Local Geek Art

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.

Noonhat Happy Hour

Thursday, September 6th @ 6pm
McLeod Residence
2209 2nd Ave. (Belltown)

We here at The Pig are big fans of Noonhat – the social, lunch-planning website. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you definitely should. And for those that are still unsure and curious you can head down to the McLeod Residence for a Noonhat Happy Hour and Meetup. Folks will be swapping stories and generally discussing the lunchtime experience, starting at around 6 pm.
