Modest Mouse
March 21 @ US Naval Reserve Center
I still can't figure out why Modest Mouse agreed to play in a crappy-sounding gymnasium used mostly for sweaty basketball games. What I do know is that despite a poorly chosen venue, the major-status alt more

Seattle Rep's My Name is Rachel Corrie proves free speech is not sleeping in Seattle
by Miryam Gordon -
SGN A&E Writer
Political controversy aside, Rachel Corrie was apparently a heck of a writer. Thoughtful, idealistic, funny, altruistic. Somehow, news reports about her tragic and preventable death in the West Bank flattened her out and did not convey any personality, just as a Israeli bulldozer (mistakenly more

by Jacob Clark -
SGN A&E Writer

by Rajkhet Dirzhud-Rashid -
SGN A&E Writer
For me, who can't afford a trip to Italy or even Hawaii, Norwescon is my little 'home away from home' every year, almost a vacation. Close enough that I look forward to the whole shebang that is one of the biggest sci-fi/fantasy cons on the West coast, and one that brings visitors from more
