Can you link back to the original, so we know what this is about? Or do only paid interns get to link?
I'd just as soon Castle go away. I would rather Babeland move there. The make dildos and such seem elegant and earth-mothery. The Castle just seems crass.
More of this is coming to the hill. Sugar has transformed itself into a straight bar, and look what happened there after only a couple weeks of their new Friday night - fighting, guns and police. People beware.
Club Lagoon will be hosting Tolerance Night on Tuesdays from 8:30pm-9:15pm, $10 cover and $7 well drinks.
I find a 10 dollar cover night on a Tuesday to be highly intolerant.
I often get "it's" wrong. I know that its proper us as a contraction of "it is" but if something belongs to "it" it seems like "it's" would be just as valid because we use the apostrophe s in other uses, such as the possessive "Jack's tool" and the contraction "Jack's a tool."
is that Tolerance thing for real?
it can't be...I'd only pay $10 to get OUT of there...and $7 well drink seems odd...
the Castle stores are AWFUL...like Osco's with dildos...and they're freaking expensive....buy your sex stuff from babes or even the crypt...
It's $7 to get in, $10 to get out.
Thanks for the link. I haven't seen this club, but I can see why people are alarmed. Seems pretty irresponsible to bus a bunch of straight boys to the Hill and get them drunk.
And yeah, that's a lot of money for a Tuesday night. You think at those rates they could afford to hire some security to keep their patrons from bashing the locals on the street, hmm?
Oh, wait. 8:30-9:15... you're being facetious, right?
Both those places suck. May they both die soon.

Lagoon is a big space, recovered from years of vacancy. I think they will get it right.
Castle is shitty - like an old style mafia owned porn center.
Funny they would get snotty about lgoon, guess it was nice having the space vacant, no compete for parking, etc.
Have been to Lagoon several time, all cool. I am a gay man who likes mixed bars. Called getting trade.
Billy should have kept his mouth shut and let his employers make a statement for the business.
Quite frankly, The Stranger should pony up and pay this kids rent and give him some spending money until he's back on his feet.

That's because you're confusing "it" with a noun. It's not. It is a pronoun. So:
Him - His
It - Its
You don't write "it's" for the possessive pronoun just like you don't write Hi's (or Him's or He's)
Wait, Club Lagoon is straight? I assumed, with the Lambo on the roof and the implicit Miami-Vice-80s theme (that is the theme, right?) it was a gay club with an ironic so-retro-it's-fashionable thing going on. I mean, what was there to Miami Vice if not a homo subtext (two fashion-forward guys in Miami)? And a Lambo is nothing if not a giant penis. Do women actually go there? Or is it kind of an elaborate downlow thing (again, like Miami Vice), where "straight" guys keep showing up week after week to "hang with the guys" despite the absence of women. (I will concede that doesn't necessarily mean anything, however, given that just about anywhere you go in Seattle the available men outnumber available women three or four to one).
Quite frankly, The Stranger should pony up and pay this kids rent and give him some spending money until he's back on his feet.
Really? With nothing to go by except the guy's claim that this is the reason he was fired? For all we know he was a disruptive slacker who didn't do his job, mouthed off to his boss, abused his customers, and killed kittens.
I'll take him up on that offer. I'm mature.
I'd like to go to club lagoon. I think any clubs just as good as any. Hicup. Hicup.
Hey wheres all the pussy.
Your on capitol hill you nut relax.
oh sorry bout that. Its cool man. i'm cool. Just let me adjust to my surroundings.
Hey Joe,
You explained it to me better than anyone has before.
Thanks.
Actually Joe,
the Stranger hiring process involves drowning a sack full of kittens. Let's not get too down on kitten-cide OK?
Well in that case, assuming the other things I speculated about him are true, he's perfectly qualified to work at The Stranger. Even if that would be a bit of a step down from the Castle, at least he can pay his rent. Problem solved.
Yeah, Tolerance night?? Fuck Tolerance night at those rates. EVERYNIGHT SHOULD BE TOLERANCE NIGHT!!!! But honestly the club should just be shut down. The drunk straight guys have Belltown and Pioneer Square they can screw up all they want. (and trust me they have) The Hill is for everyone else.
The only acceptable solution for Club Lagoon is to close it's doors. Better for a vacant store front than a front for homophobia.
Does anyone even remember what a jerk this kid was when he worked at Buffalo Exchange in the U-District?!? I STOPPED shopping at Castle when I saw he got a job there. He shouldn't be trusted with fast food let alone selling sex toys to the public. Congrats to Castle for cutting that cancer out of their otherwise hip knowlegable staff.
hey "apt_302" why dont you leave a real name or confront this person yourself if you've been following his work history ... you sound like a lover scorned ... or just a pussy .
Hey I think we're neighbors! You must work fast food...I apologize.
you still sound like a pussy .
you still sound like a pussy .
I am a former employee of the castle and can honestly say that the Castle is a corporatation that does NOT care about its employees and seems them as desposible. I worked there for quite an eternity compared to new employees that only stayed for a couple weeks and more often than not, less than that. And still, regardless of the time i worked there, and sacrifices i made for my former company, they desposed of me for refusing to be treated like shit any longer.
The lesson learned is to make sure you have friends working for a local paper willing to push a bullshit story on the public while ignoring any real injustices happening to any given employee at any given establishment on a daily basis. Mr. Helton was lucky enough to have this luxury whereas most people do not. The Stranger should "pony up" his rent money because ultimately Mr.Helton has made finding a new job even harder by making his clashes with previous employers a matter of public record.
Please feel free to pass along any information on major workplace injustices.
However, I think just about everyone has worked in a shitty retail job where they've been taken advantage of by their employer. Unfortunately that's just not news.
Nevertheless, here we are Jonah. I would agree, this is not and never was news.
