I went last year (for free!) and it was awesome...and I can walk to Seattle Center from my apartment. I even had the "bonus" of the sweet, sweet sounds of the Wu-Tang clan blaring into my apartment window at 11 PM at night.
The Golem of Prague is an old story of a Rabbi who animates a clay statue. It starts out protecting the Jews from persecution but I think it turns on its creator (as happens in the movies). Don't know about the Frank Black aspect, but sounds interesting.
