While You're in Seattle - The Shanty!!!

The house I've been living in for several years, which Claudine and I will be calling home until we outgrow it, is a modest one. This has meant I've had to forego a "ManLand" and the acoutrements that go along with it. Luckily, the Shanty Tavern (my second living room, my Moe's) is right down the road!

This family owned bar - a total dive in the best sense of the word - is run by a dad and daughter who have come to know Greg, myself, and our friends, and have helped us to host many everything from birthday parties to Bible studies. We pre-funk there before concerts, and go there after movies. It's the place we take out-of-townies if we have one night to catch up and have a blast. They let us decorate, bring food in, and allow dogs. They love Claudine. There's always, room, it's never too loud (except for the night the UW Huskies were hiding out there after a loss - at the peak of my weight I was asked if I was on the team!!!), and they have three pool tables, darts, pinball, free pretzels, and $6.50 pitchers of PBR.

We love this place, and would love for you to see and enjoy it with us. We are looking for opportunities to spend some quality time with each of you during this crazy wedding weekend. so plan on joining us there on Friday night the 16th for some beer, billards, and our last night as single people. Show up, meet some folks, and save the tables at 9, we'll come by as soon as we get out of the rehearsal dinner - by 10. See you there!
