December Weblogging Meetup

Wednesday, December 19th @ 7 pm
Ralph’s Grocery and Deli
2035 4th Ave. (Belltown)

Anita Rowland passed away last week, on December 10th. I never personally met Anita, but if you had any awareness of the Seattle blogging scene, you knew who she was. She has an enormous local presence, organizing the Seattle Blogger Meetup (one of the first in the country), as well as local Sci-Fi conventions like Potlatch. This week’s meetup will be held at it’s usual time and place, though folks will be gathering to remember Anita and plan the next steps for the group. You can read tributes by some of the people who knew and loved her over at her husband’s (Jack William Bell) blog.

Unsilent Night

Sunday, December 16th @ 5:30pm
The Fremont Rocket
617 N 35th Street (Fremont)

For about fifteen years, Phil Kline has been organizing the Unsilent Night art project in New York City, and all around the country. This year, for the first time, the event will also be taking place here in Seattle. Starting at 5:30 pm on Sunday, people will be lining up in Fremont with boom boxes, all playing 4 different parts of Kline’s musical composition. The effect has been described as “beautiful” and “magical”, and you can read about last year’s San Francisco performance over at Laughing Squid (there’s a video, too). Check out the post on upcoming.org for more details.
