GIVEAWAY: Nectar Lounge Brings Earth Day for All Ages to Seattle!

(Just want to win tickets to the Earth Day extravaganza? Scroll to the bottom of this post!)

It’s always a treat to work with our neighbors over at Nectar Lounge! The venue/bar is a fantastic spot, committed to sustainability, good times, nightly events, and patio beverages. For this Earth Day weekend, Seattle can have it all, with all-ages activities and music during the day and of-ages party action during the night at the Fremont Earth Day Festival — and all it sets you back is $15 or an old bike. Proceeds benefit the Cascade Bicycle Club Education Foundation.

While the party for grown-ups goes all day and all night, the daytime is geared toward kids and families, opening at 11 a.m. both days this weekend begin with a dance party, going into a special performance each day at noon: Bubbleman (a bubbleman) on Saturday, then the Not-Its (kindie rock!) on Sunday, plus some Earth Day-themed activities to keep them busy.

Later, once you’ve gotten a sitter (or if you don’t have kids and you’re just ready to party), the of-ages happenings start with a chill but fun-loving, diverse lineup of folk, R&B, reggae and more, including songwriter Sarah Christine, acclaimed jazz/funk/world collective Snarky Puppy, and improvisational rocker Nefarious Jones, spread over both Saturday and Sunday nights for a full weekend of eco-minded grooves. The full line-up is available here.

San Francisco – Ticket Giveaway!

Bay Area theater fans! This is your chance to win two pairs of tickets to one of San Francisco’s most remarkable and critically acclaimed theatrical events, Talking With Angels: Budapest 1943.

“Talking with Angels” is Shelley Mitchell’s beautiful monodramatic adaptation of the diaries of four Hungarian artists that were smuggled into France by the only survivor of the group, Gitta Mallasz, in 1960. Originally published in 1976 as Dialogue avec L’Ange, the book was an immediate European bestseller. Mitchell’s adaptation of the book is based on the original diaries and extensive interviews with the book’s publishers, Jungian analysts and Robert Hinshaw and Lela Fischli of Daimon Press, Switzerland.
