The rising stars of the Seattle culinary universe are serving up great
meals -- and, thanks to New Urban Eats, NWsource's totally awesome
dining promotion, you can enjoy an appetizer, entree and dessert at one
of those brilliant upstarts for the paltry sum of $30 per person. It's
more expensive to fill the tank of your Subaru.

Don't be fooled by the name: Dining Out for Life is not a contest prize, but an imperative. When you dine out at one of 150 Seattle restaurants April 24, 30 percent of your bill will benefit Lifelong AIDS Alliance in their fight against HIV and AIDS in the Puget Sound region.

I know you want to stare at the band with your hands in your pockets, unmoving. It's the Seattle way. But that kind of nonsense won't fly for Seattle Soundbite. A lot of good bands will be playing, and there will be excellent "street-style" food on hand to reward your other senses.

Valentine's Day may not be until next Thursday, but this weekend sees dozens of local shops, restaurants and spas beginning to spread the w-u-v a bit early. Whether you choose to celebrate the day or curse its very existence, be assured that the author of this newsletter loves you ... this much. Can you see my arms? I'm holding them really, really far apart.

We want you to show Seattle a good time. Send in your nightlife photos -- pictures of you and your friends, spouses, lovers and relations out on the town. Send us shots of you at karaoke nights, on crowded dance floors, at charity events or just hanging out at your favorite bar, and we'll put them in our new gallery, "Your Nights Out". Don't forget to give names to the faces -- after all, every star that comes out at night has a name.

Monday: Local band Throw Me The Statue is kind of awesome. Their chunky, distortion-heavy indie pop, built on sequenced drum tracks, is reminiscent of Magnetic Fields before they went Broadway and They Might Be Giants before they went ... well, before they went. They're joined this evening by singer-songwriter Damien Jurado, whose innate folkiness provides nice balance to the bill. Check out a great gig tonight at Chop Suey, for just six measly bucks.
