I am so pleased to announce next week’s new and improved and evolved son of Slog Happy: Tom Skerritt Happy Hour!

It’s called Tom Skerritt Happy Hour in honor of the final week of SIFF, and also because everyone’s favorite Tom Skerritt, Tom Skerritt, will ACTUALLY BE THERE! All Skerritting around and stuff! With you!

Tom Skerritt Happy Hour will take place NEXT Wednesday, June 8, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. Vermillion Gallery and Wine Bar (1508 11th Ave) is graciously hosting, and providing some Skerriffic food and drink specials, including the Top Gun (a Rainier tallboy and a shot of Jack, $7) and the Sloppy Sheriff Jimmy Brock (sloppy joes, $3 each).

See you there, loved ones!

  1. Tom Skerrit once stopped into the gas station I worked at in North Seattle. He bought a 6-pack of Heineken and was driving a very new, clean, and white convertible sedan.
    (But dnt_trst_me, this is the internet, storytelling news accounts are about as reputable as lizards on Wall Street/White House, especially if I were to blow smoke out my ass, and say the whole thing was very Keynesian.)

  2. There is no “Our Town” — it begins and ends with Top Gun. Can you bring him down to Portland so I can ask him why they didn’t just have him fly as Maverick’s rio during that last battle out over the Indian Ocean instead of having Merlin in there. Merlin was a dick. And you can tell Tom I said so!

  3. @6: Perhaps he already has, and is in fact a long-time slogger. Which local slog denizen has never been seen IRL? My money is on gloomy gus.
