The Seattle International Children's Festival became Giant Magnet last year. It's a weeklong event, happening as we speak in Seattle - but on Monday it condenses itself into a mini version and packs into the Pantages - for a day of kid-friendly fun concluding with a performance by Black Violin, an awe raising fusion of classic violin and hip- hop beats.
