you gotta wonder who in the fuck you are publishing this information for. like chances are your demographic already knows all this shit because lets face it, no one from seattle or olympia slums over to tacoma to get drunk and if you're publishing this crap for the home team you are pretty much wasting your time because as one of your contributor's stated on another comment thread: "Love the variety and the familiarity. Big enough so I don't get bored. Small enough so I don't get lost." In other words, you guys know where everything is at, but you've got the object permanence of a group of seniles so you constantly have to report and publish on crap everyone in your demographic already knows about. Unless of course you failed to leave one figure out of your brilliant demographic photo at the top: Private Joe Snuffy. Or is he the one with the idiot smile holding the menu? Please change your name from Volcano to the Fort Lewis Fancy News or the Mcchord Best Value or the Spend your blood money from war here in our pathetic wanna be Seattle mag. Thanks:)

Hey low bar, if you don't like the content, then don't spend time on the Weekly Volcano site. It's really as simple as that. No one is forcing you. Really, dude, what is your problem? Life's too short to get so pissed off about someone putting information about bars on a website.
As for you, Weekly Volcano, thank you. I've lived here for years but I'm always trying to branch out from my old standard haunts and to learn about places that have been around for years and I haven't been to and all of the new places opening up.
