SPLURGE VS. STEAL!
Hello, dear readers! With Halloween behind us, and Thanksgiving just around the corner, November is officially here, and with it, the crazy windy weather. What better reason to find some fun things to do INDOORS this weekend!
With that theme in mind, here is this week's installment of Splurge vs. Steal!
SPLURGE!
When the Bodies exhibit came to Seattle a few years ago, I kicked myself for not attending (perhaps i was just waiting for someone special to share the romantic experience with!). As contravercial as it is, this exhibit, which features actual human specimens--allows people of all ages access to sights and knowledge normally reserved only for medical professionals.
Take the opportunity to peer inside yourself, to better understand how your elaborate and fascinating body works, and how you can become a more informed participant in your own health care.
Tickets are $19, and Bodies is open Sunday - Thursday : 10:00 am - 7:00 pm Friday - Saturday : 10:00 am - 10:00 pm (Last admission time is 1 hour before closing). 1501 5th Ave, Seattle (5th and Pike Street, downtown).
End the night with some cocktails at Suite 410 in Belltown, with plenty of stiff drinks and dark corners to set the scene for rehashing the evening's events... (if, that is, you still have an appetite, or the desire to abuse your liver!)
Suite 410: 410 Stewart St, (206) 624-9911
(thanks to @bmarr for the great Date Night idea!)
STEAL!
And now, for those of you who are less obsessed with death and the human body, and more obsessed with Art, why not head down to the Seattle Art Museum this Friday for REMIX?
Four Fridays a year, SAM Remix, a late-night event geared toward adults ages 18 and up, features Seattle's hottest DJs, films, performances, activities and My Favorite Things tours that together create a fun, engaging, social atmosphere.
This Friday's event features: * A talk by artist Heide Hinrichs at 8:30 pm* A temporary tattoo parlor featuring Michelangelo-inspired designs by artists Allison Manch and Ariana Page Russell* A reading by poet Melanie Noel in response to SAM Next: Heide Hinrichs* Mashups spun by Tigerbeat* Performances by Scratchmaster Joe and DJ Riz of KEXP in the Brotman Forum*Cellist Paul Rucker playing live in the galleries* Stilt dancer Janet Rayor in the Brotman Forum and so much more - all for only $10 bucks!
And, since it only happens four times a year, it's definitely worth checking out (if not just for the stilt dancers!!)
Grab a drink or a bite at Ethan Stowell's Union Restaurant beforehand (Happy Hour 5-7pm) to make a night out of it!
(Also deserving a mention, through the 15th of November, The Can Can presents Seattle's International Cabaret Festival! Click here for the schedule, with fun and colorful shows happening all througout downtown Seattle!)
Happy November, and Happy Dating!
