Slog - Comments on Tonight in Seattle: Blaxploitation and the Belltown Block Party http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/tonight_in_seattle_blaxploitation_and_th Tonight brings two good options for open-air revelry. Option #1: Foxy Brown, the seminal '70s blaxploitation flick starring an ass-kicking, awesomely outfitted Pam Grier, which will be projected onto that huge white wall in the parking lot of Havana as part of their ongoing Movie Night series. There will be lounge chairs, drink service, free popcorn, and pre- and post-show DJing by DV One. Gates at 8pm, admission is $3 (or free with a stamp from the Saint). Last summer I attended Havana's parking lot screening of GoodFellas. It was glorious. Option #2: The Belltown 'Night Out' Block Party,...

And far superior to anything with Eddy Murphy in it.

Can "The Stranger" do a "How Was It?" video? Ought to be a real hoot!

I think about four people showed up. They haven't bothered having one here since.

Enjoy being the censor-nazi of Slog? wtf happened to your dumbass 'please return our cat' post? The majority of the comments were spot-on -- those asshole cat owners shoulda had their cat tagged for one, shouldn't have let it outside for two, and should understand that not everyone reads all those signs they posted and there are good reasons for an 8-day delay in letting them know their cat passed away. So, justify yourself, eh bitch?

There was probably over 100 people over the course of the evening with dozens more over at the dog park. There was some press but no speeches. None of the City Council members showed up. They never have.

You know, doing ... real work.

Rocket science, isn't it? No, instead you took down the post because.... why? Because people were honest and telling the former cat owner something he didn't want to hear? Because you're afraid of a discussion that might hurt someone's feelings? You should think twice before you hurl more shit at the times and PI -- you're looking mighty fucking credulous hacky right now.

That's also why I work at The Stranger. You are a genius.
