- ZOMG! A peek at Throw Me the Statue’s new album, which comes out next week. [mbv]
- the Seattle P-I’s website & blogs are really really popular [slog] and Hearst owns the URLs [slog] and recently paid a visit to take a look at the company in person. [publicola]
- Monqui is starting to promote shows as early as 20 March for the Crocodile (and its shiny new logo [twitter]). No offense to “bluegrass pioneers” Hot Buttered Rum and Everybody Orchestra, but I’m hoping that they aren’t the opening night show. [soundonthesound]
- Stop the presses: a bartender at Vessel, a swank bar that rightly prides itself on classic and inventive cocktails, frowned upon a pair of customers who dashed in for intermission tequila shots. [voracious]
- Science suggests that NARN turn their efforts from protesting liver outside lark toward following the path that brought ethics to laboratory experiments on animals. [dearscience]
The Vessel story is appalling. If I were the bartender I might very well have told them "we don’t do shots". I love how egalitarian Seattle and Seattle-ites are, in general, but sometimes that very quality becomes a weird sort of entitlement and disrespect. I was annoyed enough to leave a comment, too, which means I just killed 100 of my own brain cells.
That write-up actually made me more likely to go to Vessel. I got no problem with a bar that’s willing to let someone know when they’re too trashy to be there. Vessel’s a classy joint, way too classy for slamming shots of cheap tequila.
I know. The whininess of the poster and the resolve of the bartender made me like it even more.
