Are your tastes a bit less political than SuperTuesday parties or coarser than an after-hours visit to SAM's Gates of Paradise exhibit? Tempted by a bit of the underworld, are you? Thinking of heading down to Pioneer Square for the Mardi Gras revelry? Have some beads you'd like to trade for a glimpse of titty? All we can say is: the man is expecting you.

We remember what happened seven years ago, when poor Kristopher Kime got himself beaten to death on the street while cops stood by and did nothing. Not taking any chances tonight, those coppers. They've pulled their fearsome mobile command units up to the fire hydrants at First & Yesler, ready to do battle.
