Onward MARCH!

Now is the time, people, to have our voices heard! Join us this Saturday as we march in the name of Health Care for all in 2009 with Mothers Leading the Way. It just so happens that Jody Hall, Glorious Leader of this here cupcake establishment, is a new mother (hot mama) AND a health care reform activist. Double Whammy!



We'll be marching along with all KINDS of superfriend do-gooders from Pratt Park to Westlake Center. Washington CAN, Washington Bus, Equal Rights Washington, and countless others will be there...some don't even have the word Washington in their names! The whole shebang kicks off at 12:30 and ends with a rally at Westlake...where Jody and her baby boy Truman will take the stage with Patty Murray. Yup. Because even babies know we need public health care. That's how basic this is!

We are closer than ever to a public health care option in these United States. Let our lawmakers know we want, nay NEED it, by getting on out marching in the sun (no promises) with us this Saturday!

WHAT: March for Health Care for all in 2009
WHEN: Saturday May 30 @ 12:30
WHERE: Starting at Pratt Park and ending with a rally at Westlake Center
WHO: You. Me. Us. Spread the word!

Local Arts Twofer!

Apparently, Local Arts Twofer! is a regular thing now, because it just keeps happening. And we just keep lovin' it. So much.

This week's Local Arts Twofer! is a double whammy, if whammies were good, and double meant infinite. The rules have changed a little, though. Whereas before the term "twofer" was used to point out the fact that two super cool arty things were goin' down in the same time and space, this time around they're same time...different space...which makes things a little interesting. However, one runs longer than the other, so you can do this people. We believe in you.

THURSDAY | APRIL 30 | SEATTLE, USA

FIRST

Go to the Harvard Exit and check out the results of the great Seattle film race that went down last weekend. Filmmakers were asked to complete a project in 24 hours with these two additional parameters:

THEME: Superstitious SURPRISE ELEMENT: Action: Swallowing a Pill

To top it all off (this is where the good whammies start getting infinite) Cupcakes for Health Care cohort Joshua Welter of Washington CAN! had a hand in the film "Meeting Miss Fortune." Yes. Yes. Yes. Tickets are $9 and the program runs from 7-9:30.

SECOND

Leave the Harvard Exit and hurry on over to Ballard for the "Bad Ideas" Northwest Designers Zine Release Party and Poster Show at Society Co. Here comes the infinity part again...not only is Society Co. our neighbor and superfriend, but our very own Darin Shuler has work featured in the show.

It's almost too much awesome. But its probably just enough, so tomorrow night, get on out and be in it!
