- This season of the Seattle Arts & Lectures literary series wraps up tonight at Benaroya Hall with a lecture from Jonathan Lethem. Brooklyn-based (natch) Lethem is the author of Fortress of Solitude and Motherless Brooklyn, and is promoting his latest, You Don’t Love Me Yet, a “funny and affectionate send-up of the alternative band scene, the city of Los Angeles, and the entire genre of romantic comedy” according to the publisher. Don’t have time to read a book today? I highly recommend his tremendously enjoyable essay “The ecstasy of influence” from the February issue of Harper’s. [Seattle Arts & Lectures]
- Dylan tells me that “King Felix takes the throne, er, mound tonight against the Twins after he triumphantly vanquished Daisuke Matsuzaka at Agincourt, er, Fenway last week. 7:05, Safeco, plenty of good seats available.” I think that means that there’s a Mariners game, yes? [Mariners]
- The Seattle Biotech Legacy Foundation’s 2007 “Our Health, Our Environment: Making the Link” lecture series concludes at Town Hall tonight with “Sustainable Systems.” UBC professor John Robinson will discuss how to apply principles of environmental sustainability to daily life. Plus “heavy hors d’œuvre”! Yeah! [Town Hall]
- Stay in and indulge your inner hypochondriac with Google Maps mashup Who Is Sick? [via Seattlest]
