Drinking / Nightlife / Photo Pictures from Friday's Zombie McLeod Residence Party
Posted by Matt Hickey on Mon, Nov 2, 2009 at 2:49 PM
It had been 364 days since McLeod Residence closed its doors for the last time. It went out with a bang. The reunion party was in memory of the old space. It was excellent, if not eerie.

Posted by Matt Hickey on Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 2:44 PM
It was loud and it was fun. Sure, both bands have played here recently, but not together. That was kind of the magic.

50 should really smack down Amy Winehouse. And her new "Jewmaican" and "smoke bacon" rhyme. Eesh. Maybe Ames should stick to baby mice?

Drinking / Nightlife No One Puts Baby in a Corner...Tonight!
Posted by Adrian Ryan on Sun, Sep 13, 2009 at 11:24 AM
I hate Sundays. Hate them! (There! I said it!) And not just because Sunday is allegedly “The Lord’s Day” or whatever, and I’m pure, card-carrying Evil. (Ask anyone.) Sundays are horrible, dead-feeling days. All of the frenzy of Friday? Vanished. The whimsy of Saturday? Gone. TV sucks (baring True Blood, naturally), tomorrow’s 6am alarm hangs over your head like the Sword of Damocles, and you can’t even drink yourself into a stupor properly, because tomorrow is, you know, work. Sundays are like a doctor’s office waiting room…waiting for a terminal diagnosis. If every day were like Sunday (so silent! So gray!), I’d swallow a bucket of Drian-O.
And so I do what I can to endure, to press on, to make it better, to force the dying weekend to hang on for a few more precious hours, and this Sunday (damn it to hell!), I plan to do two most delightful things that just might make this waiting-room of a day worthwhile: Happy Hour at The Bus Stop, and, OMF-ing G (if you’ll pardon the expression), Crayze About Swayze at Central Cinema!
First, The Bus Stop: I know, you almost never think of “Happy Hour” at The Bus Stop, because, well, every hour is happy at The Bus Stop. But The Bust Stop hosts a delightful little Happy Hour, with DJ VALPAK and drinky drinky drink specials. (Plus, Pony has been getting all the attention lately, and The Bus Stop deserves our love, too.) It starts at 4pm and runs ‘til 8pm, and tends to draw a fabulous crowd. Even on Sunday. 1552 E Olive Way.
- Crayze!
Damn Sunday.
Tonight!

Drinking / Nightlife / Dancing / Tonight Two Great Things That Must Also Be Done Tonight
Posted by Adrian Ryan on Fri, Aug 21, 2009 at 12:08 PM
I come not to bury Riz Rollins, but to mourn him. For almost two goddamnmotherfucking decades (long before you or I were born), Riz Rollins—soul man, renaissance man, man’s man—has been spinning his celebrated Friday Night’s at Re-Bar. It’s been an institution. A legend. But no more.
Tonight is the sad, sweet end of all that, and Fridays at Re-Bar henceforward shall be sadly Rizless. Riz-free. Sans-The Riz. He’s going off to do other things. His new husband maybe. Who knows.
A tragedy!
Come tonight, then, to Re-Bar, and mourn with me. It’s going to be packed. There’s a $7 cover, spinning begins circa 10 PM, apparently right after Garfunkle and Oats. At Re-Bar (1114 Howell).
Also!
Sometimes people like to drink and dance, sometimes they like to drink and cry, sometimes they like to drink and sit on their butts and watch stuff. Hilarious stuff! And if you enjoy some nice sitting down, and drinking, and watching funny stuff, Open Circle Theatre is a very good place to be late, late, LATE tonight too (and/or tomorrow), because there’s a cash bar, and a FUNNY SHOW.
It’s a revue/reworking of Growing Pains, the horrible 80s sitcom that wasn’t funny at all, really, except maybe ironically, and that produced the brain-dead reborn x-tian freak that is Kirk Cameron. A bunch of boys in dresses (and others) will be resurrecting it live, onstage, for your ironic and most drinky-drinky pleasure, and making it actually, you know, funny. (Staring Gary Zinter of Bus Stop fame!) They say it is “not to be missed”, and I’m inclined to agree. Tickets are also $7 at the door, show starts at 11 PM, OCT is at 2222 2nd Ave (quite impossible to forget), tonight and tomorrow. And since we’re both doing Riz’s goodbye thingy tonight, I’ll see you there tomorrow night. Okay? Okay.
Tonight!

