TPD & DList Magazine Present: The biggest Cinco De Mayo party in Seattle, May 5th @ Venom with a LIVE performance by Pittsburgh Slim! Sponsored by Don Julio & Grand Marnier, this is sure to be one hell of an event!
If you all remember our last Tuesday night holiday party at Venom in 2006, you know what is going to go down. For all of you who don’t let us refresh your memory…
Party down.
To summarize, there is a proposal in our state legislature that could completely revitalize nightlife as we know it. It does a few things, most importantly it removes the cities regulatory power over NightClubs. This essentially eliminates the cities ability to protest liquor licenses, which is something that normally occurs after any minor incident. It also makes it easier for entrepreneurs to open up new clubs as it eliminates costly food requirements. Lobby your state congressmen/women, lets work together and make this happen.

Electric Hendrix Vodka
It seems that every time you see a bottle of Hendrix Electric Vodka on a bar shelf someone has to bring up the court battle. If you haven’t the slightest clue what I’m referring to then let me fill you in. In 2005 Craig Dieffenbach and Leon Hendrix (Jimi’s half brother) decided that they were going to develop and start marketing a new Vodka bearing Jimi’s name and likeness on the bottle, of course, like all responsible business men, they did so without permission. What makes this story even better, is that Leon Hendrix had not only been cut out of the will by his father Al who was in control of Jimi’s estate until 2002, but he also lost a court battle with his sister who currently controls the estate, for a cut of the estates $80,000,000 worth. I guess good old Leon thought that the 3rd time would be a charm. Unfortunately someone popped his entrepreneurial bubble, requiring Craig Dieffenbach and Leon to pay 3,200,000 in damages as well as pull the product from every shelf it currently rests on. So if you see it anywhere, have a shot, it won’t be there for long.
