Greenwood Mail & Dispatch is much bigger than its Ballard parent. It has more PO boxes, a bigger coffee counter, more table seating, and their "laptop bar" is nonpareil. I'd even swear that it's got a better stereo.

Full Throttle Bottles has everything you could want to pour down your gullet, affordably-priced and ready to move. And it also has a rideable elephant such as the kind one used to find grazing in front of supermarkets. Rides on "Tusko" costs only a dime, and if you leave the premises without springing for a ride on this possibly bibulous pachyderm you're missing the point of Full Throttle, of Georgetown and very possibly of life itself.

What do you get when you mix the star of "Juno," two bands with brothers in them, a brainy rollerderby team, a bunch of music critics, a Brazilian DJ, a great spiritual leader and Dave Matthews? I'll tell you: Either you get what's happening this week in Seattle, or the most audacious remake of "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" yet attempted.

Monday: Local singer-songwriters Jean Mann, Jill Cohn
and Willow are among this town's most talented performers. Normally you'd
have to pay to see each of these mighty folksingers in separate clubs ... but
tonight, at Ballard's amazing Tractor Tavern, you can enjoy sets by all three
for the low, low price of $12. That's only four dollars per genius, a savings of
more than 80 percent of what you'd pay to see any one of these future superstars
on stage at the Paramount. Act now!
