Capitol Hill Block Party 2008

If you didn’t get a chance to go, this is an outdoor concert with plenty of strange folk on the hill dancing in the streets. My girlfriend won a vibrating egg from Babeland who had a Star Wars c**k ring toss. Jones Soda handed out free cans of pop which made an excellent mixer for the flask of tequila in my back pocket. Thankfully the obnoxious punk music took stage along a side street.

Anyhow, I had a friend in town over the weekend to go see Chromeo. Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to attend the entire event, but I have to say the event was overall pretty fun. Chromeo rocked! I overheard a lot of people talking about Girl Talk, but missed the performance.

Second to getting a finger point from Dave 1, and a head nod from P-Thugg for dancing in the street with my 45″ Fancy Footwork sleeve, one of my favorite parts of the weekend was how Neumos continues to prove to be the worst bar in Seattle with retarded bouncers who threw a fit when Dave 1 tried taking the stage.

Dave 1 tried to take the stage and a Neumos bouncer grabbed him and stopped him from climbing the steps. The bouncer, who had no idea who he was accosting, yelled at Dave angrily. Those standing close to the situation (including myself) tried to intervene but were unsuccessful. Dave was obviously upset when he explained to P-Thugg what had just happened to him.

If you missed it, be sure to go next year. But, steer clear of Neumos. Here’s plenty of reviews about other people’s negative experience at Neumos.
