Rords of the Froor VI

Drinking plus dancing equals Rords of the Froor, Seattle's infamous and heee-larious drunken breakdancing competition. Sixteen amateurs and 16 pros battle for the grand prize of $1,500, the dubious title of "World (Drunk) Breakdance Champion," one big-ass trophy, AND, if they choose, the option to puke on my shoes for a Drunk of the Week column. Whoop! (The War Room, 722 E Pike St, 328-7666. 6 pm registration and rooftop barbecue/9 pm battle, $10 before 10 pm/$15 after, 21+. Costumes required for battlers.)
