If The Sopranos took place in Seattle, we always imagined the mob haunts would be in industrial south Seattle, with the Bada Bing on Airport Way South. So the report of a body being dumped out of a moving vehicle at Ninth Avenue South and South Dakota Street at 7:30 this morning sits well with our seedy visions.

The ever-dangerous folk music festival scene strikes again! While we were enjoying Sasquatch and the teeming crowds of drunks it brings, there was apparently a shooting at the peace-and-love-in that is the Folklife Festival. The most intense thing at the Folklife that we knew and loved were over-enthusiastic marimba players and drum circles. Apparently, times have changed. Three people were injured on Saturday when a fight broke out near a drum circle. According to witnesses, one of the men engaged in the fight tried to pistol whip another brawler, and the gun went off. The Folklife version of the magic bullet traveled through a man's nasal passage, another man's hand, and finally ended up stuck in a woman's leg.
