Seattle comedian David Crowe will be appearing for a special show at the Chateau Westport. A 20 year veteran of the comedy stage, David has been described as having a "nerdy charisma that is utterly captivating." Don’t miss this very enjoyable evening. Details and ticket info here.
• Aug 21 - Total Eclipse Of The Sun (near-total in Washington)
That’s right! Even the Sun and Moon are gettin’ jiggy with it, dancing in celebration of our 20th Anniversary! Monday morning will see the first total eclipse viewable on the entire US mainland in 25 years. So stay an extra day here in Westport, and watch the early morning event on the beach before heading home. What a great way to cap off a wonderful weekend.
