Life is … fleeting. So much to do, so little time to do it all in. Thus, we prioritize. Hedonism first! There are soooo many fabulous theatre and performance venues in Seattle and its surrounds; recently, there was Book-It‘s Adventures of Huckleberrry Finn Uncensored (April 16th-May 12th, 2013); ACT‘s world premiere of Assisted Living (April [...]

See Desperate Women in Desperate Times Until May 11th, May 15th, & May 18th Respectively

Desperation – a state of feeling or being (or both) without help, without hope. Sometimes this feeling is self-inflicted, and sometimes it is inflicted by another, possibly in a brutally violent way. There is a film, two operas and one monologue currently up for viewing (and reviewing, which your Hedonista is doing based on her [...]

Fruits + Nuts + Chocolate = Chukar Cherries

What do people think of when they think of the words “Washington State” … what words do they associate with this place? Forests? Mountains? The Pacific Ocean? How about wine? Beer? Spirits? Seafood? Apples? How about … cherries, dear hedonists? Apparently Washington State produces approximately 40% of the nation’s sweet cherry production. In 1988, Chukar [...]

Last Days to Feast the Eyes on These

All good things come to an end, dear hedonists. And this week marks the end of a few shows – both stage and screen – that some of you out there might want to catch before they’re gone. (Your Hedonista viewed them all as media.) First, there’s 5th Avenue Theatre‘s Jersey Boys. This musical tale [...]

Recent Taste of the Tri-Cities

Hedonism is everywhere, dear hedonists. Absolutely everywhere. Take the Tri-Cities here in Washington State: Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland/West Richland, for example. What makes this southeastern part of the state so hedonistic? Well, they boast an average of some 300 days of sunshine a year. And arguably the red-wine sweet spot for wine grapes is located [...]

Fling Away at Gig’s Harbor’s The Maritime Inn

Now that Spring is officially in the air, perhaps it’s time to think about a fling. A fling at an inn, for example. Complete with Champagne and chocolates. Wining and dining, even. Enter The Maritime Inn - a boutique hotel that was originally built as a home for the Makovich family – one of the original [...]

The Hen Night Epiphany Wraps Up This Saturday

So many plays … so little time. And all are worth at least a gander. For live performance art is like a direct connect to one’s soul. One play in particular that is worth a look-see this weekend ends it run on Saturday, April 6th, 2013: The Hen Night Epiphany. (Your Hedonista recently attended this [...]

Until May 19th, 2013: Collections of European Masters From Both London and Seattle at SAM

Spring is in the air here in Seattle and the art of nature is in full bloom. Blooms that we only get to see for a limited time, at least until next year. What’s more, this Spring, art from Europe is also in full bloom, dear hedonists, with an exhibition pair that includes one exhibition [...]

The Glass Onion In Goldendale Gastronomically Great

One of the things I enjoy most is discovering new foodie delights in my travels. Unique nuggets of nosh-fulled delights, with the ambiance auras to match. Places one squirrels away for future reference, with the plan to re-visit if/when one is back in the same area. Take The Glass Onion in Goldendale, Washington, for example. [...]
