Dave Meinert is buying Mecca (second point). Just thought he could it ride out. Oh what’s a little rape and harassment? I mean, he only owns one restaurant, hasn’t he suffered enough? If anything, he’s the real victim of his repeated predatory behavior over many years. And I thought you were in favor of restorative justice, isn’t that where men don’t get punished in any way, and get to own another restaurant?

With Sarah Huckabee Sanders leaving the White House, who will not give press briefings? Who will they find to spread gossip and administration spin? Who will be described as a “senior administration official” in the press when quoting them adds nothing to their story?
The store in front of the bus stop near Drinking Liberally always has delivery cars parked in it. At least at the time I am leaving. Yesterday. Yesterday! Yesterday, the delivery car pulled into the stop while the bus was at the red light. Don’t do that. I realize parking can be at a premium in Capitol Hill, but not so much at 10:30. In conclusion gaaah.
It’s Tuesday…and that’s Drinking Liberally night in Seattle. So please join us for an evening of politics over a pint at the Seattle Chapter of Drinking liberally.

I have seen many great shows at The Showbox. It will be sad if we see it go. Still, I saw a lot of great shows at other venues that aren’t there anymore. And live music continues. Hopefully new venues will take its place.
Important update! Last week I asked about where to watch the Women’s World Cup. Thanks to those who had thoughts. Here’s a better place to look. Hopefully this draws a conclusion to me posting about it.

The last time I took a bus to Olympia, the entire way between Tacoma and Olympia, I was sat next to a very talkative man. Y’all! He had so much to say about his neighbor’s herpes. On and on and on.
Anyway, people complain about the Seattle freeze, and there was recently some discussion about it on Twitter. But I love it. It is a lovely combination of Nordic stoicism and big city life. Small talk is great but not with randos. I love not talking to you. I know that it isn’t for everyone, but I appreciate it so hard.
Is I wrong to just use this to thread to figure out where to watch the Women’s World Cup? I don’t own a TV, so when I want to watch sports, I have to go out (or stream). Men’s international soccer, especially the World Cup, usually has bars open whenever. But on the women’s side, there are fewer options. So do you know of anywhere that will be hosting games, even when time zones make it tough?
