They have performed all over the Pacific Northwest, including the EMP, Bumbershoot, Bite of Seattle, Taste of Tacoma, Showbox, and took first place for a Paramount Pictures-sponsored Battle of the Bands, which was promoting the movie School of Rock, starring Jack Black." They have self-produced and recorded three full-length albums of original material, and are currently recording a fourth album.
• 2pm: Charpai Craft at the Lake City Branch. "Join us to craft a model of a charpai, a Middle Eastern outdoor bed, using a wooden frame and colorful yarn. It is common in villages and is traditionally woven with a lot of creativity." RSVP.

Sunday, August 29

• 12-6pm: Seattle Peace Concerts at Volunteer Park.
• 12pm & 2pm: Art Demo: Printmaking - White Line Block Prints at Daniel Smith Seattle.
• 11am-3pm: Hands-on Days – Flower Press Crafts. Hands-on days held the Fourth Saturday of each month. Please drop in from 11am to 3pm for fun, free projects for children ages 4 to 12. The dog days of summer call out for making memories.  Learn how to do that by using your very own Flower Press - maybe even watch the scary movie 'Picnic at Hanging Rock.' Set in the late 1890s-early 1900s, you'll actually see someone doing that.
• 1-5pm: 2010 Beacon Rocks! Featuring YAAMBA Marimba, Glenn Bell Band, Splinter Dance Company, The Colour Project, Jessie McKenna, Red Heart Alarm.
