Quick Clicks> Forgiveness, Hiroshima, Farmers Markets, & Missing Maps
Tuesday, August 16, 2011
The Editors.
Pop-Up Forgiveness. With Spain in the midst of an austerity plan, the NY Times reported that Madrid and the Catholic Church have spent $72 million for festivities centered around the visit of Pope Benedict XVI, which has drawn criticism from many in the city. Among the improvements lavished upon Madrid are 200 pop-up confessional booths in Retiro Park. Perhaps city leaders doling out funds will be among those in line at the booths.
Reminder! Tomorrow, Wednesday August 17th, the International Center of Photography will hold a panel discussion in conjunction with the exhibition Hiroshima: Ground Zero 1945. The discussion will feature authors Erin Barnett, Adam Harrison Levy, and Greg Mitchell who will speak about the exhibition's compelling photographs of post-bomb Hiroshima along with a discussion of censorship and documentation of the the attack.
Fresh Jobs. Data from a USDA report released last week indicated that farmers markets are on the rise in the United States. The report counted 7,175 markets, a 17 percent increase since last year. States with the largest growth were Colorado, Alaska, and Texas, representing a robust local and regional food system. Grist and GOOD broke down the report.
Where's the Map? Transportation Nation asks, Where's the Amtrak map at Penn Station? It seems as though travelers are missing out on the opportunity to visually place their train journeys. As journalist Mark Ovenden said,"maps are part of the journey, and we shouldn't forget that." You can ask for a paper fold-out version, which pales in comparison as its streaking red lines give little real indication of the train's path.
AN Video> Reimagining with Artist Ricardo Cid

With a background in engineering, artist Ricardo Cid uses visualization to understand and reimagine everything from periodic elements to playing the sax. Here he flies through a presentation for the AN staff, leaving us more than a little fascinated, if not, at moments, a little perplexed.
Pictorial> A Nature-Dominated Office in Denver
Monday, August 15, 2011
Branden Klayko.
It might be the latest trend in creative modern eco-office design or, more likely, it's a tongue-in-cheek reminder to avoid letting work take over your life. In the typical modern office with row upon row of geometric cubicles, the closest a worker might get to nature is a small potted plant, a faraway glimpse out a window, or a rainforest background on his or her computer. But a new installation in downtown Denver quite literally breaks down this man-made environment in an effort to promote outdoor activity and a connection to nature during the workday.
Quick Clicks> Aban-dam-ment, Campus Tour, Rooftop Sanctuaries, & Moshe's Fall
Monday, August 15, 2011
Madeleine Lowenthal.
Aban-dam-ment. Atlas Obscura posted several images of the abandoned 1906 Pinawa Dam in Manitoba, Canada on the Winnipeg River. After its decommission in the 1950s, the dam was later used for military training. Quite literally bombed out, the dam stands as a scarred relic and reminder of the once highly functional hydro-electric generating station.
Campus Tour. Architectural Digest compiled a list of top colleges with the best architecture, spotlighting both old and new including UVA's World Heritage-listed campus, Harvard and Yale's 18th century history mixed with modern architecture, and Frank Llyod Wright's presence at Florida Southern College.
International Green. International landscape designers Gillespies developed three "rooftop sanctuaries" that take their visitors around the world. With inspiration drawn from Indonesian, Japanese, and Moroccan traditional gardens, the result was "a series of posh but welcoming spaces ranging from the intimate and serene to the open and flourishing." Inhabitat has a virtual tour.
Moshe's Fall. Architect Moshe Safdie is expecting to open four projects to the public in the next few months. ArtDaily profiled of each of them, including the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, Kansas City (September 16), United States Institute of Peace, Washington (Fall 2011), Khalsa Heritage Centre, Anandpur Sahib, India (Fall 2011), and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, Arkansas (November 11).

