As the ravages of climate change reek havoc on our planet, those of us lucky enough to live in Seattle, where the worst we’ve experienced (thus far) is blood red suns, smoke-filled air and ash raining from the sky, have to do what we can for those not so lucky. With Irma tearing up Florida, it’s easy to forget that those in Houston are just beginning a long ordeal of putting their city back together as the waters recede.

Can’t think of a better way to support those in need than listening to great local music on a bill topped off by the one and only Pickpocket Revue. Cover is an $8 minimum donation with all proceeds going to the Houston Food Bank. It all goes down this Saturday, September 16 at Conor Byrne Pub in Ballard. Music starts at 8:30pm. See ya’ll there. You can RSVP here.
