There's a book at the end of all this, right? I'm in for a copy, it'll be a great tale. Thanks for the various updates on your research.

Outstanding, thanks for the link.

While I on the other hand, really appreciated that old Fugazi clip, very nice.

In particular you should find that Fugs tune, Amphetamine Bum. I've got a compilation from a friend with that song on it, and its flat out amazing regardless of the year it was recorded.

If reading their posts just aggravates him and leaves him unhappy, ill-tempered, and prone to saying things best left unsaid, then using the "ignore" function is a reasonable response. As a moderator, I've never considered the ignore button an option, I need to be able to read anything anyone writes. In truth, I'm seldom tempted by it anyway, even if once in awhile someone punches one of my buttons.

Heels behind his ears and begging for more, I tell you, that Bill is a helluva sweet ride.

I don't believe the Capitol Forest has ever had a bear mauling, and they're quite rare in the state as a whole. The only fatality in Washington that casual research turned up was a 4 year old girl killed near Glenwood, WA in 1974. Wikipedia has an interesting List of Fatal Bear Attacks in North America. Fear is not a rational thing though, so accurate information and an understanding of statistics may not be enough. Also, bears are complex intelligent animals with a wide range of behaviors. Like people, some will help you when you're in need and others will take everything you own.

Hmmm, Tvash hasn't been posting either. Choada, could you call 911 again?

Q: Why is Beacon Rock like a Roach Motel? Anyone got any pictures of this route?

Well, I can offer you a song with a Human League reference in the lyrics... [video:youtube]

I think Porter's pointing out that it's lame to make fun of someone for posting climbing content rather than blabber about what some blowhard said on the radio. Thanks for restating yourself Pilchuck, I know that for me chalking is at least partially a calming ritual, and it helps even when the little sack is almost completely empty.

I put this one up special for you Kev [video:youtube]

Here's one from our friends up north [video:youtube]

Jeffrey Lewis though rocks my dome, he just played Olympia in this woman's garage: [video:youtube]

Yeah, but "Pedal" played live was a revelation. Of course, they broke up the next day.

A little history lesson... [video:youtube]

He may be only one old man with a fiddle, but John Specker is punk as fuck. [video:youtube]

Oh, now I do love me some Black Keys, thank you very much. It was ol' DFA on this very website that first turned me on to them, and after seeing them open for Sleater Kinney I've been smitten ever since. [video:youtube] get up on the stage for the dance party [video:youtube]

If you like that frictiony stuff, Crest Jewel offers a comparable view from the other side of the valley, highly recommended. Kind of the anti-wide, the wide open...