Lyonel Feininger: At the Edge of the World
Whitney Museum of American Art
945 Madison Ave. at 75th St.
New York, NY 10021
"The ultimate aim of all artistic activity is the building! Let us desire, conceive, and create the new building of the future together. . . [and it] will one day rise towards the heavens from the hands of a million workers as the crystalline symbol of a new and coming faith," Walter Gropius boldly declared in his 1919 "Bauhaus Manifesto," laying the foundations for a new architecture and a modern approach to design. Seeking to reunite the artist and artisan together, the founders of the Bauhaus looked to medieval guilds as a model for a new design school that would combine the arts and design under one roof.
To illustrate the manifesto, Gropius selected a woodcut by American-born German artist Lyonel Feininger, titled, "Cathedral," an abstracted depiction of a late Gothic church. This collaboration marked Lyonel Feininger's first involvement with the Bauhaus—he would be later hired to teach printmaking—that would continue until the school was closed under pressure from the Nazis in 1933.
Hysteria on Coney Island

Tom Stoelker.
It's almost time to face the mid-August blues, that moment when the back-to-school copy books hit the drug store shelves. Well, there's still time to cram in a few summer day trips. One item at the top of the list should be a visit the recently landmarked Childs Restaurant building, better known as the headquarters for Coney Island USA. There, the freak shows still reign and Zoe Beloff's small show on toy theater dioramas has an extended its run till mid-September.

Prairie Hotel. After a 2-year, $18 million renovation, Frank Lloyd Wright's last standing hotel has reopened in Mason City, Iowa. The Historic Park Inn Hotel is a premier example of the Wright's Prairie style, and features deep hanging eaves and a terra-cotta façade. A massive art-glass skylight drenches the lobby in multi-colored light. More at ArtInfo.
Library of Glass. Although Philip Johnson's Glass House library is transparent, Birch Books Conservation will soon offer the public a view the architect's library without a trip to New Canaan. The non-profit publisher hopes "to preserve the professional libraries of artists, architects, authors, and important public figures through publishing photographic and written research," with an inside look at Johnson's personal collection, reported Unbeige.
Mapping Poverty and Rebellion. The Guardian opened up the recent London riots for debate. Journalist Matt Stiles mapped the newspaper's accumulated data of riot hot spots on a plan of London's neighborhoods. Deep red stands for the British capital's poorest regions, while blue represents the wealthiest communities.
Metro In-The-Middle. The long-awaited Culver City Expo Line station was delayed by a disagreement between Culver City and construction authorities. Now, the two parties have agreed to the $7 million budget increase, which will fund a pedestrian plaza, bike lanes, parking facilities and pavement improvements. More at Curbed LA.

The Leonardo Museum's commission for its new home is part architecture, part artistic innovation.
After years of renovations, Salt Lake City's Leonardo museum is poised to move into its new home in the city's former downtown public library building. Conceived in the spirit of Leonardo da Vinci, the art, science, and technology museum hosted a design competition to create a permanent media wall that would represent its creative mission while serving the programmatic role of dividing two first-floor galleries in the new building. Last summer, the museum awarded the commission to recent Columbia GSAPP graduates Yong Ju Lee and Brian Brush, founders of the New York- and Portland, Oregon-based design and digital fabrication practice SoftRigid. Their installation, Dynamic Performance of Nature, is not only a fluid solution to the building's architectural needs but also a high-tech presentation of real-time environmental data from around the world.
Altschul Atrium at Barnard College
Friday, August 12, 2011
Madeleine Lowenthal.
In collaboration with New York-based common room architects, students at Barnard + Columbia Undergraduate Architecture (b+c a) designed a temporary installation to transform student space at the school's Altschul Atrium.
The Altschul building, a modernist structure built in 1969, sits on the northwest corner of Barnard's campus facing east towards the Weiss/Manfredi-designed Diana Center, which opened in January 2011. The new center houses undergraduate architecture, studio art, and art history departments and has brought increased movement to the center of campus, including students looking for space to sit, read and socialize between class. This addition to the campus has also brought attention to the unused atrium space at Altschul, which houses faculty offices and labs. The the idea behind the atrium installation is to encourage a more interactive relationship with the Altschul space as well as with other neighboring buildings on campus. Students and faculty of b+c a have envisioned an installation that accommodates multi-use programming and one that focuses on the importance of flexibility and function.

The Dallas Police Department launched its new social media push on Monday.
The department is using the hashtag DPDTweetsBIG to get out the message to the public as well as post photos of the new effort.
Dallas police have been using Facebook, but thought expanding to other platforms like Twitter and Pinterest would be a good way to expand its outreach. Chief David Brown had already been using Twitter, but the new effort will add more police personnel to the tweeting effort.
The department also started a new web page, DPDbeat.com, that has information on the latest police news and also has links to the Twitter, Pinterest and Facebook pages.

