- Radiohead is coming to Seattle sometime in 2008. Before or after their Euro tour and to some unspecified venue. [p'fork, every other blog in universe] Based on Thom Yorke’s comments to David Byrne about what an ecological disaster touring is, we can only hope that they choose an in-city venue to make us kill the environment a little more softly this time around. [wired]
- Sonic Boom is consolidating its forces, closing down their Fremont location. [lineout, everyotherblog in the city]
- The Henry gets a new curator: Sylvia Wolf (former photography director from the Whitney) [arttogo]
- Putting Nicole Brodeur’s suggestion of a city-wide ban against pit bulls in perspective. [seattlecrimeblog] (See also, Malcolm Gladwell’s “Troublemakers: what pit bulls teach us about profiling” [newyorker])
a closer venue for radiohead sounds nice, but from experience I can tell you that
The Gorge >>>>>>>> x infinity > White River
seeing radiohead live is still a blast, but the last time they were here it wasn’t nearly as enjoyable.

for a separate perspective on pit bulls, talk to the local animal shelters/humane society. that’s where a lot of these dogs (especially post-bite)end up & there isn’t a great solution for how to deal with the problem. I’m not advocating a ban, but you’re talking a lot of euthanized dogs otherwise.
