Me and Shaun outside Seagull
I just returned from a brief escape to New York City—something I strive to do at least once a year. The primary purpose of this trip was to attend the wedding of former Seattleite Jeff Wood, so I ran into plenty of Seattle and Portland folks at the ceremony, including Ben London, John Hollis Fleischman, and Bill Bernhard. The day before the wedding, I had the pleasure of checking in with former Vain stylist Shaun “Surething” Cottle. He moved to NYC earlier this year to open a salon with Le Tigre’s Johanna Fateman and by all accounts, they’re doing quite well. I know Shaun has many fans and friends here in Seattle, who would appreciate knowing that the Seagull Haircutters salon is kicking serious ass, snapping up celebrity clients of all stripes as well as the expected cadre of musicians and artists. Go Shaun!
In weirder news, during dinner with my friend Chuck Klosterman before the sold-out Hold Steady show at Irving Plaza, I learned that the German company who is publishing his book made a commercial to promote their release of Killing Yourself to Live, Chuck’s book about traveling across the United States to visit landmark sites of famous rock star deaths. Is it just me or are commercials for books something previously only seen in conjunction with Dianetics or Oprah’s latest literary endorsement? See for yourself here.

J. Niimi (who wrote the great 33 1/3 book on "Murmur") just told me the new Klosterman is really good. I have to admit I have 'em all and will not be missing the next one ...
Seattle misses Hannah!
what total drivel
Here's a cure for you Jack--turn off your eyeballs.
Between those stylin' sweats and the belly pooch, I can tell that you represented Seattle's female population with great aplomb.
Dearest Gomer Bolstrood:
You're an ass.
Complete ass.
Hannah's a hottie. For real. XOXO - with all respect to a certain sexy bartender.
But Gomer, you're a real sweetheart. I'm sure we have mutual friends. I find out who you are and you're gonna love being my girlfriend. I mean it, ya poncy little bitch.
why doesn't "Gomer Bolstrood" use his real name? he or she's the one representing Seattle's chicken-shit blogging community.... bock, bock CHICKEN CHICKEN!
Looks like Gomer here just made himself a whole bunch of NEW FRIENDS! Smooth, Gomer, real smooth.
Gomer,
I am going to kill you.
xoxo
ps. Your band must REALLY suck.
well, in his defense, gomer wasn't exactly wrong. hannah is a pretty girl, but she is carrying a few too many pounds and she was wearing grungy travel clothes. seattle's gift to the world.
Indefuckingfensible. What, if anything, about her post invites a personal attack based on some fucked up standard of beauty? You're fucked Chauncy. This shitheel Gomer (who has previously disparaged women in the slog) is completely out of line. I don't believe I've ever seen anyone discuss the weight or looks of any of the male contributors to this blog as a commentary on a post that does not invite it.
Why the censorship on Slog?
I've noticed some comments erased that were here this morning. Who is making the censorship decisions and what are you trying to prevent Slog readers from reading? Just curious.
What foul, annoying, creepy little fucks roam the Internet policing the weight of pretty girls? Oh yeah, there's a couple 'net 'tards right there.
Hey, Chauncey: you're right, it is unfair, because you NEED a couple of extra pounds -- of fucking brain matter. God only knows what the hell YOU'RE carrying. Typhoid, by the smell of it.
As a woman of size and a Jew I am offended by the sizest comments. Woman is Binah the divine mother and should always be respected and honored.
Newsflash: pussified Seattle men react badly to criticism of frumpy, overweight local women.
I am *so* hurt by your opinions.
wtf?!? hannah is the prettiest part of this picture.
Seattle misses Shaun Surething! I'm going to see him soon myself.
Before anyone else bothers with Hannah, has anyone noticed the ponch bellied homo next to her with the wonky high (but not quite high-enough) high pony? Leave her alone. She's PRETTY!!!!!!