TUESDAY, Aug. 30 (HealthDay News) -- The amount of lifetime exposure to tobacco smoke significantly correlates with the thickness of carotid arterial walls in both genders, but the impact is more than double in women than in men, according to a study presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress held from Aug. 27 to 31 in Paris, France.
Elena Tremoli, Ph.D., from the University of Milan in Italy, and colleagues compared the effects of tobacco smoke and other factors on carotid artery wall thickness in men and women. The carotid arteries of 1,694 men and 1,893 women were examined by ultrasound for the presence of wall thickening and plaque.
The investigators found that the amount of lifetime exposure to tobacco smoke was significantly associated with the thickness of carotid arterial walls in both genders, with the impact more than double in women compared to men. Similarly, the number of cigarettes smoked per day had more than a five-fold impact on the progression of disease over time in women compared to men. The associations were independent of age, blood pressure, cholesterol level, obesity, and social class. Compared to men who were less-educated, men with more education showed a greater thickening of arterial walls, but this effect was not observed in women. Men, but not women, showed a strong relation between arterial wall thickening and the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cells counts. However, women who smoked heavily showed a similar relationship between CRP and arterial wall thickening as men.
"The reasons for the stronger effect of tobacco smoke on women's arteries are still unknown, but some hints may come from the complex interplay between smoke, inflammation, and atherosclerosis," the authors state.

The results of the 2012 SITA/Air Transport World Passenger Self-Service Survey were released yesterday, and the findings show that passengers want more control of their travel experience, as they look for more self-service and mobile-based offerings to reduce stress during their journey.
The survey included 2,526 passengers from more than 70 countries and focused on airports in Mumbai, Sao Paulo, Frankfurt, Atlanta, Abu Dhabi and Beijing. Here are some of the survey's highlights:
The passenger experience and self-service acceptance
For some, the excitement of air travel has been replaced by more stressful and unpleasant experiences, resulting from crowded airports, rising passenger numbers and increased security checks, according to the survey. However, passengers do not consider all steps of their journey equally challenging.
The main source of stress for passengers is "long wait times and queues," with "unexpected changes/lack of information" and "lack of control" a distant second and third, according to survey results. Passengers consider security, transfer and check-in to be the most stressful steps of the journey.
Passengers are generally positive about using technology to assist them during their travel experience, particularly if it reduces stress, the survey found. Self-service continues to be increasingly popular with passengers, with almost two thirds of those surveyed having used a self-service channel to check in on the day of the survey, up from just more than half last year.
"To understand what can be done to improve travel, we need to understand how passengers feel about travel," said Tom Knierim, senior manager of marketing and insight for SITA, during today's SITA/ATW hosted webinar. "The loss of time is the number one concern. The passenger named lack of info the most challenging. Not having correct information available at the right time or place is a main reason for stress while traveling."
Most attractive self-service technologies
This year, websites dominated as the most frequently used platform for self-check-in, with 79 percent of travelers using them regularly or occasionally, according to survey results. Kiosk usage also increased further, with 77 percent of passengers using them for check-in, underlining the fact that passengers want multichannel self-service.
Almost all passengers interviewed welcomed the idea of automated self-boarding gates and kiosks for flight transfers, along with automated baggage drop.
The notion of using an automated boarding gate has been talked about for years, but only a few airlines have made it reality, Knierim said, and airlines are now including them in plans for the next three years. Passengers ranked this high, with 89 percent voting self-boarding as their top technology.
Automated baggage drop was listed as another one of passengers' top self-service offerings, with 68 percent favoring the option. According to Knierim, automated baggage check-in stations are not yet widely available.
Results from the 2012 SITA/Airline Business and Airport IT Trends surveys reported that 74 percent of airlines and 60 percent of airports plan to offer automated bag-drop by 2015.
"Self-service bag-check and mobile boarding could help overcome stress while traveling," Knierim explained. "The self-service success story is continuing, and the popularity remains high."
Global differences in self-service
There are some cultural challenges to the acceptance of self-service technologies in certain parts of the world, according to officials from the Abu Dhabi airport, which was one of the focus locations for the survey.
"Most families using the Abu Dhabi airport prefer personal attention from staff," said Hamed Al Heshemi, the VP of information and communications at Abu Dhabi Airports Company, during today's webinar. Al Heshemi explained that it is not commonly popular for passengers to want to do more activities, such as baggage check-in and ticketing, themselves.
"There are adoption challenges to self-service as we cater to mix of nationalities," he said.
Subsequently, Abu Dhabi ranked on the low end of self-service progression.
The mobile impact
The mobile phone is now a standard accessory for all passengers, according to survey results, with 70 percent carrying a smartphone, up from 54 percent in 2011.
"We find it is no longer the question of, 'Will mobile transform travel?' but how fast and to what extent will it do so," Knierim said. "2011 was a pivotal year for the mobile industry, the amazing rate that consumers have adopted smartphones. Mobile apps are now offered by 50 percent of airlines, and we expect that to go to 90 percent by 2015."
The usage of mobile check-in and boarding has increased as well, Knierim said, with a strong acceleration occurring this year.
"Multichannel interaction has much become commonplace," he said. "Eighty percent of passengers use both Internet and kiosks. Mobile check-in could be used as frequently as other channels in a few years' time. All in all, passengers welcome the opportunity to move seamlessly across channels."

