WOW, there’s so much fun stuff going on in Seattle this weekend! I have a wedding to go to on Saturday, and I wish I could clone myself to be in two places at once!! If I’m not too dead from the wedding, I’m really hoping to see Hiss Golden Messenger at Tractor Tavern on Sunday. “Caledonia, My Love” was my top played song in 2017, so I feel like I need to pay my respects!

AND spooky events are starting up… October is packedddd! If you want to get into the spooky spirit, definitely check this out:

Oktoberfest meets true crime inside a historic Seattle mansion. Haunted Soiree mixes the real 1928 Hex Hollow murder with live performers, illusions, folklore, and interactive storytelling at Rainier Chapter House through 10/31. Enter to win tickets!*
