The final day of Block Party was filled with friends, furious note taking, and glorious Seattle sunsets. Here is how Brady and I closed out CHBP 2017. Highlights: Usually going down to Barboza Basement (™) means a respite from the heat, but not when The White Tears & Pearl Dragon is Dead are on the […]

Block Party day two was filled with interesting parallels. Two bands had the word “giant” in their name and two performers had backup dancers. Was it a sign? I don’t know, but it was a pretty great day. Highlights: First up was a trip to the distant past with Prom Queen. Lead singer and guitarist […]

Day one of Block Party is complete, and my heart is still aflutter. If there was one theme of the day, it could be summed up with the word “talent.” Holy smokes you guys, there were some legit geniuses to be found at the party of block. The evening began with a visit to Barboza […]
We’re officially in the thick of Seattle’s Summer music festival season and that means it’s time for block party again!

By day 3 I realized how much more I need to make exercise a part of my daily life. We leisurely strolled from stage to stage (because I could not do anything but be in leisure) in our Sunday best as we enjoyed these final hours of CHBP. A big thanks to CHBP for the […]

After we dragged our butts back up the hill and ate a combined fuckton of dumplings/pad thai we were ready take on Block Party Day 1: The Sequel. Today I also happily discovered that the underbutt is the hottest accessory you can […]

Day 1 kicked off with two separate freak-outs as #teambirthday acknowledged this as the last weekend we will ever party in our respective ages. But hey, once we got over that minor brush with our own mortalities, we felt ready to join the horde of partygoers kicking it at Block Party! Death shmeath, am I […]
It’s Capitol Hill Block Party weekend again, which means it’s our double birthday weekend!! (Brady & Jean, for those of you who don’t know about our latest shared turn around the sun.) Here’s where we’ll be partying at–feel free to buy us drinks, or just drink around us, or don’t drink. You do you. Whatever […]
The festival announcements just keep on comin'! As you may have already heard this morning on KEXP, the first bands for this year's Capitol Hill Block Party are live, and they're looking like a good start to a killer party — we'll be spending a long weekend in July with the likes of A$AP Rocky, […]
This year's Capitol Hill Block Party kicks off the weekend days (after a thrills-packed Friday night) with JK POP, a Japanese and South Korean-obsessed groovy disco explosion, at the Vera Stage. This is a really cool idea, an all day dance party starting and weaving through the other shows happening at the Vera; "Look at […]
