Coffee shops turn up the naughty in Puget Sound area

By Associated Press

SEATTLE (AP) - In the Mike Judge film "Idiocracy," set 500 years in the future, coffee stands have turned into sex service stops.

That may not be as far off as the filmmaker imagined because some Puget Sound baristas are wearing flimsy clothes and flirting with customers as they steam their lattes.

Women working at several "Cowgirls Espresso" stands wear lingerie. At Port Orchard's "Natte Latte" baristas wear pink hot pants and tight white tank tops. Bikini tops are the uniform at "Cafe Lorraine" in Woodinville.

At the "Best Friend Espresso" in Kenmore drivers can look through the window at young women in short skirts, high heels and tank tops.

"Best Friend" owner Wayne Hembree says his employees found their tips are better when they wear short skirts.

Giant Cat

The cat was nicknamed Goliath, but his name is really Hercules, according to owner Geoff Ernest.

Keane has cancelled their North America tour for the Fall.

Ticketmaster sucks x2...They refunded me the face value, service charge, but they kept their grubby, greedy hands on the processing charge as per "policy".

What will I do on October 4th you ask? Why haven't you updated your blog? ok ok I am...now.

What was a major inconvience is now a happy resolve. I am going to see Scissor Sisters down the road instead. I was gonna see them in Seattle when I found out they were gonna play the same night as Keane. This works out better!

This will be the 3rd time seeing Scissor Sisters, would of been the 4th time but didn't see them the first time even though I got tix (they were like $10 that time), and the 2nd time this year seeing them.

New cd Ta-Dah is out in 2 weeks 9/28.
