It’s hard to believe that Christmas is exactly TWO weeks from today. Not to stress, there’s still plenty of time to go shopping. Here’s a quick breakdown of ways to procrastinate this weekend:
- The SportsWise Winter Warehouse Sale runs today until 8 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. 50%-90% off brand name outdoor and sports clothing in the former Caper’s space in The Canal Building (716 N. 34th St). Click here for more info.
- Learn to make your own chocolate treats at a Confection Workshop at Theo Chocolate (3400 Phinney Ave N) on Saturday from 2-5 p.m. A Theo chocolatier will teach techniques for making ganache and tempering chocolate. Best of all, you get to walk away with all your work. Cost is $125 plus tax per person. To reserve a spot (required), call 206-632-5100.
- The Fremont Players’ holiday production of “Aladdin and the Magic Lamp” opens Saturday at Hale’s Palladium (4301 Leary Way NW, Fred Meyer side of Hale’s). Sunday’s matinee performance is a benefit for the B.F. Day Elementary School Foundation. Show times are 3 p.m and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday and 3 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets are $12 for adults, $6 for kids, and can be bought online or at the door.
- Pinkapalooza 3 takes over Nectar Lounge (412 N. 36th St) on Saturday at 7 p.m. Rock Band enthusiasts can battle on a live stage with a 10-foot projector screen to benefit Penny Arcade’s Child’s Play charity, which donates games, toys, books and cash to children’s hospitals across the country. Suggested donation is $10 with all proceeds going to Child’s Play. This is a 21+ event.
As usual for live music, check the calendars at High Dive, ToST and Nectar.
