Neighborhood News Roundup
Lunar Colors of the Eclipse by Grundlepuck
- The West Seattle Blog notes, with great pride, that a West Seattle High School alumnus has been chosen to command the next space shuttle mission. We bet that guy's stories will be hard to beat at the next class reunion. "So Greg, what have you been up to?" "Oh not much, just being an astronaut with NASA, commanding space shuttles in, you know, outer space."
- The Slog reports recently-for-sale Capitol Hill club King Cobra is being threatened by the state over their hosting of a semi-professional wrestling night. The state wants King Cobra to obtain a sporting event license to continue hosting the matches. If King Cobra refuses to comply the state is threatening "administrative action" which, we assure you, isn't nearly as scary as Seattle semi-professional wrestler Billy the Fridge.
- The Mid-Beacon Hill blog posted a crime story under the headline "Don't Read This if You're Having a Nice Day" and it was pretty spot on. Don't do it.
- The featured Craigslist Ad of the day--about a seemingly perfect new boyfriend who solemnly admits to seeing "people in other dimensions" in the "clouds behind his eyes"--is funny enough to share with your readers. But, prefacing it with how you used to work on supernatural-related shows on big TV networks is lame, even for you B-Town Blog.
- And lastly, a number of neighborhood blogs have posts about tonight's National Night Out Against Crime. Check your friendly neighborhood blog to see if your street will be closed tonight for a block party. Last year all the annoyance of our street being closed melted away when we realized BBQ, home cooked food, and pleasant conversation with the neighbors came with it.
