The SECB is at the Red Door in Fremont, where the pro-I-1100 forces (and some TV cameras) are gathered. There is no party food—just the Red Door menu—although owner Pete Hanning bought the SECB our first round. We told Hanning we both just chugged Four Loco. He confessed he drank some Four Loco himself on Halloween eve, along with a friend who had a bunch of magic mushrooms stuffed into his underwear.

The SECB is circulating, interviewing businessmen and lobbyist women about the last time they got "too drunk." Here's our conversation with Bruce Beckett from the Washington Restaurant Association:

When was the last time you got too drunk?
Last holiday season with my family.

What happened?
Lots of fun with family.

Who spilled?
I spilled red wine on myself.

Please rate the spill on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the most boring, 10 being the most fun.
3.

Why?
Because I ruined a pair of pants and a shirt.

OK, thank you.

Holly Chisa is here from the Northwest Grocery Association.

When was the last time you drank too much?
As a lobbyist, every session I imbibe quite a bit.

What's the worst spill you've ever made?
As a former sorority girl, I can always hold my drink.

I heard sorority girls can't hold their alcohol.
I'm not going to touch that.

Ashley Bach is the spokesperson for the Yes on 1100 campaign.

When was the last time you drank too much?
Well I'm a big college football fan, so not that long ago. A couple Saturdays ago.

So what happened when you drank too much?
What happened? The Ducks won.

But give me something that happened. Did you spill some beer nuts on someone?
Do bars still serve beer nuts?

I'm asking the questions here.
No beer nuts spilled, but you can say I did if you want.

So give me one anecdote that might be somewhat amusing about the last time you got drunk with the Ducks.
You know, I had a friend, who last season—

Can we just say it was this season?
He's a Ducks fan, and he buys shots every time the Ducks score. The Ducks score a lot. I don't remember what happened by the time the Ducks scored the last time that game, because the Ducks score a lot.

Nancy Hammond says "I don't represent anyone." What's her drinking story? "I have an 18-year-old son. I don't have any drinking stories."

Onto Pete Hanning...

When was the last time you drank too much?
Saturday night.

What was the occasion?
Halloween costume night at the Red Door.

When did you have your first drink today?
I had a martini this morning at McCormick's and Schmick's right about 12:15 pm.
