ONE SINGULAR SENSATION: James D. Stern and Adam Del Deo's award-winning documentary Every Little Step is finally in Seattle, and we think musical and film lovers alike will get a kick out of this new hit. The film follows the legacy of A Chorus Line, through four decades of amazing actors, behind-the-scenes dramas, and variations on the international musical favorite. Every Little Step is also the first documentary in Broadway history to be allowed filming privileges throughout the extensive audition process for last year's recent revival, showing anything and everything that is A Chorus Line. (4:15), 7:15, 9:35 p.m. // Harvard Exit, 807 East Roy // Tickets: $7-9.50

Hey, we need more PRIDE in our Seattlest Flickr Pool! (Use "pride 2009" as a tag.)

• Nothing brings out the masses quite like a weekend full of full throttle, glittery, sweaty, and crazy fun events including Seattle Pride Parade, Rock 'n' Roll Marathon, and the Greenwood Car Show.
• Whatever happened to childproof locks? Friday evening a 4-year-old girl in Tacoma decided to open the door of the family minivan while her mom was driving. The young girl fell out and was run over by the back tires, later treated with non-life-threatening injuries.
• On Sunday 1,000 people gathered to moonwalk together on Jackson Street in Union Station paying tribute to Michael Jackson, the "King of Pop."

SDOT has just sent us a freaking packed list of weekend events that will result in traffic jams, parking space jams, and closed-street jams. Capitol Hill is basically closed to cars starting tonight, and that's not counting the Greenwood Car Show, Rock 'n' Roll Marathon, Children's Ride, or the Sounders game.

Even the subtle gesture of hanging a rainbow pride flag won't get past the eyes of those who maintain the integrity iconic look of the Pike Place Market. Recently, the Market-based Daily Dozen Doughnut Company had their hands slapped by the image freaks of the Pike Place Preservation and Development Authority and Historical Commission, mainly because the small doughnut stand had hoisted--without the market's historical commission's approval--a 2'x3' rainbow flag to support Pride Week. The flag has since been taken down and we too question, why such a big ol' fuss? Until we find out more, we'll go with "rainbow" isn't a part of Pike Place Market's approved color schematics.
