We’ve got a strong lineup of strange and unusual events this week, including the Internet Cat Video Festival, the Seattle Bizarre Bazaar and a “ThanksKilling blood feast.” Just in case you were sad you had to wait another 11 months until Halloween. As always, check out our Things To Do calendar for the rest of the best.

THROUGH WEDNESDAY
Internet Cat Video Festival
“A three-day celebration of the internet’s greatest (and arguably only) contribution to the cultural life of this planet: short clips of humankind’s second-cutest pets being cute as hail.” -Sean Nelson

TUESDAY
Star Wars Gingerbread Houses
Every year, Sheraton Seattle builds an amazing village of gingerbread houses and lets the public in for free. (Although you should really consider donating; all the money goes to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.) This year, they’ve outdone themselves with a Star Wars theme. Ignore the kinda lame title (May the Holidays Be With You), and just check out the craftsmanship and massive amount of sugar put into this theatrical re-creation.

EverOut is The Stranger's new website devoted to things to do in Seattle and across the Pacific Northwest. It has all the same things you're used to seeing from Stranger EverOut Staff, just in a new spot!...
