Tonight! Slog Happy! 6 pm!

posted by on August 14 at 11:24 AM

The day has finally come; August’s Slog Happy is tonight at the Hideout.

Paul Constant is bringing free books, I’m bringing Bumbershoot tickets to win (well, I’m not really bringing the actual tickets, I’m just bringing the opportunity to win them, which means I’m bringing a hat in which to draw names from) and the Hideout’s supplying some drink specials ($1.50 Rainiers and $2.50 wells), good art, pretzles, and a neat-o vending machine filled with presents to buy.

It starts at 6 pm—get there early to get the first crack at Paul’s books. That sounds weirdly dirty…

How steep a slog (har) is Boren from South Lake Union? I've never tried to walk up it that far.

Don't want to arrive all soaked in sweat, because you know Mr. Poe would refuse to wrestle with me...

I'm not going unless the venue is middle-initial-friendly.

I'll be there after driving to Ballard ... long story.

I hear they're middle initial friendly - I've got two, maybe we could share the extra one with someone who needs one?

@2 It's not too bad, I've walked up that way a few times without dissolving into a puddle of perspiration. That said, for Poe's sake bring deodorant just in case.

Why would I wrestle? What? Who are you?

I call dibs on everything.

1. Because sweaty/oily wrestling is a quintessentially naughty activity and you appear to be a quintessentially naughty individual.

2. That's what.

3. Leek; that is all ye know and all ye ever need know.

Maybe see y'all tonight.

I'm having a bad day. One of those amorphous bad days when there isn't really anything horrible happening to me but everything just seems bad in general. I'll be at Slog happy to drown my imaginary sorrows in as much booze as it takes. Unfortunately, my imaginary sorrows have learned to swim so it might take a lot...

WiS: "I'll be there after driving to Ballard ... long story."

Oh, DO tell. It sounds FASCINATING.

Jube,

If this Hideout place turns out to have "issues" with us middle-initialed folks, what say you and me boycott it?

Books + booze = awesome!

(Would tea help, PopTart? That's all I can provide.)

And JTC, it'll be good for you.

Change in schedule saved me the epic bus ride. Now I will be getting my wife to drive. So - I may be there a little late, but I will sure be drinking a lot to make up for it.

I'll be there. Poltroon will be hanging out in some nearby cafe with our offspring, performing various science tests and teaching him to say (and someday do) "en·a·bling."

If the Slog is the Stranger's Blog, is the Slog Happy Hour the Slappy Hour?

I drank a chili dog.

(In the drunkest tone of voice, like ever) I fucking love you Slog people.

I have so much to say, but perhaps I should sober up before I say it!

Scary, I used some of that onion in my omelette this AM. YUMMY!!!

And I'm using the leeks in a vichyssoise -- nice and chilled for the hot weekend. Thank you so much!!!

Poptart, it was great to finally meet my online girlfriend. Even if you are 73% male.

Abby, tomorrow belongs to us -- roll on, EPL 08/09 season!!! And there was a woman there who does translating for FIFA...you need to meet her. Somehow.

Leek, you're HOT.

Boxofbirds is a cutie, but his tats are probably fading and his ear plugs are starting to sag. Never mind -- I'd hit that.

My dear Constant, thanks for the book by the most pretentious ass on the planet. I'm going to read it, then use it as toilet paper.

Holden, as usual.

Savage, you're too kind.

Rhett, do you realize you finally helped me check the box next to "Have conversation about Albert Speer light displays and Riefenstahl's photos of them"? Thank you, sir!

Poe, Juif...words fail.

The restaya, god bless. It was fun! Wish I'd had more time.

A pleasure to meet all of you! Paul, Dominic and Annie, please keep up the good work.

Abby: Sha la la la la la la! O, Türkiye! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ILMl47cs7Q)