Posted by Adrian Ryan on Sat, Jul 18, 2009 at 5:06 PM
Ever hankered to roll with the Rollergirls? Tonight is your big, rolly chance…
Rat City Rollergirls After-bout Party @ Funhouse!DJs Verse & Barbarella are throwing down beats at the Funhouse after the Rat City Rollergirls at Key Arena!

Homo / Drinking / Nightlife / Tonight Last Chance to Get Drunk, Get Naked, Get Carlotta-fied!
Posted by Adrian Ryan on Sat, Jul 18, 2009 at 4:48 PM
You know that this nonsense has been going on for, like, 12 years, right? Carlotta’s Late Night Wingding? Well, tonight is the last Wingding of the season. From a shameless press release:
Carlotta's gang is back this month at Open Circle Theater before they take a break until the "holidaze". The crew is bringing their favorite musical guests, dusting off some of their best musical numbers from the past, as well as adding some new ones!Not only is the show all music but it's also a retrospective of Wing Dings from over the years...Hits such as "Hard Knock Life", "Aquarius", "Xanadu", "Saturday Night Fever Medley", & even a song from "The Curse of Wolf Manor".
Guests include the wonderfully nearly naked Stranger's "Drunk of the Week" Jonathan Thompson, Rick Uselton, Ella Rose, Leonard Nimoy, Lonnie Anderson, Joyce DeWitt, and Courtney Love. The show also promises that each and every cast member will be completely naked by the end of the show!
The bar opens at 7PM (and you'll need it), the show starts at 10:30, the nakedness is probably illegal, and it's $7 at the door—or FREE. If, you know, you come naked. How much will YOU pay?
Open Circle Theater (2222 2nd Ave. Suite 222), in Belltown, just next door to "Shorties". Tonight!

Saturday saw the ECSC changing venues to the much larger Crocodile. It wasn't packed, but there were enough hot people dancing to make it fun.
Drinking / Nightlife / Photo Friday Night at The Elephant
Posted by Matt Hickey on Mon, Jul 13, 2009 at 4:40 PM
The Elephant is the new name for the revamped bar behind Laadla in the Eastlake/South Lake Union neighborhood. If Friday was any indication of things to come then it's going to shape up to be a damn good bar.

Homo / Drinking / Nightlife / Dancing / Tonight A Completely Dead Celebrity-Free Thing to Do Tonight!
Posted by Adrian Ryan on Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 6:03 PM
Hiya. Sorry I've been so scarce. As you've doubtlessly suspected, I've been in deep mourning—YouTube-ing Thriller or whatever over and over, feathering my rich, leonine mane of sun-colored hair, Bedazzling happy silver and white sequins onto all of my right-hand gloves, wondering WHAT-the-fuck really happened to poor old David Caradine anyway, forgetting all about Ed McWhathisface, thumbing through my collection of Teen Beat Magazines (in a dirty way), weeping. (Honestly! I have!) It's quite emotional, and very time consuming. (Plus, I'm pretty sure I've developed some sort of Jackson-ish form of Turrets Syndrome—SHAMON! HEE!) I wish I had the time and/or wherewithal to go dance my weepy ass of at Hard Times at The War Room tonight:
It's brought to you by those beautiful queers that brought to you things like Hot Mess and so very much more, and it's a new thing, and you should check it out. DJs LA Kendall and Mathematix will be spinning. Drink specials, of course. $5 at the door.
Go. Have fun for me. I can't muster the emotional strength to leave the house just now...hee, HEE! OW!
The War Room (722 East Pike), doors at 9pm, tonight!

