fresh invitations every Friday

Hey there, hi there, ho there, and I hope you're enjoying the endtimes! 

No, I'm not doing everything listed below, but if my mood is right and the stars align and especially if you're coming with me, I might do something off the list on any given morning.

If you're family, friend, former friend, acquaintance, or simply Doug-curious, you're invited. Click the links for details, and/or drop me a note!

On Friday 9/12, The Bridgerton Stroll at Denny Park is free, and there's a fancy schmancy dress code I'll be carefully ignoring.

On Saturday 9/13, Welcoming Burien is going to show me all the culture Burien pretends to have.

On Sunday 9/14, Sea Mar Fiestas Patrias is happening at the Seattle Center. I'll come on the monorail and leave by way of Dick's down the street.

On Tuesday 9/16, there's Jumpsuit, an experimental performance (whatever the heck that means) at Seattle Open Arts Place.

On Wednesday 9/17, Close Encounters is playing at the Majestic Bay in Ballard. "This is important. This means something."

On Thursday 9/18, it's open-mike night at The Fishbowl, and I'm planning to present my comedic treatise for peace on earth. 

On Friday 9/19, there's breakfast in the morning, and Midnight Mystery Theater in the evening, at C & P Coffeehouse.

 • Please RSVP by the day before. 
 • All events are 'Dutch treat'. 
 • Please remember the basics of Doug. 

And if you're planning something or going somewhere, and you'd like a fat man with flatulence to tag along, all invitations will be cheerfully considered, possibly even accepted.

Is that what's troubling you, fellah?

Hey there, friend. Let's start with an inspirational moment from The Old Philosopher.

OK, now that you're all inspired, here's my agenda for the week...

On Saturday 9/6, Seattle's Waterfront Park gets its official grand opening. I've been there already, and it actually is kinda grand.

Sunday 9/7, I'm headed to Hawaii, for free. 

Every Tuesday is Jazz Jam Night at The Roadhouse. 

Thursday 9/11, Marian Schwartz will be talking about Soviet dissidents, and only commies don't love a Soviet dissident.

Next weekend 9/12-14 is the SPAM New Media Festival, in Georgetown. Free is always a good price.

No, I'm not doing all the above, but on any given morning, if my mood is right and the stars align and especially if you're coming with me, I might do something off the list.

If you're family, friend, former friend, acquaintance, or simply Doug-curious, you're invited. Click the links for details, and/or drop me a note!

Take me out to the Kingdome

❗❗ FLASH — YOU'RE INVITED ❗❗
Breakfast at Little Pat's on Monday 9/1

If you're family, friend, former friend, acquaintance, or simply Doug-curious, you're invited to accompany me on my minimal travels and adventures.

As always, these are zero-pressure invitations. I'd love to see you, but if you can't make it my feelings won't be hurt, and I'm still going to have a good time.

If you're coming, please RSVP by the day before, everything's dutch treat, and remember the basics of Doug.

On with the show, this is it...

Sunday afternoon, 8/31, I'm hoping to see Jim Page at C & P Coffee in West Seattle. Dude's good, a Seattle original, and he's the reason busking is legal.

Tuesday evening 9/2, Contact is playing at Seattle Public Theater. It's a marvelous movie based on a better book by Carl Sagan.

Most nights there are lovely sounds at Seattle Jazz Fellowship, which is only two bus rides from my homestead.

I'm rooting for the Mariners, but not attending games. It's too loud, and there are too many people. Take me out to the ballgame at the old Kingdome, where the baseball was usually bad and the roof might fall down, but you could watch from a sea of empty seats.

Our next breakfast is Friday, 9/5. Try the chicken-fried steak, with a side of french toast.

The cruelties of the Trump administration go on and on, and so must the protests. For me it's usually Fridays at the Federal building. No, we're not going to get America back — don't be silly — but standing on the side of human decency is good for the conscience.
