I walked in here a few Fridays back after getting my drink on at a local drinking establishment known for their strong pours*. This place has an amazing sound system and the DJ was bringing out a nice sized crowd to the dance floor.
The thing is, it's an even better art gallery. There must have been eight or ten rooms full of artists doing art and being all artistic. One guy was even making finishing touches to his canvas as it was on display. Pretty cool.
Oh, and the sink and fridge they have there are just a sink and fridge. When I saw them I wondered, "What is this piece supposed to COMMUNICATE to me?" Turns out they're just appliances. Go figure! Damn you, modern art!
*The Baranof. It's about two doors down from this location. You have been warned. Watch out for obnoxious drunks wandering in and out.

Yeh Yeh's Vietnamese Sandwiches
Category: Vietnamese
You know what I can't stand about Seatlte bahn mi sandwiches? Their bread is always cold/room temperature and tough. Here, they pop it in an oven for a half minute or so. When it gets to your table, it's piping hot. They have all the obvious types (i.e. tofu, beef, pork, chicken) and they also have a salmon bahn mi that is intriguing me at the moment.
They have one of those golden cats that won't stop waving at you. Those things creep me out. Aside from that, if you're up North, or live there, as I do, go here for some damn tasty sammiches.
Oh, and get there early. They close at 7 PM.

I love this place. Blueberry crumpets. (Relatively) cheap, awesome sushi. Don't even get me started on their fruit selection (kumquats!!). The prices just keep getting better as other places seem to go up and up and up and up and up and up. Oops, got a little carried away there.
Not to mention their killer beer and wine selection. Love some Simpler Times. One question: why no fridge? Nobody likes warm beer (well, except for weirdos).
Also, home to one of the best panhandlers in Seattle. Rock on, violinist dude!
Get there early, they run out of the good stuff really early. Hence the docked star.

Taste of Georgetown : Yelp Seattle's Open Party
Category: Local Flavor
Neighborhood: Georgetown
One thing that set this apart from other Yelp events, specifically the last Open Party: The food. There were plenty of options and they were all readily available and not some giant time-released food bomb that came out, was there for a minute, and then vanished under mysterious circumstances. Amazing job, Michelle, Helen, Don, & Katie!!
Great people (Carrie LB made her annual sojourn to an event!), great company (redundant much, Matt?), great space and great entertainment. Thank you to everyone who wore shorts for making me not feel like an inbred hillbilly.
The fire dancers knew how to rock the party. After a few beers and bourbons, I contemplated how that one fire dancer could seriously make those garterpants (not a word, but I don't know what else to refer to them as) not look ridiculous and really pretty damn hot.
These are the things I contemplate after a few drinks and some pulled pork Hawaiian sandwiches. Join me, won't you?

Tak & Toni's Dome Stadium Tavern
Categories: Dive Bars, Local Flavor
Are you a beer connoisseur? This shall be your new Mecca! Their selection boggles the mind and will leave you scratching your head in wonder.
Okay, maybe not. Fine. Definitely not. It's a ramshackle, well, shack that appeared to be closed until we got about ten feet from the entrance. It was not closed, but merely almost completely empty.
The beers include Bud & Bud Light on tap. Tallboys of Rainier & PBR. A few bottles. One very awesome and entertaining jukebox that we used to play music that was not concurrent with the crowd gathered there. Rumor has it the Ladies' bathroom is nasty, the Gents' room is just okay.
It'll do in a pinch, if you don't give too much of a crap about no highfalutin fancy lad beer and just want to kick back and have a good time with some friends.
To the fancy lads out there: What's on your mind, little girl? You remind me of my niece Sally, she's a dietitian. Hey, would you like to buy a monkey?!

I would rather be really hot rather than really cold. The solution to being really hot is much simpler and more affordable. Dunk your head in cold water. Take a cold shower. Drop ice cubes down your shirt and pants. Put clothing in the freezer.
Plus, when it's cold you have to put more clothes on. When it's hot, it leads to the taking off of clothing, which, let's face it, is way more fun. No damn layering, walking around like some Michellin man. Plus, I have to admit this weather brings out the best in Seattle women. Y'all are some fine-ass women.
Plus, I have achieved a natural tan. Repeat: A. Natural. Tan. Of the non-farmer variety. This is a once or twice a decade occurrence!
You can put me in the "Like it" category. Not necessary love, but damn if I won't remember it fondly come December-March.

Stop 1 of my brother's bachelor party (technically 2, after cliff diving at Tubb's Hill into Lake Coeur D'alene).
They had damn delicious burgers and food, and beer.
I'm not really too big on lamb, unless it's done right, and here I had the lamb burger. I think they missed out by not calling it a lamburger. I mean, come on, you don't get the opportunity to do that every day! Anyways, it was flavored with rosemary, topped with pesto and feta cheese. With a description like that, how could you not order it?
My brother had the steak sandwich and it was good, but he had to use only one bun because they slathered chopped garlic on way too thick on the top bun. I love garlic and it burned my mouth when I tried it. Just overpowering all around!
They have a really good selection of micro-brews for a Coeur D'alene burger den.
Service was sort of slow, but we didn't really mind too much, we were all too busy BSin' and reminiscing about the good old days.

Stop 3 of my brother's bachelor party. Cheap pool, lots of people, it's the premier seenster location in Coeur D Alene! Lots of people, lots of dancing, lots of "Yeah! Woo! WOOOOOOO!" drunk or soon-to-be drunk college-aged peeps.
Also, I do believe I heard every single song by one recently deceased Mike Johnson (I believe that was the artist's name, I may be wrong) played here the night we came.
Plus it's got a lengthy history. It's been in this spot for about 35+ years. I'd definitely go back.

Stop 4 of the bachelor party. This place simultaneously fills me with incredible nostalgia and nonstalgia*. The reason? It's in Idaho. Translation: Nostalgia for two for one drink specials, something you don't often see lasting from 10 PM-2 AM. Nonstalgia because smoking in bars still allowed.
Fits the bill perfectly as an end of bachelor party night. Prepare to do a load of laundry the next day to avoid reminding nearby people of a bipedal ashtray.
Also, word to the wise, bring plenty of $1 bills, they will come in handy.
*Feel free to steal this word if you like and pepper your conversations with it. I made it up, it's basically the polar opposite of nostalgia.

Great event. I kept getting accused of "not being drunk enough" to be the night's name tag person. Which is true, but that's the way the ball crumbles sometimes.
Amazing food, great company, cozy location, fantastic event for Katie S to go out on! Katy has some serious shoes to fill.
