The indoor area has a nice large bar and a big kitchen as well. The building itself is old but has seemed to be kept up nicely. The conference room was kind of smelly, but it could have just been the left over odor from the groomsmen getting ready in there. Lol! The area for the women to get ready was a nice big lavatory lounge with big mirrors and lighting. Thank goodness we had a fan bc it did get a bit hot I'm there. Make sure to be prepared to plan though because it seemed like there was lots of prep done by family & friends, so I am not sure if the venue offered a crew for set up & tear down. Over all it was a lovely location for a ceremony!

As far as venues go, there is quite a bit of space available on each floor, it would be easy to accomodate a large party. The staff that I encountered were super nice.

This is simply put, a gem of a location and something that all potential bride's and grooms should check out. My understanding is that you can actually use three different areas on site for the actual ceremony. The one that I attended was in a peaceful garden setting with beautiful trees. The dinner was set out on a lawn overlooking the valley, as the sun was setting. A fun bar area is available as well. Every fine detail of a garden setting is available here.

I drive to the Schack Art Center once a year for their Fresh Paint art festival, but my favorites…read moreare almost always inside the art center itself. This year, their summer art events are "Art of the Garden" at the main gallery and "Cambium Layers II" at the mezzanine gallery. They have events throughout the year, rotating in special exhibits, classes, summer camps, and more. I chatted with the staff working there, and they are always very personable. While the Fresh Paint art festival is relatively modest with the length of two city blocks, the exhibit inside the center makes the drive worthwhile. If I was more of an art creator, I would definitely look into their classes. They have an impressive array from ceramics and clay to digital to glass, and classics like painting, sculpture, and woodcarving. The facility looks new and is very clean. I would recommend them both to shop for art (at front gift shop or during an exhibit period) and for their classes.

The Dark Cabaret Ensemble Invades Seattle !!! ["Is NO ONE…read moresafe at a Micro-Brewery anymore?!?"] SITREP Not content with conquering the City of San Francisco, Kat Robichaud lays sight upon Seattle too and takes over the night life when the Misfit Cabaret is in town! THE SETUP *Public Service Announcement!* Kat Bobichaud's MISFIT CABERET (aka "Kat's Cabaret") is NOT for everyone! [Nearly naked lady alert!] = NOT for the timid! (But you need it) = NOT for the weak of heart! (But there's medicine for that!) = NOT for moral or virtuous people, like clerics, priests, nuns, etc., but they need it! And oh hell, you MAY even see someone attired as such performing on stage here, as when a full-on EXORCISM is being conducted, so *BEWARE* oh yea, weak of heart. But if you can handle dirty talk, some raunch & nearly naked ladies, and you LIKE dirty talk, and raunch from these nearly naked ladies, and things excite you like horny life-size violin-performing dollies, and sexy bearded dancers, and demon-possessed aerial-suspension artists, than Kat's Cabaret, performing here at Hale's Palladium, is your Holy Place! "THE VOICE" Kat's voice is Sultry, Beautiful and AMAZING. And it should be surprise then that she was ON the show, "THE VOICE". So if you were scratching your head, trying to figure out why she looked so familiar, it's because she was on that show a few years back. THE MISFIT CABARET! The Misfit Cabaret is mainly in residence at the Z Space in the Mission District of San Francisco. For those of you following Kat and the Misfit Cabaret, you may remember that they were "in residence" previously at the Great Star Theatre in San Francisco's vaunted Chinatown. But Great Star had to shut down at one point, and so the Misfit Cabaret established a more stable residence at the Z Space. MY FUN INTERACTIONS WITH THE CABARET! Because Kat's Cabaret IS a traveling troupe of wacky misfits as well, to such far-flung international places like......Sacramento's Crocker Art Museum, I first met Kat and got to see the ensemble perform when they indulged SacTown with their performance of "Dark Cabaret". This was joy to the eyes & ears, as Kat and her ensemble paid tribute to the Cabaret-traditions of Berlin in the 1920s, but with a decidedly DARK edge to all of the performances. And so I've been hooked on the Misfits ever since. THE PROGRAMS! Always changing, shaking it up, hosted at fun venues, energized with BOTH resident & guest performers that love being part of Kat's world-renown Cabaret! And since they travel up and down the coast from SoCal and back up to Seattle, these kids have "STAMINA"! * A VERY SCARY MISFIT CABARET! Tonight's show was an Ode To The Magic Of Halloween! * No greater personage than Beetlejuice was our host! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/kat-robichauds-misfit-cabaret-hales-palladium-seattle?select=iuF0DcNXTjIpvCrsTche1A&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w * There was an aerial exorcism! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/kat-robichauds-misfit-cabaret-hales-palladium-seattle?select=8K2rko4rHNjBnj74fOp-eA&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w * A wonderful Bearded Dancer! * Sexy Burlesque Dancing! * Also Sexy Violin-plucking Dollie! * And what better way to conclude a performance than with the Final Scene of "Carrie" on Prom Night! (Oh YEAH!) Mad props to BAND and effervescent femme fatale WEDNESDAY from the Addams Family (deliciously bad Jordan Nathan, producer of Misfit Cabaret and MY favorite pinup). :D But it doesn't stop there: Kat & crew - besides creating new shows - keep other popular shows in rotation from their repertoire, such as... *CHRISTMAS STAR WARS GREMLINS EXTRAVAGANZA !!! My GAWD, it does NOT get any wackier & weirder, nor delightful & celebratory than a Christmas pageant with a female Wookie aerial artist, nasty Gremlins (puppets!!!), sexy burlesque performers, and KAT! All singing and/or performing their hearts out at Great Star Chinese Theatre in Chinatown - so there wasn't any surprise seeing a Chinese Dragon trooping down aisle and taking over stage - THIS ...is the kind of quality - and crazy - performances you can expect! *GRIMM I love "spooky!" I love "Maleficent". AND I went in March for my first time at Z Space, because, YES, I am a fan and I LOVE all things "KAT ROBICHAUD" now. Maleficent was a wonderful, kitschy twist on the tale of sleeping beauty, and it ALSO had puppets! Dark Dark Puppets! But it also had the whole host of OTHER exciting performances that you come to expect Kat, Misfit Cabaret, and the entire guest line-up artists, including in this instance, my friend THE UNWOMAN performing on her electronic cello. PATREON The site Patreon provides an avenue of participation to contribute - outside from mere ticket purchases and attendance - to the continued success of your favorite artists, which is why I am also a Patreon-contributor to the Misfit Cabaret.

