Capitol Hill’s hip hop and dj standard, the War Room, is for sale, reports The Seattle Times music blogger Andrew Matson. Stress, the state’s liquor tax increase (which takes about 40 cents from each drink sold at War Room, estimates owner Marcus Lalario) and new regulations requiring Seattle clubs to have sprinkler systems installed by…

This Sunday, tailgate in style by trekking out to Woodinville for some Marination Mobile grub and wine. (Psst…I hear Marination’s got a new grilled cheese Kalua pork sandwich with gouda, fontina, cheddar, pickled onion, and five peppers!) A $20 entry fee will buy you lunch at this popular Korean-Hawaiian mobile food truck, and tastes at Mark Ryan,…

I can’t wait to make this Momofuku Ssam’s recipe from David Chang’s amazing new Momofuku cookbook. We caught up with him last week and he promised us this recipe. Cook’s tip: take the printed recipe to an Asian foods store, since this guy isn’t shy about using ingredients you may not have sitting on your counter. But that’s the magic.   What’s the history…

The Seattle Symphony is getting their spooky on tonight (and Friday and Saturday nights too), when they’ll play the score from Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho live while the film plays on the big screen. Apparently there’s a way to remove the music but keep the dialogue in a film (who knew?), which is exactly what they’ve done….

Belltown got a new restaurant ten days ago, with creative food and huge views of Elliott Bay and Belltown’s passing parade. It’s headed by former Qube chef Joseph Conrad (he also cooked at Charlie Trotter’s in Chicago and is the executive chef at Twist) and the bar is manned by Armin Moloudzadeh who made a name…

The 1st Annual Gregory Awards, presented by Theatre Puget Sound, took place last night in the packed and festive Intiman Theater lobby. This long overdue celebration of local theater started out modestly, with only six awards, plus a “Sustained Achievement Award” for theater photographer Chris Bennion. But the short list of awardees belied the gigantic…

Critics always struggle to describe what Reggie Watts does—at least when he’s not doing straight up music (as with local band Maktub, or the recent, lovely short songs he created for the new Electric Company which you can watch here). His comedy isn’t strictly improv (though he does a ton of improvising throughout) and it’s…

Launched by Mayor Greg Nickels late in 2008, the Seattle City of Music initiative is a now-through-2020 plan whose goal is to “create action over the next 12 years that enhances the climate for our music industry, and to propel Seattle’s leadership role in music throughout the nation and the world.” While I’m not sure…

Talk about the power of social media. For those who made it, Saturday’s Mobile Chowdown (1616 W. Bertona), a parking lot off Dravus behind the Denali fitness center, was truly a sight to see. There must have been 500 people there at any given time over the course of the four hour event. Lines for…
