Wednesday, October 29, 2014 11:06 — 0 Comments
When Seattle-based blog 206UP reached out to us to say they had a video interview with Gabriel Teodros and would we be interested in running it on our site, we said yes! Yes! A hundred times yes! 206UP is a classy joint and Gabriel is one of our favorite hip-hop artists in the town. This collaboration was a no-brainer! Here is what Chul Gugich, creator of 206UP, had to say about the video: “The 28Hundred team sat down with Seattle hip-hop artist Gabriel Teodros in a kitchen in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

A House on the Mountain – Jeb Burt
Wednesday, October 29, 2014 10:52 — 1 Comment
I stood waiting in the corporate executive suite. I stared through the glass wall down the nave of the Plaza Mall. Department stores waited at the ends of cross-secting halls like the warmly-lit transepts of martyr chapels. A delicately-molded plaster of Paris Santa perched on the peak of the Christmas Mountain rising into yuletide light. Through the sculpted caverns and snowy ravines cherry-red steam engines rolled, dioded cabooses flashing advertisements. Santa Claus looked down numbly, a lascivious drunk archangel at the gates of heaven, bored with the colorless sins of the latest risen souls.

Bobbi Rich is a lovely party animal. She is the host and creator of the fabulous show, Hangin Tuff, which brings bands into a nautical-themed, Pee-Wee’s Playhouse-style taping where Bobbi throws plastic crabs at them, offers the show’s signature Hangin Tuff juice and, generally, parties down. THIS is all why we had to ask her one Super Important Question.Â

Dina Martina is one of Seattle’s most brilliantly shining treasures and the glint on her drag gem gleams most brightly during the holiday season calendar. Martina, who always brings “jifts” for her fans in winter, offers one of the most sought after shows in the Emerald City, whether at “Re-Bar Place” or ACT Theater, during a time when car traffic is at its peak and Jack Frost nips at your toes most regularly. To bring you a respite from all this societal freezing clutter, Martina showcases her, well, singing prowess, of sorts, and her comedy that wows in its hysterics. […]

Jess Spear is running against Frank Chopp, current Speaker for the Washington State House of Representatives, for the 43rd District in this November’s election.
