The Stranger

In these Uncertain Economic Times™, any newspaper giving away tens of thousands of dollars in arts grants every year—and throwing a big-ass party for the city to celebrate—would have to be run by crazy people. Fortunately for all of you, we're crazy people. Come celebrate the artists: ejaculatory sculptor/drawer Jeffry Mitchell, hiphop filmmaker Zia Mohajerjasbi, funny freaks the Cody Rivers Show, modern mythmaker Stacey Levine, and the newly invigorated and sexed-up Pacific Northwest Ballet. And hear the music: Throw Me the Statue, They Live!, U.S.F., Emerald City Soul Club. And drink and dance and make out in the dark corners of the Moore Theatre. It's gonna be fun.