New Music: The-Dream – 'IV Play'
The-Dream doesn't have time for foreplay. The Radio Killa cuts right to the chase on "IV Play," the sexually-charged title track to his upcoming album.
"I can give a fuck about the foreplay, I want it now/ I'm talkin' straight sex, stop fucking around," demands a horny Dream on the bedroom banger.
Due May 28, IV Play features Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Kelly Rowland, and Big Sean.

A study out today in PLoS Biology finds that termites create oases of biological richness in the African savanna.
It came about because when biologist Todd Palmer, one of the authors on the paper, first got to Africa in 1997, he was researching ants, not termites. Acacia ants, specifically, because three species of them, Crematogaster nigriceps, C. mimosae, and C. sjostedti, all live in symbiosis with acacias.
But as he crawled around scrubby patches of acacia drepanolobium (known as the whistling thorn), he couldn't help but notice that the lushest pockets of the trees tended to cluster around a ring of grass that contained no trees.
It wasn't until another researcher, this time a termite expert from Oxford University in England, came to visit that what he was seeing became clear. She took one look at the rings and said "Those are termite nests."
Most Americans, Palmer among them, have an image of African termite mounds as being tall, pillar-like objects made of red dirt. But in central Kenya the odontotermes montanus termite builds underground mounds that especially in times of drought don't look much different from the rest of the savanna.
"They were literally invisible to me," he says.
But when the drought lifted, the rings quickly become greener and more productive than the surrounding area, standing out like "little pricks of green" as you fly over them, says Palmer. Not only that, but they definitely appeared in a uniform 'polka dot' arrangement.
Palmer, and many others, wondered "that's not a human-made feature, how did these get to be so regular?" What he and fellow researchers writing in this week's edition of the journal PLoS Biologyfound was that localized interactions between species scale up to create specific patterns.
What they showed was the extent to which one species can alter the entire structure and function of an entire ecosystem -– and literally under the noses of ecologists for years, a pattern that was invisible until someone, or a bunch of someone's, started actually paying attention to it.

