That's right, we hold in our hot and sweaty little hands a pair of Dave Matthews Band general admission tickets at the Gorge Amphitheatre this Sunday, September 5, at 6 p.m. If you're interested in going, all ya gotta do is tell us what Dave Matthews Band song or lyric best represents Wallingford and why. Post your entry in the comments section here, or to the Wall on the Wallyhood Facebook Page, and you'll be entered in our random drawing. We'll…

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…

Peace Concert at Gas Works

The 30th Annual (congrats!) Seattle Peace Concerts are in full swing and coming to Gas Works Park this Sunday, 8/15. The concerts have been part of Seattle summers since 1981.  Concert coordinator Don Glenn, known as the "Chief" of the Seattle Peace Concerts,  attributes their continued success to the underlying spiritual nature of the gatherings.

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…

Casey Neil at the High Dive

Our old friend Casey is coming from Portland to play a CD release show at the High Dive in Fremont this Wednesday, June 30th. Now, before we get too much further, we'll insert the disclaimer: he really is an old friend: every summer brings back memories of trudging a starlit wooded path to the abandoned quarry in New England where we group up, stripping down and charging off the cliff into emptiness, then bracing cold, ink black water water below. Of…
