Dan Savage is in the lead with 27 percent of the vote. But we must not let him win. Look, we like Dan and all—he’s the only one with the key to unchain us from our desks—but he’s out of town. Boe the Scarf Dancer—who at second place has 17 percent of the vote—is in Seattle always. He attends every festival, concert, parade, march, rally, street fair and sit in! When a hippie needs a half-naked man to spin florescent gauze before him, Boe is there. When the crows make a mess and there is no one to pick up the litter, Boe is there. Only Boe can save us! The stakes are high. The price is low—so go: Vote Boe!
Update: Boe is closing the gap, but he still needs 19 votes to pull into the lead. Vote for Boe: Do it for democracy.
Update 2: Boe is only three votes away from the lead. Vote here.
Update 3: Boe the Scarf Dancer has danced his way to the lead. But no time to rest on our ROYGBIV scarves quite yet. Slow and steady wins the race. Boe never dances too fast; he might not make it to the end of the concert to pick up trash. Keep voting.
Oh, THAT guy is Boe the Scarf Dancer!?! I want to change my vote. Boe IS Seattle. Everytime I see him, I have to tell some one nearby that I saw him naked in the Fremont Soltice parade. It was unforgettable.
Did anyone ask Boe if he wants his image used for a marketing gimmick? That could be a nice interview.
I love Boe!
Oh yeah? I saw him at the spontaneous Capitol Hill Election night party! Obama just won and WHO is the only person getting naked? Yes, I didn’t expect to feel disappointed that night either…
Dan, shirtless. That’s what we should have.
You guys screwed this up by posting about it. If you hadn’t, the crow would’ve maintained its justified lead. Screw you, anti-crow Slog readers!
What I want to know is, where the hell is Slats in this poll?
WHY are people voting for Dan? To be funny? I mean, I think he’s fabulous but I know a lot of people loathe him. And, he’s not really a symbol of Capitol Hill…he works here, drinks here, etc but you folks need to remember, HE ABANDONED US FOR SEVERAL YEARS TO LIVE ON FUCKING VASHON ISLAND!!!
Slats can be rude and unpleasant and isn’t deserving of the honor…
Never said I liked the guy, just that his drugged out hipster look is the personification of capitol hill… it’s either that, or a big ol’ queen, in which case Dan should win hands down.
Seriously, the Crow deserves to win.
I thought it was Capitol Hill specific icons. Boe belongs to ALL of Seattle!
Slats!
I saw Boe at the Yuri’s Night Bay Area party last April. On a NASA research facility near San Francisco. He was dancing to Phil Lesh. AND HE HAD A VIP PASS!! DUDE IS FUCKING EVERYWHERE!!
@12 Yeah, but c’mon, we all know that Boe deserves to be on a dollar bill waaaaaay more than any of the other candidates (Slats included).
Slats is not a hipster! That’s ridiculous!
And, he’s the personification of OLD Captitol Hill circa 1996.
The aptly named Boe Odyssey is timeless.
Slats Grobnik?
ok, then vote for Purple Mark, he lives on the Hill.
I love how this is all a scheme perpetrated by the Museum of Mysteries.

good ideas are often put out there by creative people
god knows neither the Chamber or BIA have any of that energy
great idea, it will float and help dollars to be spent on the Hill
oh, shut up, strangeways. dan and his family live on capitol hill not far from me. perhaps a closer reading of SLOG might have told you that.
