your Wikli-fix: WikliLeaks

This week we bring you a trove of documents classified "community". Like our more infamous wiki-brethren, we've been kinda preoccupied this week. But most of the leaks we've encountered are in our basement, and the only bail we've made has been in buckets.

But we've got our share of exposés about human rights, human nature, and much more.

The Wikli will be on holiday hiatus for a couple weeks. As always, the site remains open to all the neighborhood insights you're looking to share. Enjoy the rest of 2010. See you on the other side of New Year's.

celebrate 2010 and the New Year at Columbia City Theater

We got lots going on the last few weeks of 2010 at Columbia City Theater, the place to be to ring in 2011. And there are so many ways to celebrate with us: enjoy a drink and a bite off our new menu at The Bourbon, join us for a battle of the minds at Tuesday Night Trivia with Tony Kay or see one of the wonderful upcoming shows.

Tuesday: Trivia Night with Tony Kay at 8pm and all-day happy hour!
Wednesday: Absolute Karaoke in the Bourbon Bar
Sunday: Free live music at 7pm

Celebration!

Sunday, Dec 19th, 4-5:15pm @ Rainier Community Center, 4600 38th Ave S

Valley & Mountain Fellowship, an inclusive church in Columbia City, will be holding its first Celebration event on Dec 19th from 4-5:15pm. Celebration is a fluid, participatory, alternative spiritual service that recognizes that we all have different ways of experiencing the sacred.

Celebration proceeds like this: First, after a welcoming song, we break into four groups for 20-30 minutes, depending on your preference (meditation, arts, service, and yoga). Second, we regather for a song and a reflection. Third, we eat a meal around tables and discuss our experiences and the reflection, before closing with a song.

local, independent owners... show 'em your love

This holiday season, the Columbia City Business Association is highlighting many of our local, independent owners. It's our hard-working, local business owners, weathering storms of the economic and drain-clogging kind, who enhance the fabric of this community and help create the relationships and connections that mean so much to all of us.

So greet a local owner today! Click here to check out the up-close and personal faces of many local, independent owners. And while you're shopping in Columbia City, you will find window posters featuring "Local Owners' Holiday Specials".

theology on tap: the question of human nature

Wednesday, Dec 15th, 8-9:30pm @ Awash, 3808 S Edmunds

Every other Wednesday a diverse group gathers at Awash Restaurant to discuss one of life's Great Mysteries over drinks and tasty Ethiopian food.

This Wednesday we'll be taking on the question of human nature. Are we naturally good but corrupted by culture? Are we greedy and selfish but tamed by society? A mix of both? How does our answer to this question affect our real lives?

Our format is: brief introductions, 5-8 minutes where someone shares several deep responses to the Great Mystery from brilliant theological/philosophical minds from history, then the floor is opened for discussion. Finger food is provided for free, drinks are up to individuals.