The whole thing was based around Kat singing, but you can't just sing snip-its of a ton of songs…read moreand hope a plot will appear. The cabaret acts were much too short and too few and still they had Kat singing the whole time which would have been fine if they attempted to cohesively integrate it or pick songs that made sense with what was happening. Lots of people left after the first "half" but we stayed in the hopes that it would get better... it did not. If you bought tickets then try and get a refund. If you were thinking about going... don't. One of the worst things I've seen in a while.

I attended a friend's wedding reception this weekend at Greenwood Square. The building is on the…read morecorner of 85th and Greenwood. The building is shared with The Upper Crust Catering, which has its own page on Yelp. The first floor of the building is the catering kitchen and the second floor is the event space. This is from the perspective of someone who attended an event there, but wasn't involved with any of the planning or coordination, so I can't speak to that aspect. I enjoyed the feel of the space. It is a building from the 1920s and has a sort of "classic ballroom" type of feeling, classy without being pretentious or trendy. I liked that the restrooms were right off the main dining area and didn't require a long trek to find. It's a good medium-sized space, not tiny but not huge either. There's a little side room where the food is served out of, and an open dance floor space towards the back of the room. At this event, catering was provided by Upper Crust and it was a vegan dinner. The food was flavorful and filling; I enjoyed it despite not being vegetarian or vegan. It was served buffet style and there were a number of options, including quinoa pilaf, pad thai, a potato dish with a vegan roast, watermelon with balsamic dressing, a salad with crispy noodles, and possibly one or two other things that I am forgetting. Instead of cake, they opted to have peanut butter and jelly bars for dessert that had a sort of crumble topping. I think the quinoa was my favorite. Overall, I would recommend the space UNLESS you need a wheelchair accessible venue. Being an older building, it doesn't conform to today's accessibility standards. There's no elevator to the second floor, and the restroom is very tiny and I don't think a wheelchair could fit in there. Also, if you want your event catered, you will need to use Upper Crust since the building is owned by them and they have an exclusive partnership, so it's probably not the best choice if you have your heart set on a different caterer.
