Doug and Smashley get ready for the long Independence Day weekend, going over some headlines, local business news, and arts arts arts! 

The Washington Center for the Performing Arts 26/27 season calendar is out and there are five shows on our agenda. Notable Tig Notaro has a brand new show. MOMOX: Botanica promises to be a wildly unique, visual stunner. Compagnie Hervé Koubi will have amazing choreography and dance to remember in “Sol Invictus”. We’ll get to hear from local (Edmonds) treasure Rick Steves, “Travel as a Political Act.” The waiting is the hardest part. 

The World’s Quickest Theater Festival is back! 14/48 promises to be a good time. The late show series pass is the best deal around: https://www.the1448projects.org/twqtf. I’m planning on going to the first weekend, July 10th and 11th, and if I survive the Lakefair 8k, Saturday the 18th. 

This band is all up in my head! Man/Woman/Chainsaw - Get Up and Dance is another great song. It’s on the album Cannonball, which is available for preorder on Bandcamp. 

Here’s some nice music from Winter. Check it out! Winter - hollow (mixtape version)  

Olympia Blunders season recaps are on YouTube, with analysis by Trevor! https://www.youtube.com/@OlyBlunders.
