Spokane is an amazing historic city in far eastern Washington. The Riverfront Park features stunning huge waterfalls. The downtown is very walkable. Towering ponderosa pines give it a feel more of the Rocky Mountains than the Cascades. The basalt lined Spokane River features a lengthy bike and hike trail. It combines an urban feel with the best of the outdoors. The new 40 mile Centennial Trail starts in Riverside State Park and runs all the way to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

Michael Weiss is directing The Boys in the Band at PACA, Mart Crowley's 1968 play that premiered just a year before the Stonewall Riots. According to a 26-year-old review by Caleb Mazzocco, "You are invited to a party where you don't get to try the cracked crab or eat lasagna, you can't drink or dance or converse with the guests, nor can you have a piece of birthday cake. What you can do is sit quietly in the dark and watch the rest of the guests portray a nearly 60-year-old piece of gay history that's an alternately funny and emotional play about 9 men and the birthday party from hell."
