a Seattle events calendar for geeks, makers, hackers and worldchangers

Elliot Bay Book Company

Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is one of the great works of horror and science fiction literature, if not the greatest. On Tuesday the 18th, the Ellot Bay Sci-Fi book group will be meeting to discuss the classic. If you’ve got enough time over the next ten days, you can read the novel, or you can just brush up on the Wikipedia article between now and then.
Friday, September 7th
McLeod Residence
2209 2nd Ave. (Belltown)
Saturday, September 8th
911 Media Arts
402 9th Ave. N (Downtown)
For Seattle science / tech geeks there are two great art shows opening up this weekend. The first is happening Friday night (12/7) at the tech collective / art gallery down in Belltown – the McLeod Residence. Cassandra Nguyen has become fascinated with giant squid, and is now creating gigantic stuffed replicas of them. Three of those creatures will be on display at the residence on Friday night. The Seattle Cephalopod Appreciation Society will also be on hand to spread education, enthusiasm, poetry and squidy snacks!
The second event is being hosted by Shelly Farnham and everyone over at Dorkbot Seattle. It’s happening on Saturday night (12/8) downtown at 911 Media. You can expect the usual fare of people doing strange things with electricity. Though this year they’re focusing on interactivity: exhibits that interact with the environment, with the attendees, etc. There are a whole bunch of great artists, and the Dorkbot folks always know how to throw a good party.
