We were lucky enough to catch Village Theatre's My Heart is The Drum on opening night last week and it was remarkable. It's truly transcendent! A highly engaging and entertaining musical with an outstanding cast. GO SEE IT! Tickets are still available here.
WIGSTOCK
FRIDAY AT TONY V'S GARAGE
Fact: It's impossible to not have fun in a room full of people in goofy wigs. Wigstock is the most fun fundraiser (fun-raiser) you'll ever attend. Grab a wig, head to Tony V's and get down to local music with a bunch of other people in wigs. Proceeds benefit cancer patients. Details here.

THE EVERETT FARMERS MARKET!!
SUNDAY AT BOXCAR PARK
HECK YES. The Everett Farmers Market opens on Sunday. Load up on farm-fresh goodness, score mom some flowers (it's Mother's Day, remember?) and hang out next to the water whilst enjoying some ah-mazing tacos from our favorite taco truck, Los Chilangos. We literally cannot wait! BTW, the market is going to be held at at Boxcar park now. More info here.
EAT + DRINK
The April EVVY Awards just wrapped and we're tallying votes for Everett's best burger. Thanks to everyone who voted. We'll announce the winner on the blog this week. Stay tuned!
We stopped in Sol Food this weekend for happy hour. We sat out back on their amazing patio with a couple margaritas and some plantain chips. It was perfect. Their patio on a sunny day makes you feel like you're on vacation in a tropical paradise. Also, we think their 'Sol Sauce' may be the most delicious condiment in the world.
ON THE BLOG
We went on the Hewitt Burger Run and lived so Brad could tell about it. Read it here.
Doug Evans shared about Everett's growing art scene, specifically about the first Everett Pop-up Arts show. Check it.
We hosted an open house on Sunday that had the most remarkable view of the water.

People often think we're funded by the businesses we write about, or the city, or the shirts we sell, etc. The truth is, we pay for it.