I am glad overstock gives us the options to write a review on items purchased because 90 percent of my ordering is online and I do pay attention to the reviews, in fact a bad review if too many of the same complaint makes my decision on my purchase. As far as these sheets, they are wonderful! I remember reading reviews and the only thing a few people commented on in any negative way is that they wrinkle, I was thinking to myself you have got to be kidding me!! We just moved into a home and trying to watch money, my brother had given me his California King bed, which meant buying sheets, comforter the whole nine yards! Knowing that a good sheet at that size was going to run me at least 80 dollars, I went to overstock.com. I got two sets of these sheets for under the price of one set at other stores. The color matched perfectly with the picture on the site. As far as wrinkling, well I washed them before I put them on my bed, they did not get wrinkled until I laid on them, lol Thank you again overstock.com! I will continue to buy from you!
I bought these sheets as an impulse buy on Black Friday. When they arrived, I was disappointed in myself for ordering 350 thread count sheets as I normally prefer a much higher thread count. But, I was surprised that these sheets are so soft. This just goes to show you that thread count isn't everything. This is high quality Egyptian cotton sateen. I got the paprika color and it is a very rich burnt orange/rust color, not too orange. And, of course, as always with overstock, they arrived promptly and in excellent condition.
These sheets are egyptian cotton which is what I was looking for . However as others have noted, they do wrinkle a lot, which does not bother me, after all they are cotton and quite soft, definitely not "crisp". They fit my mattress just fine, but it is an older mattress and not several feet thick :)) The top sheet could be a little more ample in width, it is just barely wide enough. Since I was looking for an inexpensive set of good cotton sheets, these are exactly that. For the price I have not seen better. If you are budget minded, these will do.
I loved these sheets initially. They were soft and the color was great but after a few washes they pilled really bad. I wouldn't even care if they just looked pilly because they are covered by my duvet but when I am in laying in bed I can feel all the little pill balls. I would not recommend these sheets if they are going to be washed often.
I expected a smooth, soft texture from the thread count of these sheets. Instead it was scratchy and unpleastant to the touch. Of the three sets I ordered, I returned two. I would have returned them all, but I had washed the one set to see if that would soften the texture--it did not. And it ended up extremely wrinkled and was difficult to iron. The return fee charges also were excessive. I will think very carefully before I order anythink from Overstock again.
The sheets are ok. The seam came out the first time I washed them. They are for my spare room so it's not that big of a deal.
I thought this was a great price for a sheet set, especially Egyptian cotton 350 thread count. It came quickly from Overstock, I took them out of the package and washed them before I put them on my bed. They came out of the dryer Extremely wrinkled (but they are cotton). As I stretched the fitted sheet around my mattress, the elastic broke on the last corner. I have an average thickness mattress. The elastic was threaded loosely through a pocket, not sewn directly to the fabric as every other fitted sheet is that I have ever seen. Very cheap construction. Useless to me now, and I can't return because I washed them. Spend a little extra money and get a better set.
I ordered these because they were 300 thread count and the right price. But they are such poor quality they are not worth what I paid. They came out of teh package feeling somewhat soft, but after the first wash the somewhat softness had worn off and they are very scratchy and the stitching cam undone on two places, so there are holes. This is after washing only, they never made it to the bed. I am returning them.
This is a perfect sheet for hot, humid summer climates. A/C went out last week and don't think it would have been tolerable on any other kind of sheet. It is however not what I would call sky blue. At least not Carolina blue. Maybe the sky is that color in Egypt.
The sheets are okay. They wrinkle A LOT! They are not as soft as I imaged they would be, but they are fine for the price.

EsPRESSo: Efficient Privacy-Preserving Evaluation of Sample Set Similarity
Conferences & Talks
7th International Workshop on Data Privacy Management (DPM 2012)
13 September 2012
In today's digital society, electronic information is increasingly shared among different entities, and decisions are made based on common attributes. To address associated privacy concerns, the research community has begun to develop cryptographic techniques for controlled (privacy-preserving) information sharing. One interesting open problem involves two mutually distrustful parties that need to assess the similarity of their information sets, but cannot disclose their actual content. This paper presents the first efficient and provably-secure construction for privacy-preserving evaluation of sample set similarity, measured as the Jaccard similarity index. We present two protocols: the first securely computes the Jaccard index of two sets, the second approximates it, using MinHash techniques, with lower costs. We show that our novel protocols are attractive in many compelling applications, including document similarity, biometric authentication, genetic tests, multimedia file similarity. Finally, we demonstrate that our constructions are appreciably more efficient than prior work.

Rivers and Streams
NPS photo
While visiting the park's historical district, walk past John Brown's Fort, under the Winchester and Potomac Railroad bridge, and out to the Point. From here one can observe the two rivers that border either side of the town. On the left lies the Potomac River and to the right lies the ShenandoahRiver. About 360 million years ago, the Potomac began cutting its way through the Appalachian Mountains, forming the water gap that lies between Maryland and LoudounHeights. After the Appalachians were worn down, run-off water collected at their base, forming the ShenandoahRiver. When visiting Harpers Ferry today, one can see how the Shenandoah and Potomac gracefully come together, flowing eastward to the Chesapeake Bay as the Potomac River.

