ONE WEEK FROM TODAY on the lovely rooftop deck of downtown’s Hard Rock Cafe, it’s the Jimmy Hendricks Manpurse Happy Hour!
On Wednesday, AUGUST 31, from 5 to 8 p.m., let all fans of Slog, The Stranger, rock and/or roll, lovely outdoor rooftop decks, and/or cheap booze gather together!
Get a commemorative photo with a certain deceased Seattle rock star’s manpurse, which may or may not still contain hits of LSD (it’s behind glass, don’t even think about it)! We cannot name the deceased rock star for legal reasons, but the Hard Rock Cafe has the manpurse as a part of its extensive rock and/or roll memorabilia collection. We’re inviting this happy hour’s namesake, one James Hendricks of Seattle, and we shall also see if our dear friend Tom Skerritt can join us.
Mark your calendars! Drink specials—and they are good—after the jump.
· $5 boilermakers—a draft beer with shot of Jim Beam
· well drinks for $3.30 each (Smirnoff, Beefeater, Bacardi, Sauza, Cutty Sark, Jack Daniels)
· half-off draft beers ($2.60 to$3.10 each) and Washington wines ($3.15 to $4.50)
· plus half-off most appetizers.
The Jimmy Hendricks Manpurse Happy Hour!
Ah, the man purse.
I recently held forth on this very topic, regarding Seattle’s own intolerance of all things Satchel.

Fuck the Hard Rock and all who sail in her.
@3 – Watch out for splinters, and remember, when you fuck the Hard Rock Cafe, you’re fucking everyone who has ever fucked that bar.
Sorry, I’ll be driving to my sister’s wedding in Utah and playing my HitRecord of Nirvana and other tuneage.
Finally the right bar for me to drunkenly whip my junk out in.
@6, further to MacCrocodile’s cautioning, be careful where you whip it in there, lest you snag your foreskin on the zip of some tourist’s fanny pack.
Have a meeting confilct that night. Maybe next time give us a little more notice – AND go back to Thursdays?
@6 promises, promises! i’ll see you there, and i’m going to hold you to this.
idn’t it hendrix with an ‘x’ ?
@9 – You best believe I’ll be there, and I’ll be holding him to lots of things.
@8: Because of the rooftop deck, we wanted to squeeze it into August, and because of logistics (not my fault!), details weren’t ironed out until today… I know it’s short notice, sorry!
@riz: Some people do spell it that way, but a certain dead person’s estate doesn’t like it if the rest of us do! Hi!
The rooftop deck is kind of awesome….
So I actually have a reason to enter that tourist trap? I wasn’t sure that would ever happen. $5 boilermakers on the roof does sound nice. That’s the day we’re supposed to be out of our old apartment, so I can’t promise anything, but if we’re all done moving/cleaning we’ll be there!
it will be the best Tom Skerrit photobomb ever. EVER.
wisepunk, if you manage to get your whipped-out junk into a Tom Skerritt photobomb I will contribute $100 to the charity of your choice.
Yeah!
Also, I would like the Slogiverse to know this event will commemorate my last day as an Admin. Asst.
This will be a grand party.
@ Hernandez, please come. You and the Mrs. will be in need of a few drinks after a day of moving. Wisepunk already said he’d buy them for you, and MacCrocodile’s going to hold him to it.
We have a Hard Rock Cafe? I was stunned to realize that the orange color I drive by on the way home from work is actually the south lake union Hooters. “We have a Hooters? In Seattle?”
Woot!
It’s Jimi Hendrix, in’it?
@21 – You must be thinking of somebody else.
