film news

Ping Pong, one of my all-time favorite sports films, is opening at Grand Illusion Cinema in Seattle’s U-district on May 25.

Korners of the Koasters

Snake in a bag in a bar

Every first Monday, Design Kompany hosts a pub night at Stumbling Monk called Designer’s Korner.
This week, while designer Kevin Tamura of Blueflavor.com told us his ideas on the Seattle Times’ type design, this guy at a booth nearby suddenly whips out a snake.

It had been zipped up […]
