The Skylark Cafe, West Seattle's premiere live show venue, is about to celebrate its first birthday! The venue has hosted over 340 live bands in its first year of existence, and from what we hear, has fabulous Tuesday night karaoke as well. I can't believe it's been nearly an entire year since the venue opened and I still haven't checked it out (but that's what a Ballard to West Seattle commute will get ya. If I lived on the other side of the WS bridge, I fear I'd move in).

Here's the schedule of events for the big day, June 2:

BIRTHDAY BASH SCHEDULE

• 9:00am to 3:00pm Made-to-order brunch
• 5:00pm to 8:00pm Karaoke hosted by Matthew Darling, Skylark's vivacious general manager
• 9:00pm to 1:00am Awesome local bands The Delusions, Brent Amaker & The Rodeo, Amy Stolzenbach, and Electrochakra

Congrats to Jessie and Matthew Darling and the other fine folks at Skylark!
