“How do you get the gay community’s attention?” asks Keith, the manager of the Eagle. “Spell something wrong.” Don’t I know it.

  1. Yes, did he mean “gay communities’ attention” or “gay community’s attention”?

    At least it doesn’t have that retina-scarring rainbow background anymore.

  7. Jesus. Nobody’s even died, so why does the publicity look funereal?

    There has to be a balance somewhere between Retina-Scarring Rainbow and Morticia Addams Gloomy.

  9. @8:
    if my dark soul were made of ink and despair were my printer, let it be said that ink would never run dry…….

    you may need to load up on the cheap-o paper from office max tho, I got nuthin to cover that.

  14. Will, please stop with the OS rivalry crap. That was over in 1999. Nowadays Windows IS the Mac, complete with pointless transparency, little animations for everything, and icons that look like they’ve been coated in Lucite.

    And everyone going to the bars: please, PLEASE take pictures of yourselves giving a big one-finger salute to the camera for that letter writing fucktard’s benefit.

  16. What genius scheduled this the night before the DOMA Protest March, which asks queers and their allies to show up bright and early at 10:30 am the day after a rip-roaring pub crawl.

    Wouldn’t real courage mean showing up en masse on the very night the threatened poisoning was to occur (Saturday), and also feed off of the energy of flexing one’s political muscle earlier in the day?

    Or is the noticeable fewer posts about the DOMA march indicative of the Stranger’s less-than-enthusiastic support?

  17. Ricin is the new Marlee Ginter. A non-story that no one cares about being covered like 9-11 on Slog. Oh wait, it involves gay people, that means it’s very important. Gay people are sooooo fucking the most important thing ever.

  19. (Let it be noted that the Madison Pub is the only gay bar in Seattle that refused to host a one-night Obama event during last year’s campaign. They said they wanted to remain “politically neutral.” Turnt our politics–especially anti-gay ones–really can hit home, can’t they MadPub?)

  21. Geez, this is starting to look like the bar owners want people to believe they wrote the ricin letter to increase business

  23. Talking to a staffer at Madison Pub last night, I got the impression that they’re happy to have Pub Crawlers come to their bar, and don’t know why the Seattle Times said they were not participating.

    MadPub seemed busier than normal last night. And from what I observed at the service bar, every other drink ordered last night seemed to have a request for “a ricin chaser” or “a ricin twist”.

    I think the letter writer’s attempt to hurt the bars’ revenues has failed.

  24. The Madison Pub has a reputation for not sponsoring any community organizations or contributing to the community at all. Unless you interpret selling beer and booze as being a community service, that is. They were on the previous poster yesterday and now they’re not on the revised one. I’m betting the manager asked that their bar be taken off. It’s consistent with their total lack of community involvement in general.

    Oh, but they do still want your money, though.

  25. Idle query … isn’t alcohol poisoning by overindulgence (say, by trying to get even one drink at each of 11 bars) a more serious public health threat than the relatively rare toxin ricin?

  28. Boozing the night away!
    a novel way to dispel fear and fight terrorism and hate.
    no wonder you clowns got your clock cleaned in California (twice)

  31. @26, wow, that’s not self-interested at all, is it? They know the whole team will come back and drink at the bar afterwards. I’ve heard from several people in community organizations they always say “no” when asked to help. Once even answered, “why would we do that, what’s in it for us?”.

    Several other bars REALLY support the community– The Cuff, Purr, Rosebud, Re-Bar, RPlace, even Changes in Wallingford, to name a few.

    So why isn’t Madison Pub on the new advert for the Pub Crawl? Was it just an oversight? They were there yesterday.

  33. Oh for the fuck all. Yes, we can all be witty and catty and bitchy. But some S.O.B decided to threaten us. All of us. Drop the attitude and the bullshit and let’s just go out there. Yeah, I’m looking at you, you fag (and before anyone squeals like a pig, I’m a fag, too, so shut it). And you, too, you breeder.
