an operatic coming-of-age story about a young kazoo searching for a new home as a post-consumer product. The show, written and performed by Seattle artists, features a rock band, dancing, costumes made of trash and, of course, kazoos. The show starts at 7 p.m. August 19 at the Fremont Abbey (4272 Fremont Ave N). After a raucous party…

The Family 4th of July at Gas Works is On!

Every Fourth of July—around 4:00 p.m. or so—I watch as scores of drivers swoop in for one of the precious few remaining parking spaces on my street. As the hours pass, the scene changes from motorists to pedestrians, who make their way down Wallingford Avenue in a slow and steady stream. They’ve got quite a few blocks to go before they hit Gas Works Park, but this stretch of Wallingford becomes a giant block party in and of itself. The street…
