HASTE MAKES WASTE
I’m often criticized for waiting until the last minute to book performers. I say there’s a method to my madness in that delaying until the 11th hour provides an opportunity to get national talk show publicity when a performer calls and says, “I just got ‘Letterman’ and I need a date out of town that Dave can plug.” Anyway, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Scuttlebutt: The beat goes on.
It's been just over a year since we reopened on Occidental Park. It was a daunting challenge to recreate an atmosphere similar to that enjoyed for 27 wonderful years at 222 South Main but to a great extent and with all due modesty, I'd say we’ve pulled it off.

TALK ABOUT CHARM
The producers of "Leverage," the hip new TNT series starring Oscar-winner Timothy Hutton, were looking for an actor to play an Italian Boston cop named Joey Cospito who gets set up in a diamond heist. So of course they picked Seattle's own favorite Mexican-English-German comedian, Vince Valenzuela. The bad news is that he gets the hell beat out of him (Vince still has the bruises to prove it) and shot in the episode. The good news is that he has a couple one-on-one scenes with Hutton. Check out episode eight, "The Ice Man Job," on On Demand or when it reruns.

COMEDIAN SEARCHING FOR A WIFE, ER, LIFE
Andy Haynes just can’t stay still. He moved from The Emerald City to The Big Apple last summer (fortunately, he returns to feature with Cathy Sorbo here, 9/17-19) and has made three trips to Latin America just this year. “I stay in dodgy hotels, eat well and sit on the beach to avoid jumping off the beautiful bridges in New York. Really, it’s just vacationing but I like to think I’m in danger, so coming home is still appealing.”
