Circus Contraption's resident stuntman and drummer, Bunny LaMonte, had his costume stolen from the TK Artists Lofts' laundry room yesterday. It was designed and built from scratch for "The SHOW to End All SHOWS," which goes up at 8 p.m. tonight and runs through May. "Boy, do we need that costume. It will really be embarrassing if the Bunny is in his underwear in front of the 160 or so people who have already purchased tickets for tonight," says Erin. "I will offer two comps and two free drink tickets to any show for information leading to the return of the Bunny Suit. No questions asked."
Give the Bunny Costume Back Right Now

Bank Robber Makes Off With WaMu JPMorganChase Money
What a breaking news afternoon we're having. We were alerted by @thesouthlake's tweet about a 3:30 p.m. bank robbery at the WaMu at 5th and Union downtown. KING 5 says the robber says he left a bomb behind, which means he has also left a lot of snarled traffic behind. The suspect is "in his 30s with no facial hair and no glasses," which leaves us out because we're wearing glasses and have been all day. Anyway, that block of 5th is shut down until they sort it out.
