TUILE BATTER AND PICKLE BRINE ANYONE?: Author Tod Davies reads from Jam Today: A Diary of Cooking with What You've Got at the University Book Store.

The ethics pissing match surrounding the Seattle Fire Department finally came to a halt, after the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission determined fire lieutenant Milton Footer abused his power while working at Qwest Field. Milton was accused of soaking up free parking passes and concert tickets, and giving the "gimme or else" attitude to get his hands on Hannah Montana backstage passes. In return, he didn't bill Qwest Field for $200,000 in fire services. Eyebrows had been raised over Milton's actions over the years, that just so happened to be overlooked by Fire Chief Gregory Dean--who received a slap on the wrist from the Mayor. The actions by Milton only came under investigation after a whistleblower, a fellow fire fighter, brought the claim to the Superior Court in March.

We've been hitting shows on the Seattle music scene for about four years now, and if there's one thing we can say with certainty, it's that Seattle doesn't need more musicians, it needs ones.
