City Hall
Technological Metabolism
Do this tonight:
Jarrod Gorbel, from Brooklyn, and Fences (Chris Mansfield), from Seattle, are both tattooed barroom balladeers who sound alternately like recovering addicts grateful to be alive and incurably love-ridden sad sacks waiting forlornly for death. They are formerly-bad dudes with salvaged hearts who seem to be brimming with sad stories.
Fences.
The songs are rough-edged and confessional in a basic way, but that's the appeal. The show is at Vera, and although the ideal setting for this show would be at a scruffy bar like the Comet, or even in Pioneer Square, any excuse to support the Vera Project is a good one.
Tonight at 7:30 pm at The Vera Project (Warren Avenue N & Republican Street), $10 advance, $11 door.

ARCADE magazine, issue 28.3 Launch Party
ARCADE is the Pacific Northwest's architecture magazine, published by the Northwest Architectural League. It's everything an architecture magazine should be—it has lean, ultra-modern design, it goes deep into the economics and environmental science of design and development (this last issue contained a long piece on the evolution of the country home since ancient Rome, and a feature on "technological metabolism"), and it's written by a who's-who of local enviros, architects, and aficionados (including this article about recycling construction waste by Seattle übermensch Peter Steinbrueck). Reading it makes you feel smart, although it also kind of hurts your brain.
Tomorrow, they're having a party for the launch of the magazine's newest issue. It's in Bellevue, but there will be live music and snacks.
Tomorrow night at Open Satellite in Bellevue (989 112 Ave NE, Suite 102), from 5:30 to 8:30 pm, $10 suggested donation.
Full calendar for tomorrow:
Former senator Tom Daschle is keynoting Breakfast with Champions, an event put on by the King County Bar Association for local law professionals. All proceeds go toward "pro bono legal aid and increasing diversity in the legal profession." Tomorrow at the Sheraton Hotel (1400 6th Avenue) at 7:30 am.
The third installment in Seattle Public Libraries' input-gathering series is tomorrow from 4 to 6 pm, at the High Point Library (3411 SW Raymond Street).
There's a meeting of the Immigrant and Refugee Advisory Board, which discusses issues facing immigrant communities in Seattle, and makes recommendations to the Mayor and City Council. Tonight from 6:15 to 8:15 pm at Seattle City Hall (600 Fourth Avenue, Room 370).
