What’s Going On This Weekend? In Seattle!

One of the qualities that I pride myself on is my social planning skills.  It comes from my love for Google-ing, my desire to be busy all of the time, and my need for adventure.  If you find yourself wondering, “What am I going to do this weekend?”, just ask me and I’ll give you options.  Here I will line out some options for this upcoming weekend.
Outdoor Cinemas
Friday, August 10th @ dusk (8:30ish)

Three Dollar Cinema @ Cal Anderson Park:  This is a free screening.  They offer popcorn, drink, candy and other concessions for purchase.  Limited seating so bring a lawn chair.  And remember, “Follow the Yellow Brick Road.”
Saturday, August 11th @ dusk (8:30ish)

Fremont Outdoor Movies:  This one isn’t free, but only $5 for admission.  Doors open at 7pm and they provide some pre-show entertainment.  Movie trivia, a photo booth and more.  There are food trucks that make an appearance; Crisp Creperie and Parfait will be making an appearance for your tasty enjoyment.
Parties, Festivals and Other Special Events
Saturday, August 10th-12th

Seattle Tattoo Expo @ Seattle Center:  Go enjoy the art of ink at this annual expo.  There are artists and vendors from around the country, fun daily contest, and nifty events and performances.
Friday, August 10th, Noon-11PM

South Lake Union Block Party @ Denny Way & Westlake Ave N:  This is a FREE event with a burger grilling competition, beer garden, food sampling, children’s play area, and Dazed & Confused premiering @ dusk.  This one sounds like a blast.  Tons of local restaurants and food trucks will be there to fill your belly.  Deschutes, Georgetown, Lagunitas, Lazy Boy and Snoqualmie Breweries will quickly make you forget your long week.  Drink responsibly!
Saturday, August 11th, all day (tomato battle begins @ 4pm)

Tomato Battle @ Pyramid Ale House:  The Tomato Battle unifies as many as 5,000 fruit-chucking fanatics for an afternoon of dancing to music, sipping libations, and flinging 300,000 pounds of roma tomatoes at one another.  Wear a costume for the costume contest.  And be sure to bring an extra set of clothes!  Tickets are pricey ($50 bones), but can you put a price on throwing tomatoes at your best friend or frienemy?
