Seattle Mariners ‘What If’ List
Tuesday, September 9, 2014 11:17 — 0 Comments
As of right now, the Seattle Mariners are .5 game up over the Detroit Tigers for the second American League Wild Card spot. In other words, if the season ended this minute, the Mariners would be in the playoffs. With the addition of Robinson Cano and the stellar pitching from Felix Hernandez and the rest of the staff, the team has played above its head all season.Â

The Monarch Review mostly spent Bumbershoot 2014 laying low near the press area with Bobbi Rich and her excellent team of maritime party animals. The set for her music variety show Hangin Tuff became our home base. It was a perfect. We got to watch band after band come through and party down, drink the dangerous Hangin Tuff Punch, sing karaoke, and get silly. La Luz, Rose Windows, Dude York, Sandrider, and many more (16 bands actually!) Â made guest appearances. We did occasionally make it out to catch some bands and take some photos. True to The Monarch’s loyalty to […]

The Monarch Stoop Sessions 1.1

Recently, in July, The Monarch Review, in conjunction with the wonderful Watt sisters of Seattle Living Room Shows and Seattle Secret Shows, put together an event on the stoop of The Monarch Apartments. It was a beautiful sunny Saturday, people lined the grass around the building, people were in the streets, it was, simply, fun. We are in the midst of putting together a big video celebration of the event, fettering Kris Orlowski and Ravenna Woods, but for now we wanted to show a more intimate moment from the afternoon with Evan Flory-Barnes and Caleb Thompson.Â

They stood on the Pincio Terrace, that place above the Piazza del Popolo with the commanding view of Rome. Beneath them a thousand red-tied rooftops stretched out across the ancient city, from the distant columns of the Coliseum to the glistening dome of St. Peters’ Basilica. To the west was the long, winding curve of the Tiber River where it came around past the Castel Sant’Angelo.
