Mightypop is back from a much needed vacation and ready to hit the Seattle Square this saturday. Local DJ’s will be spinning the soundtrack while you shop for vintage housewares, local designed clothing and get some fantastic chow from mobile food vendors like Skillet. It’s going on in Occidental Park inbetween 11-5am, be there!

This Friday through Sunday 250 pinball and arcade games are beckoning to be played at the Northwest Pinball and Gameroom Show. All the games are set on FREE PLAY with the price of an admission ticket. Steve Wiebe, Star of the documentary “The King Of Kong“, will be in attendance. I personally am going to try to make it to the end of the arcade game Scramble, which I never was able to finish as a kid.

Switch your hub from freewheel to fixed and join the Future Tense summer fixie race series starting this friday June 11th. Each months race will begin at Cal Anderson park at 6:30pm sharp. Trick events and footdown will take place after race. As always, Future Tense is a FREE event!

This year the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) has hundreds of great movie screenings, which is making hard to choose. Their new SIFF iPhone app, created by POP, has a SIFFter visual film filter that let’s you search by country, genre, venue, title, director, or keyword. It also let’s you buy tickets right from your phone.

Here’s my picks so far for the festival: Holy Rollers, Wheedle’s Groove, Disco and Atomic War, The Chef of South Polar, Bodyguards and Assassins, and finally Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields performs 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

Via Tribunali Neapolitan Pizzeria is partnering with Peroni Beer, The Stranger, Caffe Vita and The City of Seattle’s Bicycle Program to raise funds for the Seattle biking community. Each Wednesday for five weeks, beginning May 12, Via Tribunali will open its doors from 5-7PM for free pizza. You can get all the info here.

There’s a lot of buzz about the new Seattle’s Best Coffee rebranding and simple new logo. I asked around the office and these are the first comments upon viewing the new logo:

“What’s that thing in the back of your throat? It looks like a Uvula hanging down.”

“It looks sterile and old.”

“I see a blood donation center sign.”

“Looks like an old oil company logo.”

Not one of the people I showed it to liked it over the old logo. I think Starbucks and their design firm Creature jumped the shark on this one. Verdict: FAIL.

This incredible app lets you make your own picture combinations by sliding the black and white drawings together. After you’ve found the art mash-up you like you can send it to your friends. Thumbs up!

For all those cyclists out there the Department of Transportation has just finished their new Seattle bike map, featuring 30 miles of new bike lanes and sharrows.

It was a beautiful day at Summit East on Saturday. I hadn’t been there since that massive avalanche came down that hill last January. You can see all the photos I took at the Holy Oly Revival on my Flickr page.

I’m headed up to Cypress to see the Mens Olympic halfpipe snowboard competition on Wednesday, but I’ll be back in time to catch the Holy Oly Revival up at Summit East. You can follow my Olympic tweets here.
