Slog - Comments on Item of Last Year http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/12/item_of_last_year Every year, The Stranger sells off chunks of itself—the cover, a guest-expert slot in Savage Love, reviews, feature stories, etc. My favorite thing about last year's Strangercrombie was the bunch of comedians who got together, pooled their money, and bought Suggests so they could publicize The Week of Fun, their big push to publicize the new comedy scene in Seattle. They collectively paid $610 for the Suggests and were terrified their gambit would fail and they'd all lose their money (which they couldn't afford to spend in the first place). They didn't. The Week of Fun was a huge success...

He's hilarious and his laugh is insanely infectious, too. Come to Slog Happy Thursday and see what I mean.

Is Slog Happy Thursday some kind of live get-together? I'd love to, except I'm a shy nerd and I live on the other side of the country, in another country.

I bet John Longenbaugh is bidding on it.

So I'm not sure if I'm gonna actually make it, although I do want to meet some of you! Can I bring my affable housemate?
