Here’s who we’d invite
 if we could entertain this month’s most interesting visitors,
locals, and newsmakers.

January 18, 2011 Published in the February 2011 issue of Seattle Met

ANNE ROSELLINI

The Seattle native is up for an Independent Spirit Award this month for cowriting the film Winter’s Bone. She’s also nominated for a Spirit Crushing Award. Did you see that movie? Deee-pressing.

MICHAEL HENRICHSEN

He launched playmybirthdaybillyidol.com to lure the aging rocker to Seattle for a show. In other news, Elton John launched willplayyourpartyfor100bucksandameal.com.

RICK LARSEN

The Washington Congressman was named the second-funniest celebrity in D.C. John Boehner was named the funniest for his spot-on impression of a leaky faucet.

KEN JENNINGS

The Jeopardy! champ and Seattleite returns to the game show this month to face off against a supercomputer. The loser has to buy the winner a new hard drive. (Feb 14–16)

SUSAN HILDRETH

The former Seattle library director was confirmed by the Senate for a federal library position. Her confirmation almost hit a snag, though, when senators discovered she’d checked out Lady Chatterley’s Lover in 1982 and never returned it.

MICHAEL CERA

The Juno star made a surprise stop at the Moore to debut a new band. And Michael Henrichsen wasn’t set to launch playmybirthdaymichaelcera.com for at least another week!


See who else we’ve invited to the dinner table.
