Greetings and Full Disclosure Dept.
Party Crasher has arrived and is live-slogging the Third Annual Genius Awards, taking place even as you read this in the main hall of the Seattle Art Museum. For the record, Party Crasher is a Stranger employee, the Genius Awards are sponsored by the Stranger, and this record is appearing on The Strangers’ very own Slog. Party Crasher would like to pre-dedicate the inevitable Pulitzer to his mother.
The lines for the free alcohol are beginning to stretch. This classy couple is dreaming of a tequila and soda (for him) and a “delicious” Fat Tire (for the lady).
As Party Crasher was taking the photo for this couple (divine in their raccoon and “raccoonette” coats, a SAM employee approached and snapped, “Could they please not touch the camel?” Done and done.
We think the DJ’s name is Eddie. Anyway, he’s great.
