SOME LOYAL READERS have reported problems sending email to clark@speakeasy.org lately. We’re working on it. Keep trying. Thanks for your support.

PLANNING FOR THE BIG THE BIG MISCparty, meanwhile, continues apace. We’ve got a scrumptous live band and two sizzling fun-pop DJs, plus odd snacks, wacky video footage, and much much more. It’s Sat., Jan. 26, 6-11 p.m. at the lovely Second Avenue Pizza, 2nd near Virginia in downtown Seattle.

AND A PERSONAL SIDE PROJECT of mine, the second incarnation of the gorgeous photo exhibition “Signifying Nothing,” premieres Thurs., Feb. 7, 6 pm-whenever, at the Zeitgeist coffeehouse, 2nd Ave. S. and S. Jackson St. in the heart of historic Pioneer Square. Be there or be trapezoidal.
