Sunday evening Cafe Racer/shootings events, and beyond (UPDATE)

You can’t throw a rock these days without hitting a memorial or benefit for victims of last week’s/this year’s violence, and that is exactly how it should be: So much love and support in the community right now, the very air is thick with it.

Tonight there are a number of events around town that we mention below. For events beyond this weekend, we urge you to bookmark this post on Roosiehood (“Benefits and fundraisers for victims of Cafe Racer shootings”), and/or join the Cafe Racer Benefit Facebook group.

UPDATE: There is also the newly started website, Cafe Racer Love, keeping track of events and benefits.

The Church Council of Greater Seattle, Saint Mark’s Cathedral, and St. James Cathedral invite you to an Interfaith Prayer and Procession for Healing. The service will begin at Saint Mark’s Cathedral at 6 p.m. We will then proceed in a peaceful procession to St. James Cathedral (9th Ave. and Marion St. – downtown Seattle), where the service will continue and conclude shortly after 8 pm.
We invite all to come to join in prayer, song and community for any part of this gathering. Please bring a candle which will mark the light of hope in which we walk.

About the Racer Sessions (website):

We collectively organize weekly sessions for new, experimental music. The purpose is to give musicians of all ages and backgrounds the opportunity to interact and inspire each other, while establishing a community-accessible home for our music, which would otherwise only exist in classrooms, basements, outer space etc.

Every Sunday, at Cafe Racer, the curator of the week will debut a piece of new music, which will be followed by a free improv session based mostly, partially, or not at all on the music that was presented.

No curator this week, but the Sessions go on.
