Can't Miss It: Weekend Edition, Oct 30-Nov 1
THEY WANT BLOOD: The 16th annual Archie McPhee blood drive is today. If you’ve ever wanted to trade your sweet heart juice for a spooky gift, then hightail it to Wallingford. Of course, all the blood raised today goes into the general pool for the Puget Sound, which needs over 600 donors a day. We can’t help but wonder if there’s a diving board. Guaranteed Vampire-free. No word about leeches. Donations are by appointment. To set up your time, come by Archie McPhee or call (206) 297-0240.
Noon-6:00 p.m. // Archie McPhee (1300 N. 45th St.) // FREE
NIGHTMARE FUEL: Would you like to hear a story? One that chills your bones and tickles the dark belly of your brain? Then you simply must make the acquaintance of the Degenerate Art Ensemble. Tonight and tomorrow, they’re weaving Sonic Tales out of music, surrealistic dance, and hallucinatory visuals. We plan on taking a trip without leaving our seat.
8:00 p.m. // The Moore // Tickets: $22
MONSTER MASH: We know Halloween offers up some of the city’s best parties, but if you haven’t yet figured out plans, may we recommend JUICE, Seattle’s best dance party? Featuring three of Seattle finest DJ's--DJ Darek Mazzone (KEXP), DJ Rhythma (WNYE), and special guest DJ Kid Hops (KEXP)—JUICE will move your body and your mind. If that wasn’t enough, we have it on good authority that Orkestar Zirkonium will make a special midnight appearance. If you like your séances with fat bass, then bust out your Houdini costume and make the scene.
10:00 p.m. // Baltic Room // Tickets: $10
EAT FOR STRENGTH: Many, many years ago, a man named Alfred Packer joined an expedition on an ill-fated trip into Colorado Territory. Very lost, and very hungry, they did what was necessary to stay alive: they sang showtunes and ate each other. Cannibal, The Musical is Trey Parker’s (co-creator of South Park) first foray into the hilarity of terrible choices. And as you might imagine, we are huge suckers for songs about unnatural love between a man and his horse, snowmen, and breaking bread over a broken torso.
Through November 1st (Friday & Saturday 8:30 p.m.; Sundays 7:00 p.m.) // Unexpected Productions // Tickets: $15
