For Your Wednesday Listening Pleasure: “What Are We Waiting For” by Warren Dunes

I dunno. What ARE we waiting for, Julia?

I dunno. What ARE we waiting for, Julia?

Hey, folks, Warren Dunes (featuring Julia Massey) is finally FINALLY releasing their first album, appropriately entitled Welcome to Warren Dunes. To celebrate that fact, they recently released a new single from said album. It’s called “What Are We Waiting For” although there’s no question mark so I guess it’s a statement rather than a question? You can listen to it here.

Also to celebrate the release of the album, Warren Dunes is having, appropriately, an album release show! This Saturday night! With Cumulus and AIAIA!

Be sure to clock-out before you leave work…

It's beachy keen…

It’s beachy keen…

Hey-o! This Thursday night (I know, how inconvenient is that?), January 17th 2019, there is a great-big Warren Dunes party happening at the Seattle Aquarium!

According to the Seattle Aquarium:

Adults take over the Seattle Aquarium for this 21+ event featuring animal experiences, music, a cash bar and more.

Shake the winter off at the Aquarium After Hours BEACH PARTY! Dress in your favorite Aloha wear and bask in the indoor sunshine while exploring exhibits and learning more about our Hawaii research.

And here’s more info from Warren Dunes if you can stomach nonstop aquarium-themed puns:

This is your O-FISH-AL invitation to the winter party everyone will be CLAM-oring over this month!

This show will include not one, not two, but THREE sets from yours truly! Your $25 ticket includes the show as well as access to all of the exhibits in the Aquarium!! It promises to be a WHALE of a time!

Also, it just so happens to be Julia’s birthday and all she wants from you is your PRESENCE!!

Details:
After Hours: Beach Party (Get Tickets Here)
January 17, 2019 at 6:30-9:30pm
@ The Seattle Aquarium
1483 Alaskan Way, Pier 59, Seattle, WA 98101 (map)
21+, $25 (Discount available to Seattle Aquarium members)

If you can swing it, you should bring it!

And by “it” I mean “yourself to the aquarium on Thursday night to hang with Warren Dunes.” Except not the first “it,” that one means “going out on a School night and being able to afford $25 per person.” Yeah!

You take the word “Costume” and the word “Play” and you put ’em together…

My friend, the lovely and talented Shiboney aka 2ManuallyFocus, is a professional photographer (among other things). One thing she specializes in is taking photos of people in their cosplay getups. And now she’s having an exhibition of her cosplay photography!

It’s at the Rosetta Hunter Art Gallery at Seattle Central College! Take a look:

Not only is it an exhibit of her photos, but it is also displaying props and costumes from some esteemed local cosplayers:
