onLooks like the bigwigs have caught on to our local celebrities…
Seattle Notables tracks local residents like Slats, aka “the Original Hipster,” a quirky musician and nightclub aficionado noticeable for his Ramones-esque leather outfit and scraggly mop of brown hair hidden under a broad-brimmed black hat.
They even get an interview with our pride and joy!
“It’s kind of strange when I go in a bar and everyone’s taking a picture of me, or I walk down the street and they’re yelling my name,” says Slats, whose real name is Chris. “I’m just living my life and all of a sudden it’s like, ‘Whoa, what’s going on?’”
His real name is Chris!
Turn the tables, Chris. Turn ‘em right around!

They have Link, too.
Do not taunt Link.
Link has power-ups.
It's good luck to see Link! Good luck for the whole day!
Ramones-esque? Eh. I'd say he's more like the ghost of Johnny Thunders.
What kind of luck is a Slats sighting?
Does he have hemorrhoids? Or does he take heroin in the ass? Also, whats with the holocaust victim rocker performance art thing he does?
Man, I miss working on the Hill. It was tradition at our office to always have after-work beers at Bill's if we had a Link sighting.
#4: You know like when you are at a bar, and that cute girl over there is really drunk, and she all of a sudden comes up to you and pins you against the wall, and you can't believe it (and neither will she, come morning)? That's all because of Slats.
I saw slats and some fugly looking bitch getting into a new Convertible Volkswagen Bug yesterday on Cap. Hill. not very punk rock of him or her despite them both looking like absolute morons wearing leather head to toe.
SO Slats is the god of drunk lesbian rape?
#9: Well no, this would be relating to Paulus, so minus the lesbianism, and I meant she wouldn't believe it because he's so fucking hot. However, I find your attitude abhorrent, sir. When it comes to Seattle Notables, it's all in good fun.
wait, am i pronouncing this right? not-ables? Seattle Not-ables?
regardless, slats just grosses me out every time i see him. skinny as a rail, walking like he just got fucked in the ass for smack.
this is the first time i've agreed with bellevue avenue. kelly o, you MUST come to slog happy hour next week and film him dancing. it's a hoot!
I love how Slats reads this shit here and just laughs
My favorite Slats sighting happened last summer. I was crossing Broadway behind Slats and a gal pal and a couple Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence were walking towards us. After the good sisters had passed by, Slats snickered and made snide comments about their appearance to his companion. I just cocked an eyebrow, bit my tongue and resisted the urge to comment about pots and kettles and their shared state of noir...
rad, they mentioned the myspace profile i set up for CSG.
I have nothing mean to say.
My housemate calls him Teeter because he can't walk with any measure of stability. I guess.
Slats is the man. He's never too cool to sit down and take a shot with anyone. Unlike many of you kooky wannabe hipsters flocking to the hill desperately trying to look cool. Buy the man a shot!
@18: never too cool to stop being an alcoholic?
being as thin as he is, it probably doesnt take much to get drunk.
It's always a good idea to take a picture of Kelly O's butt.
Each year I say I'm gonna be the Slats guy for Halloween, but my friends always tell me that it's mean to make fun of the homeless.
oh i get it, this another one of those things where journalists jerk one another off and try to implant one another into a story.

Why should I know or care who this person is?
Why is everyone saying such cruel things about someone they don't know? Jealousy?
you'll miss him when he's gone.
