 Artists Invade The Space Needle You all ready to party at The Space Needle? The Adventure School is teaming with The Stranger and local arts mensch Shunpike to host Satellite—an incredible night of music, food, art, creative performances, and intelligent conversation at Seattle’s most focal and spaceship-like venue: the Space Needle. With music by Emerald City Soul Club and J-Justice, food by Space Needle chefs, an open bar featuring top-notch liquor and beer and local wines, and dozens of other creative touches, this is an occasion to be remembered. Dress up fancy and bring a date to this seriously fun event on Saturday, March 31, 8 pm–midnight. This is a rare opportunity to throw down at the top of the city, only possible because the Space Needle is opening its doors to the arts and entertainment community. The food will be delicious, the alcohol will flow, and Shunpike artists will join past Genius Award winners to delight and inform the best and brightest in Seattle. The Stranger will also be announcing a new Genius Awards selection process at the event, and arts writers will be in attendance to hobnob with guests and share stories about Seattle’s ever-changing arts community. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Stranger Genius Awards—providing unsolicited grants to outstanding local artists, and Shunpike, whose leadership training and fiscal sponsorship serve hundreds of Seattle arts organizations. Satellite helps ensure the growth and recognition of creative risk takers and game changers in our community. Buy your tickets HERE. SPACE

1 what skill do you want to learn? There are always so many! Recently, batik dying, basket weaving, and weaving in general.. 2 food and drink you don’t want to live without? Aside from pizza and Japanese curry, the things I’ve been having to live without but really love are rootbeer and kale, not necessarily consumed together. Thanks to the help of some friends, I am growing kale out my window since it doesn’t seem to exist in France, if only I could find a solution for getting rootbeer in France! 3 the scariest thing you can think of? Working in an office forever! Or dying in general 4 your favorite party supply? It’s a toss up between balloons and streamers 5 your favorite book of the moment? I just finished reading Bossy Pants by Tina Fey and loved it. Also a friend recently sent me Make Your Place: Affordable, Sustainable Nesting Skills by Raleigh Briggs. Can’t recommend that one enough! 6 describe your dream party place. A little castle on the beach in the south of France I once had the pleasure of staying at, and could imagine having the most beautiful and crazy parties there. There was a large ship parked in the sea, just in front of the castle while I was there. Image how amazing if you could have the party move between the two spaces.. if only! 7 what is the evil version of you like? After eating too much sugar, or a lack of food, extremely impatient : / 8 what gives you confidence? When I’m able to come up with crazy creative ideas, solutions etc.. 9 name four essential elements of a good party. Decorations, good atmosphere, nice friends with a few crazier friends in the mix, and good music. 10 what do you appreciate most about a party host? Being able to enjoy themselves at the party. 11 favorite adventure supply? Awesome backpacks 12 describe the best party you ever attended. One of my favorites was a Halloween party thrown by the UCLA architecture department in a huge loft/warehouse in dowtown LA. I went with a friend and we didn’t really know anyone there but had the best time. Everyone was wearing super elaborate home-made costumes. There was one guy who was one of those pine tree car air fresheners, made entirely out of foam and he even had a tassle on his head that swung around like crazy when he was dancing. He also kept spraying the pine scented air freshener he brought with him. 13 hotel room or campsite? Campsite if there’s a campfire, hotel room if there’s a pool! 14 do you have a style icon? I’ve always loved the style of Kazu Makino from Blonde Redhead, stylist Camille Bidault-Waddington and Sofia Copola. 15 where is your next adventure destination? I’m heading to the countryside in England this summer and hopefully next year Japan! 16 if you could teach a class about anything in the world ever, what would you teach? I’d love to teach something about ecological health for yourself and the planet. 17 what is your motto? I don’t really have a motto but I find the phrase “if you pay peanuts you get monkeys” pretty awesome. 18 what is your spirit animal? Perhaps a flying squirrel.
Here in Seattle, we’re anxiously awaiting the arrival of Lia Ices, as she heads our way for her performance at The Crocodile with The Sea & Cake this coming Friday, December 2nd. Her sophomore album, Grown Unknown, has been a constant companion for us since its release in January of 2011, and we are so looking forward to hearing more of what she’s created during the last ten months. She was lovely enough to share with us some of her thoughts on ADVENTURE, what her spirit animal is, and what she finds to be inspiring. We love her motto best. See you Seattleites at the show on Friday?
