My band Killing Caesar is performing with three other bands this Sunday at the Belltown Yacht Club for a measly 15 bucks, which is like $3.75 a band, roughly 37 cents a song so you really can't afford not to go.

Seattle Times: 6 election night takeaways with 3 bylines
KUOW: 5 election night takeaways with 4 bylines
Other than slightly different takeaway-to-writer ratios, both outlets offer a tepid recitation of factoids wrapped in questionable framing.

New Pen & Eye up now. Last one? Not sure, but the magazine passed on this one. (To be fair, they did pay a kill fee.) See for yourself what was too spicy for Seattle Magazine!

We’re past surprise that ny times lies all the time, but still worth noting that they described this crowd at the St Paul No Kings protest as “scores.“ A score is 20. Axios put it at 30k, likely a vast undercount. Organizers say 80k.
