TIG Best Northwest Releases of 2007: Editors' picks

We gathered our imaginary staff to determine our collective Northwest favorites for 2007. It was hard work. Imaginary battles were fought, alliances formed, and finally, winners emerged.

You should have seen the way that imaginary Liz can arm wrestle, and how Erik Gonzalez can duke it out for his favorite bands. It was fierce and fun, and we think our final list was well worth the effort.

At the CHBP 2007: Team Gina rules, so does Caffe Vita wireless internet access

Dana and I are here at the Capitol Hill Block Party and so excited to be blogging right here from the center of the action here at Caffe Vita. The pavement and people still look fresh (rather than the sweaty spectacle I imagine they'll be later in the day) and the Hill is alive with the sound of indie rock.

“Our next album is going to be maybe not so gay,” Bling laughs. But sometimes writing what you know is easiest.

The Pride Parade may be going on downtown today, but the party is up in Capitol Hill. Broadway is alive with the sound of Pride, and if you head a bit south on B-way, the Wildrose has put together a beer garden complete with music and goodtimes.