Ovarian Cancer Health Center
Chemotherapy Glossary: What Is My Cancer Doctor Talking About?
Cytotoxic: Substances, such as chemotherapy drugs, that damage or kill cells.
Delayed nausea: Feeling nauseated one to five days after chemotherapy treatment.
Extravasation: The leakage of chemotherapy drugs from the veins into the surrounding tissues, which can damage the affected tissues.
First-line chemotherapy: Chemotherapy drugs that are given first, because research has shown them to be most effective for treating a particular type of cancer, such as ovarian cancer.
Fractionated-dose chemotherapy: A form of chemotherapy in which the dose is broken up into smaller amounts and given over three to five days, rather than being given as one large dose.
Growth factors (also called colony stimulating factors): Substances that stimulate bone marrow to produce white blood cells, the immune system cells that protect the body from infection. Chemotherapy can damage bone marrow, reducing the number of white blood cells available to fight infection. Taking growth factor can help people who are receiving chemotherapy better tolerate their treatment.
Gynecologic oncologist: A doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating cancers of the female reproductive system, including ovarian, cervical, and uterine cancers.
Infusion: The slow delivery of fluid (such as chemotherapy drugs) into a vein.
Intralesional chemotherapy: A treatment in which the chemotherapy medications are delivered directly into the tumor (cancerous growth).
Intramuscular chemotherapy: A treatment in which chemotherapy is delivered directly into a muscle.
Intraperitoneal chemotherapy: A treatment in which chemotherapy is delivered directly into the abdomen.
Intravenous: Medication or liquid that is given through a needle into a vein. Chemotherapy is often delivered intravenously (through an IV).
Leukopenia: An abnormally low white blood cell count. Chemotherapy can reduce the white blood cell count by damaging the bone marrow where these cells are produced. White blood cells are a necessary part of the immune system because they help fight infection.
Metastasis: The spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body through the bloodstream or lymphatic system.
Mucositis: Sores that form on the linings (mucous membranes) of the mouth, throat, and other parts of the digestive tract. Mucositis can occur from chemotherapy treatment, when the chemotherapy drugs attack cells lining the gastrointestinal tract.
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy: Chemotherapy that is given before surgery, radiation, or another treatment to shrink the cancerous tumor.
Neutropenia: A decrease in infection-fighting white blood cells called neutrophils that can occur from chemotherapy treatment. Neutropenia can lead to an increased risk for infection.
Neutrophil: A type of white blood cell that helps the body fight infection.
Oncologist: A doctor who specializes in the treatment of cancer.
Oncology nurse: A nurse who cares for cancer patients.
Oral chemotherapy: Chemotherapy that is taken by mouth.
Palliative chemotherapy: Chemotherapy that relieves the pain and other symptoms of cancer but does not cure the disease.

The Eastside Club

4.03/5 rDev -7.4%
I stopped at the Eastside Club while on a business trip in the Olympia area.
Atmosphere is a little seedy and rundown. No smells to speak of. I'm glad we have the smoking ban, or I suspect this place would be unbearable.
Quality was very good. A lot of quality bres from the region and up and down the west coast primarily.
Service was outstanding. The bar keep knew a lot about the beer and was willing to share information, even though he was very busy. The only real problem is the place is a cash only business. No plastic.
Selection was very good and varied. Only problem was it was hard to tell what was available. There was a lot to choose from, the taps were spread around the place and the selections and specials were written on various white boards behind the bar.
Food: N/A
Value is OK depending on what you have and what you like. I had a Pliny the Elder for $5.50 but there were others for $3.75. A daily special at $3.25.
The place reminded me a little of the Viking in Spokane. It's just a beer destination, or pool I guess. But you can find some stiff on tap, Russian River for instance, that is not real common in Washington.

It's Myyy kinda town! Hey yo anyway, day to night this place is a different animal. Daytime's easy breezy, light traffic, always amazing stuff, some 1 on 1 time with the bartenders, who are damn near all friendly folk. The weeknights are hit or miss business wise, Thursdays are always jammed, especially during the school year and there's usually music most nights, ranging in styles but almost always good and never an unreasonable cover.
40ish taps, who knows how many and a decent bottle selection for there or to go. Recently put in 5-6 new taps for more specialty stuff. Nearly always have Pliny on, plenty of regular rotation micros, lots of seasonal turnover stuff, constant rotation, and the beer always tastes fresh.
New cask every Tuesday, 2.50 pints for half the beers on Thursdays, otherwise, for the most part, 3.50 pints. I will miss this place dearly when I'm gone.

I stopped in for a beer while in Olympia on business.
The Eastside is a local beer bar that has a comfortable atmosphere and a thorough selection of northwest and west coast beers. There were quite a few people in the place for a Wednesday evening and the crowd had a good energy. They have at least 30 on tap so it was a tough choice but I went with a Pliny the Elder. I enjoyed it but it didn't seem as fresh as others I've had.
The local beers were very reasonable but the less common ones were a bit pricier. The bartender was attentive, upbeat and knowledgeable.
The Eastside is well worth a visit if you're into northwest craft beer.

