Housekeeping Slog Happy Is This Thursday at Captain Blacks!
Posted by Megan Seling on Tue, Jul 7, 2009 at 11:18 AM
Have you been there yet? I have three words for you: Deep-Fried Cheese Curds.
They're amazing.
Captain Blacks also has chicken and waffles, po' boy sandwiches (with vegetarian options), two patios (front and back... so I really hope it doesn't rain), and as a special bonus, Scary Tyler Moore promises to buy a drink for the unemployed folks! (No quitting your job just for a day to cash in on that.)
Here's what Bethany said about the place in a recent Bar Exam:
An $11 oyster po' boy is quite good, with the right amount of cornmeal in the oysters' breading; macaroni and cheese ($6) has such a thick blanket of the latter on top that the former ends up swimming in oil. While salad is available, no one's eating it, and most of the food here glistens: beer-battered onion rings ($5), deep-fried Beecher's cheese curds ($6). (An off-menu special: a waffle with a scoop of Molly Moon's vanilla ice cream, aka the Molly Rogers.) Eat a lot and risk a food coma; eat often and answer to your arteries.
Click here to see a .pdf of the menu. Slog Happy will start at 6 pm, Paul will bring the books, I'll bring the nametags, and we'll all have some fun.
Captain Blacks is at 129 Belmont Ave E on Capitol Hill.
(Confidential to Joh: If you bring some of those menthol Sour Patch Kids, I'll be your best friend!)

Btw: Sour Patch Kid Chillerz were at Fry's in Redmond. As much as I like 2 hour bus trips to nowhere, it aint gonna happen. Ill try and pick some up in the city between now and then though.

@2 Oh dang, I forgot that that's where you found them! I've been looking and haven't seen 'em. I still think you made them up.

Have fun. My Strat and I have a date with some other musicians. I'm hoping to be playing some Cream (I have a thing for music older than I am).
Tell Mr. Poe, if he shows, that I miss his snark.

I was originally scheduled to be in Seattle Thurs/Friday this week, but now it looks like it’s going to be next Thurs/Fri. So, no Slog Happy for me this time...

Oh, man, that sounds delicious. I'm pissed that I can't make it. This'll be the second missed Slog Happy in a row for me...fuck, I miss all you crazy people!

Can't beat a one-block walk home, though the smell of fried chicken makes me wanna chunder.
(Hey Matt Hickey, remember your camera! Let's take some more unflattering photos to drive up the hit count!)

CapitolHillArtsWalk is happening then, too. Be sure to pop in to a few other places along the way to Capt'nBlacks!

@18: I could bring my fancy camera and take pictures of everybody from a low angle. Double chin and flaring nostrils guaranteed or your money back!
23
It would be nice if whoever takes the photos attaches names to them when they get posted here. It's really fucking annoying to have no clue who's who.
24
@13 sounds suspiciously like bellevue avenue/mr. poe. someone didn't take their meds today.
and before she chimes in, yes, gurldoggie, we know and we're not going if you're there.

I'm kinda flattered to be called a hipster. I'm not nearly that cool though, and my jeans are pretty baggy. Oh and I've been cocaine free for going on 20 years now.
27
nope, you fail #24
and Joh, you aren't a hipster. maybe if your fat ass lost 300 pounds you could be considered as one.

@28 - depends. In Fremont, it's still a requirement. On Capitol Hill, it depends. Not sure about other neighborhoods.

@23
Actually, that's the fun part. Trying to attach names to faces without knowing for sure if you're right. Please don't take all the mystery out of it....

I'm excited to score kitchen and waffles and then walk myself home. And if anyone wants to mess with my associate, I will have to take exception. Don't make me take exception, anonymous.
35
I think I'll be there. Within walking distance (more or less) for me as well, and I look forward to meeting you all. Er, most of you.
36
I buy my cheese curds online at http://www.goldenagecheese.com and they're very good! I have to agree with you though, deep fried cheese curds are by far some of the best things on the planet!

Got another appointment tonight, so it looks like no go :( Even if I tried to make it afterward, you'll likely be gone for the night. We'll try again NEXT month.
