That's all because of Slats.

However, I find your attitude abhorrent, sir. When it comes to Seattle Notables, it's all in good fun.

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.

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!