It's fucking Thursday. It's almost, but not quite, The Fourth of July or whatever. You're hotter than Satan's bicycle seat. You're restless. In-the-pants-region mostly. Do this tonight!
Yes, the event is actually called, "Amerika Fawk Yeah!!!" (with THREE exclamation points!!!), and it features one of my favorite DJs/Seattle nightlife fixtures, Fortune Kiki. What else does one need to know? (Besides that it's free, and the doors are at 9PM, and that Havana is at 1010 East Pike Street, naturally.)
Havana, TONIGHT!

Homo / Drinking / Tonight One Gay Thing I Will Be Doing Tonight…
Posted by Adrian Ryan on Fri, Jun 26, 2009 at 7:25 AM
GLAAD, is so much more than just a quality sandwich bag to we Gays. GLAAD is also the "Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation." And if you didn’t know, we gays really, really hate defamation. (Unless we’re the one’s doing it, naturally, in which case we love it, but let’s not stray of topic.) Tonight they are holding a drinky and delicious Pride soirée at Purr (just across the street from Valu Village—what’s that smell?—and The Stranger offices, if you must know). I’ve been asked to attend. They are going to give away a copy of my new book! I’m sizzling with excitement!
It is a little mixer they are throwing called TGIF (you know, "Thank GLAAD It’s Friday"? of course.) that is aimed at something called “professionals”. “Young gay and lesbian” ones, specifically. And although I’m not exactly sure what this thing “professional” is, hey, whatever…BOOZE! No defamation! Me! PRIDE!
Please join us. You will be surely GLAAD you did, har har.
At PURR (1518 11 Avenue), $15, 7PM-to-9PM, tonight.

Homo / Drinking / Nightlife / Tonight / #1 Fan Your (SuperGay!) Weekend Begins…NOW.
Posted by Adrian Ryan on Wed, Jun 24, 2009 at 5:54 PM
Buck up, silly queer! Gay Pride is happening all around you, and the world is filling with club nights and other super gay happenings. But if your P-R-I-D-E hasn’t really put its gay sneakers on and started running just yet (mine started in March, and might never be able to stop now…), now’s the time to start blowing your big gay wad. Because tonight, this is happening:
David Richie, who is dazzling, and DJ L.A. Kendal, who is off the fucking hizzle in general, invented it. (They also gave birth to the beautiful beast that was HotMess...R.I.P.) And as you can see, the event is billed as, um, "a multi-poly-omni art experiment". I'm not sure what that means exactly, but there's almost naked people in the picture. And music. And The BOoze. So, heeey. (Also, I have it on bad authority that this adorable creature is in town, and will be wandering the shadows at this event, too. I'm merely sayin'.)
These is some Hard Times, chile! Brave the wind! Get your gay on! TONIGHT!
War Room (722 East Pike), 9PM, $5.

Homo / Drinking / Drugs / Nightlife / Tonight / Conflict of Interest Freak Turns 400—Nation Roars!
Posted by Adrian Ryan on Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 6:45 PM
Tonight we toast the interminable decay of one of Seattle's darkest blazing stars: The indomitable and quite clinically mad and morose and loping and terrifying and dazzling punk-drag performance artiste Miss Jacqueline Hell. (Miss Jackie, if yo' nasty. And you are.)
This year marks her fourth centennial. Being four hundred years old, she is celebrating at The Crescent Tavern (1413 East Olive Way), which is singularly appropriate, and still smells like total ass. (Take care of it people—the charm is GONE!) Not that I'd ever insinuate that Jackie smells like ass, of course. Especially not on her birthday.
There's a Jackie Hell look-alike contest at midnight! The event goes from 9 PM-till-2 fucking AM!
Won't you join her?
Oh, and, um, Jackie Hell is totally completely biographied here, by the way. Ahem. Order it gift-wrapped!
Happy birthday, you hideous, glorious freak!
