Those Moments That Happen, An Improv Conversation
Tuesday, June 24, 2014 9:52 — 0 Comments
Four nights a week for four years of my life I climbed up the cobblestones of Post Alley past aproned smokers and Gum Wall gawkers. Below Pike Place, below a neon sign that made no noise, I would split the jutting line at the Unexpected Productions box-office and bow into the Dionysian temple that is the Market Theater.
A World on Wheels – Deepa Bhandaru

He had never sat in a chair like this before, a chair that let him swing from side to side, a chair with an axis on which he could rotate like a globe. Round and round, a world on wheels. He always thought sitting meant keeping still, and he avoided it when he could, but with this chair he could sit and spin, sit and swerve, sit and scoot across the floor. When he first sat down, he wheeled halfway to the door, but Miss Malti flashed him a reprimanding look, and he ground his feet into the carpet, determined […]
An Interview With Bryan Ohno
Wednesday, June 18, 2014 11:17 — 0 Comments
Bryan Ohno, owner of the Bryan Ohno Gallery downtown, is a sharp, thought out fellow who talks about art in a way that includes something very Seattle: the idea that the city’s creativity is in fact what bolsters its people just about as much as food and water. We had the luxury of chatting with Bryan about his talks with artists, his goals and his gallery. Enjoy!

This weekend the hippies, festival tourists, love-seekers, and other assorted oddballs will be travelling past the middle of nowhere to the Barter Faire grounds in the hills above Tonasket for the fifth annual Conscious Culture Festival. Dozens of bands will be performing on the main stage and DJs will be spinning the dome stage. The Monarch Review is sending journalists to document the event, but we strongly encourage you to get some tickets for yourself and go have an adventure! Get your weekend passes here.
Robb Benson’s ‘Evergreen’

It’s probably been said before, but I will say it again: Robb Benson is a mad scientist. I’ve seen it. In his home, he retreats to his basement studio and writes some of the most moving music in Seattle – from pop music to instrumental soundtracks. And that is just what he’s done again with his The Evergreen State Movie Soundtrack.Â

March 5 Seattle, Night – Lauren Ireland

I’m not crying on my way to the ATM. I would do
What am I?
Bioluminescent eye
That sees by the shine
Of its own light. Lies
Blind me. I am the seventh human sense
And my stepchild,
Consequence;
Scientists can't find me.
Januswise I make us men;
Glamour
Was my image then—
Remind me:
The awful fall up off all fours
From the forest
To the hours…
Tick, Tock: Divine me.
