I live 4 blocks from this and I avoid going anywhere near it while it happens, so I have no idea what really goes on and honestly dont care.

When Gay Pride parades would be conducted on Broadway, having lived behind Dicks Drive in, would witness (from my window) a dozen people using they alleyway as a urinal. Im sure a number of people do this for the block party, but I cannot confirm.

@1 pretty much the same as the alleyway, but in the street.

Awesome. Though CHBP could use more room for the crowds and less for the beer gates.

Again, this city council can't do anything right.

@5 you got that right.

@5, the council didn't decide this, the city's Special Events Committee did. Here, maybe a nice warm thorough piece of coverage from Capitol Hill Seattle will help:

I <3 the Hill during into a giant frat party. Can. Not. Wait.

(that was sarcasm -- i feel like the block party has lost its magic and it's not just because iv'e gotten old and jaded.)

"turning into" dude... copyediting?

blah,blah.....should be free......blah, blah......too many meat heads and frat boys. All you newbies on the Hill complain too damn much.

My issue is how completely oversold the whole event is... last year I went in for MGMT, and you couldn't move clear back to Nuemo's. Nevermind trying to get another beer- I can't imagine how anyone up front could have left to go to the bathroom.

Most ironic thing though? The people standing outside in the Shell parking lot had the best seats in the house and they didn't cost a dime.

Not a fan of that mess. I'll avoid the Hill that weekend.

I'm with #8. (and I've lived on the Hill for fifteen years)

Have fun, I'll be staying away from it.

Please wait...
