Meet Moss: Moss is a brand-spanking new online-only local literary magazine. The first issue is available online now. It's free, and you can download it as a PDF if you want to print it out yourself. The issue opens with an interview with Ryan Boudinot about Amazon, the UNESCO City of Literature bid, and why Seattle authors shouldn't feel beholden to New York City anymore. There's also fiction about D.B. Cooper and a couple other stories. Go give it a try.

Beginning Monday, August 4, Seattle’s Cinerama will close for renovation as it undergoes some exciting changes. Paul Allen’s vision for Cinerama is to create a premier movie-going experience unlike any other, and to preserve a piece of Seattle’s history while providing a unique asset to the community for generations to come.

The Cinerama already feels like a premier movie-going experience unlike any other, so God knows what's coming next. Let us recklessly speculate!
