Wallingford Music Festival

There are two, count them two, music festivals by local musicians in Meridian Park (4649 Sunnyside Ave N) in the next two weeks. This coming Sunday, August 7th from 11 am - 7 pm, is the Wallingford Music Festival. That's their poster at right, and we know what you're thinking: homage to the Egyptian revolution by kindergartners, or reminisce from a DMT trip spent watching the TeleTubbies? Difficult to say. Don't worry about it too much. Here's the point: nine local bands, many based…

Bill the Butcher gives us an update

Bill the Butcher just dropped us a line on our Facebook page in response to our post from yesterday, so we thought we'd update it here on the blog as well: By the way, I saw the 'Zaw truck out front this morning, too. Perhaps knowing that Wallingford loves us some 'Zaw, they'll give us an update as soon as they make their decision. (pssst, that was a hint, 'Zaw!)

Huh? There’s a parade in Wallingford tonight?

The answer to the headline is "No!" although you wouldn't know it if you followed King County Metro on Twitter.  Not once, but twice in the past 24 hours, King County Metro Tweeted the following, and it's been re-tweeted by dozens of people: There is a parade this evening, but it's in Greenwood, so there will be no road closures in Wallingford; but please check your normal bus routes to see if they're affected. It looks like only Route #5 (Local…
