Yes. "Idiotic". I can think of something else that's "idiotic" right now.

Move the location and a ton of people to appease just a couple in west seattle? I'm thinking no.

Get real. Nobody in their right mind would set foot in West Seattle.

Thought Sloggers weren't in their right mind anyway. Just think, all the CapHill Sloggers could totally trash West Seattle and we'd still be talking about it in the year 2050. It might even be equal to the week the Denny Party spent here in terms of legacy material.

No book recommendations, no food recommendations, a out of date movie recommendation, some bar in West BumFuk and "I don’t have much interest in music."

Are you sure you want to keep doing this? I suggest sparing everyone the further agony, taking the TKO, and moving on to something you're qualified for. Like drowning.

@JMR: Why was it worth so much money to you for Slog privileges, if this is all you've got?

And the haters got to hate. Which makes them happy. Though they hate happiness. Which inspires more hate...

Um, JMR, at least plug your fave places.

Or recommend we all spend Saturday in Pioneer Square at the Obama Campaign Office grand opening - with some nearby good eats and such to accompany it.

But don't "not" post. It's bad form.

When all else fails, go all 90s and post your manifesto.

If that's too long, then just ask the Slogosphere for cock shots.

Either way, you've got to throw in some pictures or you're gonna have a Slog riot on your hands.

What a wasted opportunity.

Keep it up! What are your favorite books you think we should read? Favorite place to eat in West Seattle (if we ever leave the hill...)

At least JMR reminded me of a rare book about autos that i would benefit from rereading again, On The Road, an impetus for moi in travelling northwestward ho yo moons ago....now, how the hell do i leave.... many thanks to the TCRAFT crew (the qualified editors of the music scene) and Fnarf.

Ahoy

oh, and could someone pass along greets to Sea Weeks' Gavin Borchet. Working together for a year in the biotech racket was fun, and we rarely talked music!! Hooray for life!

Some of you have been very nice, thank you. I'm just very busy at work this week, then I leave work and go drinking and eating milkshakes and burgers and don't have internet access, so not many posts.

Kabab House? Go to Mr gyros across the street! The Gyro platter is awesome! 6-8oz of lamb/beef, basmati rice, greek salad, fresh hummus and 2 grilled pitas for less than 8 bucks after tax. Seriously awesome, but get it to go, and call in first. There are usually 3-10 people in line at any given time.

Sammy and his brother are my favorite business owners in GW. I don't even tell them my name when I call in my order, they just know it is me.

One of the hits of SIFF.

Don't know how I missed that in the lede.

without US, this place would be as barren as Joan Crawford's uterus or the Las Vegas Monorail or The Seattle Weekly's blog.

and of course the staff love JMR's stuff...it makes THEIR posts look positively brilliant!

For the love of God, please do something in New York and write about it. You can always talk about how Seattle sucks ass compared to New York ... that's an old stand-by.

I'm taking that as a compliment.

Night trips to West Seattle - simple, ride your bike over the low bridge - very little truck traffic at night and you get to see all the pretty lights of the harbor and experience the awesomeness which is our steel factory (when it's turning out hot red rods - that should appeal to a few CapHill folks).

Hugz~!

The only cool thing over there is the steam aka the cloud factory. West Seattle sucks.

Hey JMR, next time you want to just toss around some money for something you aren't getting much use out of, why don't you just give me a call? I'll gladly take your money, and I'll even throw you a compliment or bone, your choice.

...maybe find a bike and purge some vomit all over the seat. The usual antics.

Yeah, I considered losing my "virginity" on this issue by going to see Dale Watson at the Tractor last year, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it.

yeah, Freeze Frame, baby!

Keep your polluted water, lazy people, and your safe haven... aka waffle house. We don't need you.

That made me laugh, SO hard!

Right now I'm hopping a bus to Atlantic City and I will NOT be providing a report.

OMG I've had too much to DRINK for lunch agaiN.

Amy Kate says that to ALL the guest sloggers; don't feel special about it.

@46:

I've already personally pissed on W. Seattle - several times.

And isn't your neighborhood's motto:

"West Seattle - Hey, At Least We're White Center or South Park!"

I think our slogan is "Hey, at least we're NOT Ballard." We actually like White Center and South Park - Georgetown, too. Isn't SODO the new underage hipster hangout?

to quote Sue Ann Nivens: "if you can't take the heat, stay out of my kitchen, dear..."

(ps...I find using lots and lots of ellipses helps fill up space and creates a nice dramatic...or comedic effect...)

My first 15 posts were rejected because they didn't mention Barack Obama, but they finally relented.

No. Believe me, I make sure the paycheck is deposited at the end of the month before cutting the mortgage check.

Sorry

In fact, the reason I live in West Seattle is that I couldn't afford a house in any of the neighborhoods I'd rather live in.

So while I'm pimping West Seattle a bit, I won't defend it to the bloody death.
