It’s not a strip show, it’s burlesque and there’s a big difference

No, it’s not a strip show, it’s burlesque. This Sunday, Siren and the Treasured Chests are presenting what they call their Spring Fling Carnivale at The Austin in downtown Everett. Here’s a description…

The Webster’s dictionary has the following terminology for these words: Carnivale: an instance of merry-making, feasting or masquerading. Fling: to give unrestrainedly. Spring: rebirth, to arise. Now what could that possibly mean to the city of Everett? Well if we smash it all together, add balloons, glitter and de’ lovely tattas we get…..{drum roll please} Everett’s premiere Burlesque show called…”Spring Fling Carnivale”!!!

This event will showcase the talents of Everett’s own Seraphina Fiero! She will be headlining our premiere this coming April. We also have some very special ladies traveling from Seattle and indulging us with their talents. Ava Raqs will be our belly dancer for the evening. She can shimmy and shake with a sword balanced on her head! Randi Rascal and Sailor St. Claire will sure to please with very special act that may include a court jester, a tattooed lady and perhaps something very pink with feathers? The show will also be bringing you a lovely song bird we found who has a set of brass knuckles you won’t believe!

We are fortunate to have Ms. E.M. Temptress back on stage with us as our “Kitten” for the evening. Pearl Pearl the pick-up girl will be running our boutique from the back and Ms. Jules Anslow will be our door mistress. The host for this spectacular will be none other than Siren herself as she welcomes you all to the new home of “Siren and the Treasured Chests”

The show is being held at The Austin at 2820 Oakes Avenue in downtown Everett. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. Showtime is set for 8:00pm and the show runs about an hour and a half. You do have to be at least 18 years of age to attend.

Here’s a preview of the Prohibition Grille Episode of Kitchen Nightmares that will air at 8:00pm, this Friday night on Fox. It was shot in early December in downtown Everett.

Good news for hockey fans in Everett as the Everett Silvertips today announced an extension of their contract with the Everett Public Facilities District to play Comcast Arena at Everett to through the 2018 season.

The Everett Silvertips Hockey Club, Global Spectrum, and the Everett Public Facilities District today announced an extension to the club’s Comcast Arena at Everett lease agreement that will run through the 2017-2018 Western Hockey League season. The new five-year renewal comes on the heels of the club’s initial lease agreement, which spanned ten seasons since the inception of the Silvertips and the construction of Comcast Arena at Everett in 2003.

“We are pleased to renew our lease and continue to be a part of the fabric of the Everett community,” said Silvertips President Gary Gelinas. “We have a community that supports us both on and off the ice, a market where we have built a loyal hockey following and the best fans in the WHL. Our commitment to meeting the needs of our fans and Arena partners will be unwavering as we continue to establish the Silvertips as a top program in the WHL.”

“We are very excited about the years ahead and will do our very best to continue to make this community proud. We wish to thank the EPFD, Global Spectrum and Comcast Arena for their continued support and look forward to working as a partner over the term of this lease and beyond.”

The Silvertips recently completed the 10th Anniversary season of WHL hockey in Everett, a season which culminated in our 10th consecutive WHL playoff appearance. Since the first home puck drop in franchise history at the then-Everett Events Center on October 4, 2003, the ‘Tips have played over 400 regular season and playoff home games in downtown Everett. The team has also hosted scores of preseason contests, tournaments and other team events at Comcast Arena and the Edward D. Hansen Conference Center.

“The Everett Public Facilities District is pleased to renew our partnership with the Everett Silvertips Hockey Club and to continue to provide the ultimate game day experience for their fans,” stated EPFD’s Board President, Gary Weikel. “The Silvertips organization has done a tremendous job building a solid fan base and community support in the area over the past decade. We know the fans will be thrilled to continue enjoying first-rate hockey competition for years to come right here in Everett at Comcast Arena.”

Comcast Arena has presented one of the WHL’s toughest environments on the ice for visiting teams over the past ten years. Nearly 2.4 million fans have enjoyed Silvertips hockey in the building since 2003, good for an average attendance of 5,840 fans per game over the life of the franchise. That fan participation has contributed to the team’s performance, where the Silvertips have enjoyed a .600 all-time winning percentage on their home ice.

The Prohibition Grille transformation airs April 26th.

Back in November we reported on Gordon Ramsay bringing his television show Kitchen Nightmares to Everett. We can now tell you that the episode they shot will air at 8:00pm on Friday April 26th. Ramsay’s crew spent a week in downtown Everett at the Prohibition Grille and when the visit was complete the restaurant had a new menu and a new name, Prohibition Gastropub. Here’s a blurb from the FOX Television Network on what to expect from the Everett visit…

Chef Ramsay is in for a challenge when he heads to Everett, WA, to visit the Prohibition Grille. Professional belly dancer-turned-restaurant owner Rishi is struggling to keep her business afloat and is in desperate need of help. As a result of her lack of prior restaurant experience, Rishi leaves control of the kitchen in the hands of her head chef, who is constantly preoccupied and gives little focus to the restaurant. Constant complaints from customers have Rishi worried, but will she take Chef Ramsay’s advice?
