Slog - Comments on Tonight! Slog Happy! 6 pm! http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/tonight_slog_happy_6_pm 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......

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

That said, for Poe's sake bring deodorant just in case.

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

Maybe see y'all tonight.

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...

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.
