Cullom Gallery at firstthursdayseattle.com

If you live in, or are passing through Seattle, and need a quick look at current and upcoming gallery shows in the downtown area, check out firstthursdayseattle.com. As many of you know, the first Thursday of every month marks the opening of new exhibits for many of Seattle's retail galleries and studios. I just updated the site with my lineup of summer exhibits, which includes new work by Ryohei Tanaka, Eva Pietzcker, and a slew of recently found Japanese paper ephemera. Stop by and see the new Gallery!

Jammin' in the ID

Nice start last Thursday night for the Seattle International District's new JamFest.  Called "happy hour with a sound track" by Seattle Times writer, Doug Knoop, JamFest offers a wide range of music (June lineup included Dirty Scientifx, The Killer Bees, and my favorite, The Toy Boats) every first Thursday of the month this summer in a variety of ID locations.  Runs through September.  Get more information including next month's bands at http://www.wingluke.org/jamfest/.
