I recently traveled to San Francisco with my lovely girlfriend to enjoy the city’s food, friendly people, and warm atmosphere. What I didn’t expect to see was the plethora of murals. Below are a few dozen shots we took of the many bright and colorful paintings from the city’s streets (especially Clarion Alley), billboards and restaurants.Â

The Seamonster Lounge in Wallingford is one of the best kept secrets in Seattle. Well, actually, not anymore. The place is super full on Tuesday and Friday nights and word is getting out more and more about it’s no cover and wonderful live music. There is word that the place is going to expand now, taking over the bakery next door, knocking down the westward wall, and growing the place. We had the chance to ask Andrew, the Seamonster’s owner, what the plans are for the future with this one super important question.

I can only imagine what it’s going to be like November 2nd at The Crocodile Café when the Polyrhythmics release their new record, Libra Stripes. So much dancing – the corner of 2nd and Blanchard might register on the Richter.

Fin Records

Seattle’s Fin Records is the home for groups like The Young Evils, Red Jacket Mine and Stag. It’s policy is to work closely with artists but not to create any lengthy, binding contracts. If the artist can get a better deal from another label down the line, then so be it. Everyone wins. The Monarch had a chance to chat with Christian Fulghum, founder of Fin Records, about the genesis of the label, growing into being a home for hip-hop artists like J Pinder and more.Â
Alive at the Center!

One afternoon, I was in the Eagle Harbor bookstore on Bainbridge Island. I’d just been to a little wine shop for a tasting up the street. I was on my way to Hitchcock, a new Northwest-inspired restaurant, with my lovely girlfriend and kind mother, who was visiting from the Boston area. We stopped in the bookstore because it looked cute and what else are you supposed to do on Bainbridge Island right before lunch?Â
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.
