I recently had Second Wind play at my wedding and recommend them as a great dance band. I listened to many bands and picked Second Wind because of the lead singer. I liked his voice and new I wouldn't be cringing while the band played some of our favorite songs (highly likely with other local bands!!!). They play a good variety of classic rock (a little new stuff), swing and standards. If you give them enough warning and provide sheet music, they can practice new stuff ahead of time. They are about the same price as other dance bands I looked into. We had the 6-piece band, but they can also provide more horns for a 10- piece band. They really got the dance floor moving and we received many compliments from our guests on our choice.

This gallery, located in pioneer square, is a fabulous showcase of top notch NW coast artwork. Pieces range from tiny stone carvings to totem poles and masks. for most people, this gallery is eye candy for traditional and contemporary artwork and for collectors, it is probably the best in the state. i have not found the staff to be as chatty as those in galleries in Vancouver, B.C. but they are informative and willing to explain the significance of various pieces. i enjoy taking visitors through this gallery and love the contemporary spin demonstrated in many works. previous years' lecture series have been wonderful, the website suggests they will resume in the fall of 2005.

If you are looking for unique, elegant music for a wedding or other event, Stanley Greenthal's Celtic music is wonderful. My husband and I had Stanley play at our wedding and reception. He played a song that he wrote for his own daughter on her wedding day. His vocals and lyrics were just perfect. In addition to his music being great, he is so kind to work with and very professional.
If you are interested, you can actually hear a lot of song samples on his Web site (www.stanleygreenthal.com). It is interesting how different each song sounds. I, myself, am not a big Celtic music connoisseur so I was afraid that everything would sound the same. It really doesn't. According to his Web site he uses a variety of instruments (Guitar, Mandocello, Violin, Concertina & Pennywhistle), which probably helps keep the music interesting.

Great games at half the price of a case of beer. Well, imported beer. Cheapass makes games that are cheap. Most of their games come in a paper envelope, are printed on cheap cardstock, and don't include dice or pawns. Then again, you probably already have a die somewhere. The games are extremely clever, entertaining, and quick to play. Next time you're trying to gather three friends for a six hour Age of Renaissance marathon, consider buying three or four cheapass games instead.

The Boeing Company is the greatest Airplane Company in the world and has competed with every other Company in the world. How do I know? Well, I am proud to tell you that I worked for the Boeing Company for 40 years.
The Boeing Company offered me, an individual, to make my career a complete success in life, raise my family and also see many parts of the world. The Boeing tour is a marvelous thing to behold, especially for the young who are interested in aircraft of all sizes and models. You can learn a lot if you are attentive to the tour guide and ask questions that you may think could not be answered. It is well worth the time and price. The museum is another great place to find many items of interest.

Gallery 1412, in the space that used to be the Polestar Music Gallery is a great place to see live experimental music, mostly improvisational. It's a small place, and the focus is entirely on the music, as they don't serve food or drinks. It's nice to have somewhere to go where you can focus on listening to the music without distractions.

Emerald City Guitars is a crazy shop in Seattle that sells great guitars. They have many used guitars that are awesome. Their prices are slightly higher than other places, but the other places just don't carry as many of these awesome vintage guitars that Emerald City Guitars carries. They are always burning incense in the shop too and they carry various rock oddities.

One of my favorite yet kind of old fashioned things to do on certain weekends is go to Fremont Outdoor Cinema. You can't really find many out door cinemas out there these days, so this is one of the few in the Seattle area. Its a fun way to kick back and relax in your car as you are parked outside of a huge screen. Its a lot cheaper too because you can bring your own food with you, be as loud as you want in your car, have your cell phone on, or whatever things you can't do in an indoor cinema, you can pretty much do here. Its really fun to do especially on those hot summer nights in a drop top vehicle.
