Best Bets for Dec. 9 – 11 | THE BAINBRIDGE BLAB
Published 1:30 am Thursday, December 8, 2016
“On the first day of Christmas, my best mate gave to me, a platypus up a gum tree…” Wait, you don’t know the Twelve Days of Aussie Christmas??? What about the Twelve Days of BPA Christmas? “A Christmas Story, the Musical” continues this weekend with performances at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Make sure you wear your ugly holiday sweater; you might just win a prize. Tickets are $21 to $29, depending on your job and season of life.
Mary Ellen Hannibal has hopped from one rainy city to another to explain the meaning of citizen science. In her new book, the activist-author “wades into tide pools, follows hawks and scours mountains to collect data on threatened species while discovering a heroic cast of volunteers and the makings of what may be our last, best hope in slowing an unprecedented mass extinction.” Stop by Eagle Harbor Book Co. at noon on Saturday to catch Hannibal’s talk.
Jelly Bread will make you want to jam. But instead of peanut butter, they’ll stuff you with four-part harmonies, drum and bass grooves and swampy lap steel guitar, 8 p.m. Saturday at the Treehouse Café. $15.
