Your weekly installment of strange and wonderful events that might otherwise fly under the radar, brought to you by The Stranger's Things To Do department. On tap this week: a Creed Bratton (The Office) concert, a pun-tastic improv jam, and an actual sausage fest.
WEDNESDAY
Bingo & Beer: Oktoberfest Edition
The World of Fun bingo includes trivia, physical challenges, name that tune, and interesting prizes. Tonight's bingo theme is Oktoberfest, so brush up on your beer related trivia. (Plus, check out our guide to Oktoberfest in Seattle.)
THURSDAY
Creed Bratton
Now here's a strange one: the coolest character from The Office is playing a show at the Sunset, and his press photo has him brandishing an acoustic guitar. Is this the "real" Creed Bratton?
Stay Happy Collective ZAHB Crew Takeover
Trippy artwork, drink specials, and a set by Stranger-approved demented hiphop producer Diogenes (plus others). There is nothing not to love about this.
The Jelly Improv Jam
This improv jam is open to everyone. Newbies are encouraged. Just drop your name in the hat for a chance to play on stage.
SATURDAY
Puget Soundtrack: Ahamefule Oluo Presents Police Beat
The Local Sightings Film Festival closes with a screening and live score of Police Beat, Charles Mudede's existential movie about a Seattle bike cop. Trumpeter Ahamefule Oluo, of Genius winners Industrial Revelation, performs a live soundtrack for the film in celebration of its 10th anniversary.
SUNDAY
Gooch Palms
Dave Segal praised these ramshackle Aussies' "Huggy Bear-like and Devo-esque vocals."
ALL WEEKEND
Everett Sausage Festival
Bavarian beer gardens, carnival rides, arts and crafts, and SO... MANY... SAUSAGES.
