Quick reminder that Seattle Night Out is coming up not this Tuesday, but the following Tuesday, August 5th. As in past years, streets across the neighborhood and the city will be blocked off, card tables and lawn chairs will be hauled out front and folks who have recognized each other as only “that guy with the stubby legged dog” and “that lady that looks like she’s into cosplay” will get tipsy, eat sausages, learn each others names, and share recipes for massaged kale salad.
You don’t need to do anything special to “register” your event, but the mayor’s office did send me this somewhat befuddling request:
We are currently trying to sign up events around the city to be Night Out Events, for the big Seattle Night Out on August 5th.
You guys have your Trivia night event, which would be great to get signed up! Basically what signing up does is put your event on a map with all the other events around the city, for members of the community to meet that night.
Attached is the link to sign up a Night Out Event, which puts your event (the trivia night) on a map with all other events in the city.
I say befuddling because Wallyhood has encouraged Night Out events, but not actually organized them, and definitely not trivia night. But maybe someone else out there in Wallingford has?
Register your trivia night, your pie eating contest, your live band, your Tangletown-to-Gas Works 18 hold disc golf tournament!
Or just use your office copies to run off an announcement, drop it in your neighbor’s mailslots and plan to get neighborly.
