Might as Well Be 100 Miles Away
Tonight:
One of our favorite art galleries in town, the video-and-conceptual-art-friendly Western Bridge, hosts an opening reception for new work by New York-based multimedia artist Corin Hewitt.
The exhibit is the sixth in “New Year,” a series of new work by new artists that started in January. Hewitt will use three walls of the gallery to make three videos about light, materials, and the photographic process. The exhibition runs for nine days, and Hewitt will be working on it until it closes April 3.
Thursday from 6-8pm, at Western Bridge (3412 4th Ave S). Free.
Tomorrow:
If you didn't already know (I didn't), Seward Park is one of Seattle's greatest parks. It sticks out into Lake Washington like a hitchhiker's thumb, and it might as well be 100 miles away from the city for how full of wilderness it is.

There's a full moon tomorrow night, and the Seward Park Environmental & Audubon Center is hosting a nature walk through the park. Friday, from 8 pm to 9:30 pm, at Seward Park (5902 Lake Washington Blvd S). Admission is $3 for kids, $4 for adults.
Tomorrow's Full Calendar:
Ska, when it's not being suburban and awful, is just fast soul music with a little more spring in its step. If you don't know what I mean, you probably haven't heard The Slackers, the excellent, soul-patched New York City scenesters who have been touring forever and who dabble equally in reggae, jazz, and soul. With Get Down Moses, Harmonic Superkill, and The Whorewoods. Friday, 8 pm, at El Corazon (109 Eastlake Ave. E). $15 advance, $17 at the door.
Moby , the DJ/mumbler and longtime vegan whose television-commercial scores shook the world 10 years ago, has edited a book about how the meat industry is destroying the planet. He reads tomorrow at Town Hall. Friday, from 7:30 to 9 pm, at Town Hall (1119 Eighth Avenue). Tickets are $5.
Afterward, PubliCola's Editor Erica C. Barnett and FoodNerd Angela Garbes are interviewing Kurt Timmermeister, who shares Moby's concerns and eats steaks at the same time (Timmermeister used to own Cafe Septieme and now raises his own livestock on Vashon Island). Tomorrow at 9 pm at the Town Hall bar.
Also tomorrow, the American Institute of Architects is hosting a presentation by the architects and engineers behind the design and construction of Seattle Children's Hospital's new LEED-certified Outpatient Facility.

Friday from 9 am to noon, at Sellen Construction (227 Westlake Avenue N). $5 for AIA members, $20 for the general public.
