Multiple unnamed sources have revealed to us that Friday's 100th Birthday of Pike Place Market will be much bigger than advertised. We have been alerted that Hart is to perform as well as several members from (breath) Pearl Jam. Guitarist Mike McCready is already billed as a special guest of The Iconics. The Iconics blend members of POT USA, Possies, and Department of Energy. Artis the Spoonman and many of our favorite buskers are also set to perform all day.The day will kick off with free coffee and onion tartlets at 8am and a Re-enactment of 1907 at 9:30am. The Re-enactment (Think John C Reilly's SNL sketch) will feature Actors from Unexpected Production in period dress. Get in an aerial photo of the market at 12:30, grab some B-day cake shortly after, and get ready for the closing of Western Ave. (like Seattle needs another road closure) for some live music. Oh, and don't miss the Centennial Championship Salmon Toss at 1:45, that's a lock.
Get prepared: Here is the history of Pike Place Market; Watch the event live online at the Seattle Channel; Here is an interactive guide from the LA Times; Here is a story about the ghosts you may encounter in the Market (courtesy the Seattle Times)...
