17. Shaolin Hunks, Windbreaker, Everything Sux
    Ramones, Buzzcocks, and Descendents made great records. But then it was dubbed “pop-punk” and imitators reduced it to something tidy, saccharine, and plastic. Labels tend to cheapen things. Just look at the bear scene in the gay community. Once a body-positive reaction to unrealistic physical standards, it’s now a clique prone to its own superficial measurements of masculinity. But praised be Shaolin Hunks, a husky and hirsute quartet who bury upbeat melodies beneath bloody-cuticle guitars and hollered vocals with the jagged jubilation of the classic proto-pop punks. Bonus points for their “The Guy She Saved” video and its half-naked cast of unassuming curvy men. Hunks, indeed. BRIAN COOK

35. Salish Sea Anti-Space Symposium (SSASS) 2019
    The anarchist Pipsqueak Gallery is "celebrating" the 50th anniversary of the lunar landing in its own special way: by drawing attention to the Seattle juxtaposition of "constantly-increasing numbers of unhoused people" and "a half-dozen delusional billionaires groping for the stars." This multidisciplinary party will express their anti-space-exploration platform through talks (the Black Panther Party's Elmer Dixon, UW climate scientist and artist Judy Twedt, the Tulalip Tribe's Natural Resources and Treaty Rights Commissioner Terry Williams, and others), a children's "lively musical reinterpretation of the Apollo 11 moon landing," punk music by Pigeon, comedy by Emmett Montgomery, a poster show, and more.

37. The Beacon Housewarming: A Week of Free Screenings
    The 50-seat theater—which opens on Friday, July 19—is a new addition to Seattle's cinema scene, cofounded by Tommy Swenson and Casey Moore. They plan to screen an eclectic, curated selection of both new and old, avant-garde and mainstream films. This ethos is summed up in the opening-night double feature: pre-Code-era musical Gold Diggers of 1933 and iconic male-stripper-focused dramedy Magic Mike XXL. "They're two movies made 80 years apart that both have a lot to say about pleasure and sex and economy, and are just so much about the spirit of getting together and putting on a show," says Swenson with a smile. To start, the Beacon will present afternoon matinees and a few evening showings during the week, and three or four showings on weekends. Some of Swenson's selections will be informed by his anti-capitalist convictions and experience as a labor organizer in Portland. He and Moore hope to bring radical perspectives into an entertaining context—films that don't feel like "eating your vegetables and doing homework." During the Beacon's first week, admission will be free, in order to introduce the theater to as many people as possible. JASMYNE KEIMIG

Each year, the event assembles upwards of 200 food and specialty vendors, as well as offering craft beer and cider tastings, beer gardens, live cooking demos and mystery ingredient cook-offs with local chefs on the “Bite Cooks” stage, and more.

    Ragin' Viet-Cajun
    In recent decades, certain Vietnamese cuisine has been infused with Cajun flavors, a phenomenon with roots in the Gulf Coast. The result is an unexpected but felicitous union: Both cultures share French influences, stem from coastal communities, and harbor an affinity for seafood and crawfish boils. Now Friends of Little Saigon will pay tribute to this unique fusion with a summer pop-up. Attendees can roll up their sleeves before tearing into a delightfully messy and spicy Viet-Cajun seafood boil of crustaceans doused in butter, spices, lemongrass, and ginger from Crawfish King, and slurping up bowls of Viet-Cajun pho from Pho Bac. There will also be drinks, beer gardens, karaoke, live DJs, and Vietnamese streetwear for sale.
