Project Runway [bravo] is consistently the most compelling of all of the reality shows, mostly because watching artists create art on a deadline and in front of judges makes incredibly good television. But it’s also because the cast is made up of legitimately creative and interesting people instead of vapid twentysomethings living together in a house to prove their outrageousness, jocks eating cow eyeballs for small cash prizes, or business majors sucking up to Donald Trump for a job. [Don't get me wrong: these shows have their appeal, too.].

This weekend, Santino Rice, second-runner up in the contest but winner of the “good television”, “judge-infuriating fashion”, and “Tim Gunn impersonation” awards, is dropping by Seattle for a visit this weekend. Knowledgeable Seattleites have made some suggestions about where he should hang out [#]; so be on the lookout, he should be pretty much impossible to miss. And, you know, drop us a line if you spot him wandering around town (seattle.metblogs (at) gmail . com) so that we can assemble a collection of sightings.
