Nightlife Bob Barker Suggests

Posted by Bethany Jean Clement on Tue, Jan 6, 2009 at 5:36 PM

From Lou at the Sundown Tavern in Ballard:

The first Tuesday of each month we host a Price Is Right game show—inspired evening at which our guests get to "come on down" and bid on prizes we purchased at Goodwill. We have all the classic Price Is Right games (plinko, the Big Wheel, etc), really flimsy cardboard sets, and a great host for the evening. It's a lot of fun and for good causes. We charge all participants $1 per ticket, and each ticket gives them a chance to be a player. We then match all money raised. January '09 is for PAWS.

It's tonight at 8 p.m., and it's for the puppies and kitties!

(I went to see the Price Is Right being taped once in LA. It involved waiting for very long periods in several different lines, being briefly interviewed for possible contestancy [and rejected, in my case], then at long last the taping itself, which was more fun than you'd think. Bob Barker made jokes between segments about drinking martinis, and my friend who was a contestant bid $420 on everything. Ha!

Drew Carey hosts the show now, apparently, but Bob Barker is not dead—he's probably having an excellent retirement.)

"January '09 is for PAWS."

Bob Barker would definitely approve.

Bob Barker was a huge supporter of the Animal Liberation Front and a dedicated vegan.

Also, does anyone at The Stranger know that PAWS also rescues those dreaded, monsterous, Pit Bulls?? Are you sure you want to be assuming vicarious responsibility for supporting the flagrant dog-on-human terrorism that you've been so meticulously documenting?
