Tonight! The Sundown Tavern in Ballard hosts their monthly Price Is Right night—pay a buck and you have a chance to COME ON DOWN! (All the money goes to charity.) Bethany Jean Clement went a couple months ago and said this:

The show's set includes cardboard podia with construction-paper flowers where contestants stand and write their bids on tiny whiteboards. They share a pen. It's a game for the new economy, rewarding those who know the retail value of a can of tomatoes or a box of macaroni and cheese. The audience screams out prices helpfully, at times bordering on riot. People drink giant draft beers known as Hogs, which start at $4 and are so frosty, the clinking of toasts is muffled. Each glass stein's precipitation eventually creates a small lake on the table, the coaster but a sodden island.

Bonus game rounds entail rolling big foam dice on the pool table, quarters, and hitting a golf ball into a tin can. The wooden Plinko setup falls off its chair, covering the contestant who catches it in glitter. The Big Wheel is handcrafted out of the face of a dartboard, backed with tinfoil mounted on a speaker stand; it spins like a dream.

Aaaaaand! Tomorrow night is Grudge Rock, Seattle's premier Rock 'n' Roll Family Feud! Tomorrow night at Re-Bar Scorched Earth takes on Skeletor and the winner walks away with ALL THE DOOR MONEY! The loser gets some prizes too. I've written about Grudge Rock plenty in the past (here, here, and here) and I'm running out of ways to explain how awesome it is. Go! Drink and cheer for your favorite team, er, band!

(And now that Seattle has the Price is Right and Family Feud, can some smart/creative person PLEASE figure out a way to recreate Press Your Luck!? No whammy, no whammy, big money!!)
