• This summer's Game Show will be the final production in the basement space that Theater Schmeater has called home for 21 freaking years. It's a long-ass time for a basement fringe theater. The issue is that Brocklind's costume shop vacated the upstairs, and the two were good neighbors because they had opposite business hours, so there were never any noise problems. Now the upstairs space is going to house a restaurant and bar, and the theater ceiling is already so low, it can't accomodate sound-muffling or a drop ceiling, which, according to artistic director Douglas Staley, would preclude "casting anyone over five foot six. Our light designers make miracles, but that really is more than I could ask for." Schmeater has no debt and is looking for a new home where actors of all heights will be welcome. Perhaps Matthew Richter (see below) could give them a hand.

• Congratulations to Matthew Richter— Storefronts Seattle manager, Consolidated Works founder, and friend o' The Stranger (and former theater editor)—who's just been appointed the cultural space liaison for the City of Seattle's Office of Arts & Culture. Building (har-har) on his experience with Storefronts, Richter will work with various city agencies to help get artists/arts organizations into available city spaces for development, rehearsal, and presentation of their work.

• Did Flying Lotus blow the roof off the Showbox Sodo? Last week, the day after the most important musical mind of our time (per Charles Mudede) played the venue—and just as the FareStart Guest Chef Spectacular was getting ready to begin—a big-ass crack in a structural beam was found. The building was evacuated, and the Spectacular was canceled. Whether it will spectaculate elsewhere remains to be seen; refunds are available, and you may (and should) contribute directly to FareStart at farestart.org.

• The bad news: Once Sold Tales, an online retailer/warehouse in Kent, is closing. The good news: They're selling 500,000 used books for a buck or two a pop! If you enjoy scavenging shelves for hours at a time, you should head to Kent and start digging.

• Because self-promotion is always in style: The Stranger's own Paul Constant is hosting Cage Match, a one-day Nicolas Cage film festival, at SIFF Cinema Uptown on Saturday, July 6. Nic till you're sick with six of Cage's greatest movies from 11 a.m. to midnight. Tickets for all six movies are $35, available now at siff.net. Food truck Now Make Me a Sandwich will be outside.

• The Made at Hugo House program, in which six Seattle-area writers under 35 are given institutional support from Hugo House in the form of classes, office space, a deadline, and a community of writers to workshop material, is accepting applicants now. All you have to do is explain something literary—a novel, a memoir, a poetry collection—that you're working on and would like to finish.
