To celebrate their new Can't Look Away: The Lure of Horror Film exhibit -- that they obviously curated just for me -- the EMP is throwing a huge partay on Saturday night {10/1} called the Fashionably Undead Bash: A Totally Killer Dance Party. Starting at 9pm, there will be beer & cocktail specials, a costume contest, and music from The Talking Deads (a zombie cover band of The Talking Heads. what), the always entertaining Head Like a Kite, and, I quote: "iconic horror-themed jams from DJ Severed Hans". hee. 

Some lovely stylists and makeup artists from VAIN will also be on hand to assist with scary-hip looks. What does all this awesomeness cost, you might ask? Why, a mere $10 for EMP members, and $18 for everyone else.

DASSdance is a local, non-profit contemporary dance company that focuses on the (often extreme) physicality of dance in an innovative voice that serves a globally conscience community.

This weekend, the company is celebrating its 10th anniversary by launching a new performance called: ALL 4 1 Dancepalooza. The event is a two-day contemporary dance festival featuring performances by both student and professional dancers -- from Seattle’s Central District to Renton to Whidbey Island -- showcasing the works of culturally diverse American choreographers.

ALL 4 1 performances are on Friday and Saturday, April 22 & 23, at the historic Washington Hall, which is located at 153 14th Avenue in the Central District. The show starts at 8:00 p.m. on both nights. Tickets are $15.00 for general admission and $10.00 for students and can be purchased here.

I got this e-mail from Mark Siano recently about his final production as Mark Siano and the Freedom Dancers.  This show looks really cool so you should check it out!

Next Friday we are opening the REALLY BIG SHOW!  Holy Wow!  You gotta see this thing, it is the most entertaining, energetic, and ambitious show I've ever been a part of.  Comedian Mark Siano (that's me! I'm switching to 3rd person, look out) and the funny and foxy Freedom Dancers present their grand finale SOFT ROCK performance, The Soft Rock Kid (February 19-27), in the beautiful ACT Falls Theatre.

"New Yorker Jonny "The Gay Pimp" McGovern's new song, Somethin' For The Fellas (That Like The Fellas), is loaded with wailing divas, strutting queens, and lots of boy-on-boy action. Therefore, totally NSFW," Says Joe.
