Ever wondered what goes on at the Dead Baby Bicycle Clubhouse in the former vacuum repair shop on Fourth Ave South and South Lucille Street? Here's your opportunity to look around, meet the club members, and maybe take home some merchandise. Every second Saturday of the month (September 14, October 12, November 9, and December 14), the clubhouse will be open to the public as they begin selling off bikes, merch, and fixtures in preparation to vacate at the end of the year. The site at 402 South Lucille has been permitted to become a nine-story, 158-unit apartment building in 2025. As for the Dead Babies' future plans, a club spokesperson was characteristically opaque. 'We shall see,' they said. In the meantime, you're invited to drop in any second Saturday to check out this enduring and endearing Seattle subculture.

At the apex of Seattle summertime, the perfect drink is Star Brass Works' pink lemondrop slushy. Prickly pear syrup makes the lemonade pink, and it's both intensely sweet and tart. Vodka and triple sec add the punch. Drink it slow to avoid brain freeze.

Guest post by Jenn Gosma In case you've missed it so far, you only have a couple of days left to check out the incredible exhibit Trash Talking at Mini Mart City Park. Trash Talking is an art show with 100+ life-size replicas of politically-charged objects by Michael Leavitt that throw a bright light on toxicity and waste. The show is colorful and interesting and laid out beautifully. The commentary and descriptions alongside the art leave the viewer with the artist's distinct and thoughtful point of view. Artist Michael Leavitt is a local, raised in the Central District. The show runs through Sunday, August 18, 12-5 pm.

Nine Pies Pizzeria --just up First Avenue South in the SoDo Urbanworks complex--serves the best pies in a three-mile radius. Pizza chefs in the open kitchen toss and stretch the dough Neopolitan style and the pies are baked in a purpose-built gas oven. The crust is thin, chewy, and craveable, and the toppings are gourmet (Mama Lil's peppers, house-made meatballs, pancetta) without getting weird. My current favorite is the Siluro, topped with thin, rosemary roasted Yukon gold potato slices, red onion, mozzarella, and Gorgonzola cheese. Nine Pies also serves lovely salads, breadsticks, and calzones. If you're a drinker, you'll be glad to know they serve tap beer and Nine Hands' wine (tasting room next door). Seating is indoor and outdoor in good weather, and the service is unfailingly, authentically sweet. Though they don't deliver, takeout service is fast and friendly (call to order). And during lunch they serve pizza by the slice at the counter. Find Nine Pies at 3861 First Ave S, 11 am until 9 pm, seven days a week.

The infamous gonzo downhill race started on Capitol Hill and ended with a gigantic freak-bike festival in industrial South Park on August 3rd. One person spent the night in the hospital after a bad spill on Beacon Hill, but a damn good time was had by everyone else, even though we kind of missed hosting the finish line here in Georgetown.

Everything appears normal as the bustling Deep Sea Sugar and Salt cake shop serves slices and coffee this Saturday morning. But earlier this week, the staff got an awful surprise when the ceiling of their walk-in refrigerator collspsed. Apparently the walk-in used to function as beer storage but was not built well enough to withstand the moist conditions inside a bakery's cold room, and now Deep Sea is on the hook for repairs. According to shop manager Kim, special occasion orders were out of the walk-in being decorated when the ceiling fell, so no customer celebrations were ruined. Now the staff is getting creative in order to continue operating and are renting a refrigerated truck as a temporary solution during reconstruction. And they're not taking special orders at the moment. Go buy a slice or two and support this local small business as they pick up the pieces and eat the costs of faulty construction.

It’s a Georgetown Halloween! If you love the Friends of Georgetown History's Haunted History Tour and the Georgetown Community Council's Spooky Walk, and would like to witness even MORE HALLOWEEN in Georgetown — you are in luck! The Georgetown Association of Arts and Culture (GTAAC) is hosting its first-ever annual Halloween Parade this year. "Rain or shine," the parade will usher costumes, floats, giant creatures of the night, zombies, and marching bands (and who knows what else) down a half-mile route that starts at Mini Mart City Park, flows past Oxbow Park, and concludes at Star Brass Works Lounge. GTAAC will offer a variety of free workshops leading up to the event to help you get ready! A few workshop examples include Build-a-Giant Creature, Special FX Make-up, and How to Walk Like a Zombie. There also will be a costume contest open to everyone, the wicked and undead included. All ghosts and goblins — and anyone in costume — will be invited to join the procession. Expect trick-or-treaters before the parade and for Airport Way to be aflutter with ghoulish activities throughout the evening. To make this event a success, we need your help ! GTAAC is inviting you to get involved in a number of ways: Donate to our bake sale! The sale is scheduled for 2PM on August 10 at Equinox’s Very Out in the Open House: 6555 5th Ave S. We will have a variety of spooky treats for sale and will happily accept any homemade goodies you would like to contribute. Sign up to lead a fun workshop! Do you carve pumpkins, know how to tame werewolves, or make cool masks? If so, we would love for you to share these skills by teaching them to others. Sign up to volunteer for the parade itself! We are looking for parade emcees, security, pacers, clean-up crew, and more. We need lots of people to make this happen! Start planning your parade entry! Registration for ensembles and floats will open in September. (Have a rain plan in mind.) Get prepared for Trick-or-Treaters! Decorate your house and stock up on candy. There will be a "Best Decorated House" contest in addition to the costume contest. Attendees will be encouraged to trick-or-treat and to delight in the spookiness of the neighborhood before the parade. To get involved, please email us at events@georgetown-arts-culture.org .

In the spirit of overhead telephone-wire dragons and other unauthorized public displays of creativity, brightly painted mystical cats are now boldly posed in at least two Georgetown traffic circles. The three-eyed felines serve to make the circle planters more visible to oncoming traffic and are also so dang cute. Well done, guerilla artists. More of this please.
