I read this same post in the Seattle Weekly music blog (the one you say no one reads) last week.

@1: I've never said no one reads that blog.

Step one in the inevitable slow downward spiral. Bad Taste is fine for a bar but not a bar with live music.

@3: How dare you, sir!

@4: Oh my apologies! Please let this be a preemptive strike at curbing the onslaught on king cobra employee backlash.
I'm sorry i don't share your love of generic guitar rock and leather jackets.

you boys should hook up, slap some Elliot Smith on, and write a solo album about it.

Oh snap! (insert mediocre gay and or indie rock insult here) ___________________.

Elliot Smith wasn't gay, nor indie rock. He was on Dreamworks.

Try again.

I drive past Slim's every day on my way to and from work and have wondered about it. Neat.

uh Jeff, you're not to bright are you? Just a tad slow?
the comment #6 was more aimed at making fun of Eric and myself and how we are sad arty indie rock boys who don't like tough manly rock. Then comment was #7 was making fun of bobcats poor attempt at a insult. Nothing really to do with Elliot Smith or what category his music falls under or what label association he may have had. Does that help? We can go slower.

Eric, why are you trying to ruin King Cobra's chance of success by stabbing All-Ages in the faaaaace???

Don't click that link in #10, someone has to resort to mean tricks because his brain doesn't function fast enough to reply vocally, so when in doubt revert to lashing out.

Dying slowly,

What do you have to gain by King Cobra closing? Do you work for a competing club? Promoter?

You don't like generic leather-jacket rock. Ok. That's fine. Me either.

I can't stand swing music either, but I am not trying to run the Century Ballroom out of business nor will I celebrate the coming demise of that building.

Yes I am dumb and slow. The typos in your post suggest we might have that in common.

Oh, as the kids say, SNAP.

so, what's going on here? what was being booked that won't be booked anymore? what will be booked now? just curious...

OK, sorry i insulted you Jeff, but other than a repeated 'was' i don't see any typos in my posting... I don't want King Cobra to close in the least, I want them to make better decisions on how to run a rock club in its location.

Jeff makes a good point, I should try to get the Century Ballroom shut down. Damn kids and their zoot suits!

Good news, it looks like they need a booking agent. Perhaps you should apply.

You won't get better rock booking at King Cobra with the departure of Jenny Bendel - you'll get more faux-rock Capitol Hill-centric (dare is say poser?) booking instead.

I went to a goodly number of King Cobra shows, and most of them drew very well indeed, and in particular actually got people who live outside of the neighborhood to brave the considerable hassle of parking on the Hill to attend.

Welcome to the rebirth of Spinal Tap - we hope you like our new direction....

thats cool eric can talk shit about someone that advertises in your gossip rag and pays your bills!

how was eric talking shit. why does everything always turn into to a "fuck eric grandy post"???

Please give them a break. They are pretty new at running a club that size. That fact isn't necessarily a bad thing. Taking chances is part of running a successful business.

If booking people moving to a different club was the sign of the demise of a club then we would be hearing the wailing all over town.

There are plenty of people who are not interested in the typical music selection of the other clubs on Capitol Hill. I am one of them. These patrons enjoy the louder end of the spectrum that King Cobra is providing. I don't understand why understanding this is such an issue for the SLOG contributors.


(P.S. I'm just kiddin' Eric.)

You retards are all fired.

I'm in the Jenny Bendel fan club. She rocks Seattle. And I think she's hooked up super cheap transportation between Slim's and Capitol Hill; $10 was the quote I got. Much cheaper than a cab.

Probably worth it to go hang with DJ Hubba Hubba on a Thursday!

"Step one in the inevitable slow downward spiral. Bad Taste is fine for a bar but not a bar with live music."

Taste in art and music is so subjective, I always find it pretty pathetic when people try to insult the art or music others like. It definitely says more about you than anything else. Why can't you stick to the clubs you like without pissing on the music and clubs others like? Need a diaper or something?
