Yesterday, eleven gay bars on Capitol Hill (and one alt weekly, The Stranger) were sent anonymous letters containing threat of poisonous gas attacks. The bars listed as targets in the letters are the Elite, Neighbours, Wild Rose, the Cuff, Purr, the Eagle, R Place, Re-bar, CC's, Madison Pub, and the Crescent. The Times reports that Dan Savage thinks it might be "an embittered gay person" rather than a religious fanatic, as the letter contains no religious language or references. Either way, it's an unimaginative, hateful move on Anonymous' part, and we hope they either 'fess up or are caught promptly and brought to justice. Slog has word that there may be an organized pub crawl around the Hill on Friday night to show support for the bars; meanwhile, bartenders are asking patrons to be careful and not to leave their drinks unattended.

• 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.

After this week's headlines about Seattle Central Community College, we're seriously starting to wonder. Two seperate SCCC students were arrested this week for threatening to commit violence on the campus.

About those photos we released to the world, implying you were terrorists...really sorry about that. Clearly, you're just innocent European businessmen who appear to be of Middle Eastern descent.