The eastside is my regular beer bar. They have 30 something taps(CO2, nitro, cask), a big bomber selection, some dusty bottles of wine, and some cool servers.
They have 4 places where the beer is listed, one of bombers, one of regular taps, one of seasonal, and one of premium stuff. The premium stuff has ranged from three year old barleywines to Russian River stuff since I started going there.
They have a thursday night 2.50 pint night, as well as a free pool day and a rotating tap on special.
There is a little window in the back of the bar that opens to the kitchen of a greesy spoon next door. It used to be The Clubside, which served some disgustingly sublime hotwings. Now it's a cajun joint called A2. I do not suggest it. Instead, you can have burritos from Quality Burrito delivered to the bar and the delivery guy will bring it in and find you.

The Eastside is one of my favorite places in the world. And with no smoking, the friendly atmosphere is even better.
Eclectic/dated decoration abounds. Little has changed over the years since Babe was alive, though years of smoke have dirtied up his walls.
Babe's grandson Adam is the current manager. All bartenders are friendly, and tend to know their beer. This place is laid back, most customers are regulars.
Selection and price are the perhaps the highlight of this place. They have 36 taps serving almost all microbrew. Note that they do not sell anything affiliated with Bud. This appears to be due to their clientele - if a microbrewery gets bought by AB or enters into a distribution agreement with them, the rumor is that the Evergreen students boycott the place. Not 100% sure if this is true, but it would explain why there are no Redhook or Alaskan products here.
They also have a nitro tap and always have something delicious on cask, which is particularly nice.
There ARE a few american macro-crap-lagers here, but they are displayed on a low shelf behind the bar.
Plenty of pool tables, the food through the window of the Clubside Cafe is VERY good, and you can even do your laundry here!
Happy hour is from 4-7 every day - pints are $2.50, with regular price only $3.00
Pints are also $2.25 all day on Monday and $2.50 all day on Thursday.

The Eastside Club is THE place to go in Olympia if you like GOOD beer at a reasonable price. Thursday nights are Thirsty Thursdays and they offer pints for $2.25 each. It used to be simply $2 a pint but... inflation and all... you know...
They have over 30 micros on tap and usually have the Deschutes Obsidian Stout on Nitrous! Very tasty! The menu is constantly changing so it's never boring to visit often. They maintain everything very well and I never have a bad pint poured for me. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly even during the busiest of times.
Food is available through a window in the back leading next door to the Clubside Cafe. The Clubside Cafe has the most authentic and tasty Philadelphia Cheesesteak Sandwiches in the northwest, and the rest of their menu is damned fine as well. Excellent grub to go with that can be ordered from the window. They hand you a nice little coaster that buzzes and vibrates when your order is up.
I highly recommend visiting the Eastside if you are in the area. It has lots of heritage, the best pool tables, a ping pong table, air hockey, a few arcade games, darts, nice people, great staff, and a whole ton of microbrew on tap. They even have a lot of stuff in bottle they will sell to go and they do growlers! Don't pass it up!

The Eastside Club has been my regular haunt in Olympia for longer than I care to remember. Ive probably been drinking there since the days I had to use a fake ID, probably 20 years or more. The place has a lot of personal history for me that includes a long roster of misty watercolored memories. (Cue music. No wait, dont cue music.)
The point of it is theres not too many places in this world you can run into folks youve known for twenty years. Theres fewer places still where you would want to run into folks youve known for twenty years. But the Eastside Club is one such place for me and I cant help but attach a lot of personal sentiment to the place.
All that aside, its a humble little joint; one might even call it grungy. Hell, Kurt Cobain used to live just five blocks from this place (on Pear Street). There are two beer boards behind the bar; one listing 17 regular taps, the other listing 15 seasonals. Theyre almost entirely northwest microbrews ranging no further than California with perhaps a Fat Tire thrown in for good measure. They take great pride in refusing to stock Bud or Coors here. If you need some swill, you can probably get a stubby of Oly (now brewed in Milwaukie or some such place). Theres no booze here but decent food service can be had through a window that opens to the café next door.
Mondays and Thursdays are cheap beer nights and they draw a crowd. Micro Monday, as they call it, used to feature $1.75 pints of great NW micro beers like Jolly Roger. Its probably up to $2.50 by now but still hard to complain. Youll find about 7 pool tables here, air hockey, ping-pong, video games, and a great jukebox. Theres also lots of hippy folk, revolutionaries, people you shouldnt lend money to, free wifi, and now free live music on Mondays. This is a great bar for reasons I hope you come to appreciate.
