It's a sex and violence kind of week. We offer burlesque, burglary, holdups and hijinks. And lots of other neighborhood news.

Beer at the Bourbon with live music by Simon & Ben

Momentum partners with the Bourbon Bar @ Columbia City Theater to present Beer at the Bourbon. Bringing together residents from our community in an engaging and enjoyable atmosphere, Beer at the Bourbon serves as an opportunity to bring local, craft beer and music to Columbia City and SE Seattle.

Beer at the Bourbon is a unique way to feature a Seattle brewery in our community. Not only drinking beer, but also learning about the beer from the people who create it is important. Beer at the Bourbon goes even further with live music throughout the night by local musicians. No need to go to another part of town for your music and beer needs, it's all taken care of at the Bourbon.

benefit concert and silent auction for Drew Grow

We've got a big week at Columbia City Theater with events that are near and dear to our hearts. On Friday night we're celebrating one of five CD releases in the month of February with local band Yuni in Taxco and Saturday we're hosting a benefit for dear friend of the theater Drew Grow & The Pastors' Wives to help him get back on his feet after a nasty car accident this January.

Brainstormers house concert -- great old time music

Wednesday, February 23rd, 7:30pm
At Bruce & Bonnie's House near Columbia City

The Brainstormers (Tom Sauber, Mark Graham, Patrick Sauber) provide the very best in southern old time music of all sorts, along with Mark's most recent songs. And they're playing at our house (Bruce & Bonnie's) near Columbia City.

Former Columbia City resident, Mark Graham, is a local hero, known internationally for his mastery of the harmonica and equally for his witty, quirky song writing on subjects ranging from Oedipus Rex to the current hard times and everything in between.

This month, we will hold a joint meeting with the Greater Duwamish District Council. We will hear from SDOT on the Transit Master Plan. What is the difference between 2005 Seattle Transit Plan versus the Transit Master Plan? What are the goals, how was outreach done, what were the responses from the web survey? And much more.

We will also learn about Code for America and Seattle Communities Online. What are these programs and how could they help member organizations better communicate with the City and each other?
