SW Inauguration Party at Spitfire, Hosted by Kerri Harrop

BarackObamaHS.jpg

Kerri Harrop is SW's new marketing director. Her alter ego is DJ Cherry Canoe, she used to manage the Murder City Devils, she's a sucker for a brother in a kilt, and her mother sits in a position of extreme power at the Salmon Bay Eagles. Suffice it to say, if there's anyone qualified to host an Obama inauguration party that begins at 8 a.m., it's Kerri. Following are the details of that party, in Kerri's own words:

Please join us Tuesday, January 20 at Spitfire in celebrating the Inauguration of President Barack Obama at what is guaranteed to be Seattle's liveliest gala. Have you been to Spitfire lately? It is the best place in town to watch tv, no lie. With 22 flatscreens, you are guaranteed a good viewing spot of multiple live tv feeds. Plenty of comfy seating available, too. There will be a special brunch menu in effect, along with all sorts of regular fare, and tasty drink specials. Want an Irish cofffee? Of course you do. O'bama.

We at Seattle Weekly, along with our friends at Spitfire and Worldchanging.com, feel such celebrations should by by the people, and for the people, which is why there is NO COVER CHARGE. NO TICKET PRICE. FREE, just like you and me. The WSLCB , however, doesn't want kids in the joint. Sorry, but Spitfire is 21+.  They do have free wi-fi, though, if that helps.

We'll have some notable local politicians in the house, and a slew of miscreants you know and love.  Seattle Weekly writers will be on deck, and Krist Novoselic will be blogging from our nation's capitol, where we hope he avoids arrest. Doors open at 8AM and ceremonies begin at 9AM. Space is first come, first served, so arrive early and stay late. We will have plenty of champagne on ice. Skip work, call in sick, take a day off -- whatever it takes. We worked hard for this day. Let's do it right.
