According to the Slog, there is a man on Broadway (and likely other men/women stationed elsewhere in the city) who is misleading voters into signing a petition to “get the bag tax initiative on the ballot” by letting them think that the VERY WISE and environmentally imperative initiative to charge 20 cents per plastic bag [...]
KEXP BBQ Is Dandy-ish
This past weekend the Mister and I went to the KEXP BBQ. There were some bullshit moments including shrinking beer cups, and the show starting late thereby forcing the Dandy Warhols (who were the headliners and our whole reason for being there) to cut their set short. There were some typical Seattle tragedies such as [...]
Those Sexy Panhandlers
Pineapple Express star James Franco says that to prepare for his upcoming role as a homeless man in City by the Sea, he lived on the street for a whole weekend! With a sign! No, that sign didn’t say “I’m not Dreamboat James Franco.” It said “Homeless, Please Help” and apparently garnered him $20 in [...]

But Specialties isn’t the only lunch delivery game in town. There’s also Harried and Hungry. If you’re dining in, you’ll note the ‘harried’ [...]
I’m Sold on Virgin
When I first heard that Richard Branson was opening an American version of his airline, Virgin Atlantic, I wondered if it would be as top notch as his European line. American airlines are SO unpleasant these days but they blame it all on gas prices. Since Virgin America would be using the same gas, would [...]
