Because we are awesome

Better Lovers,
While we bask in the joy of electing one of our nearest and dearest to victory in the hotly contested race to be the BEST BARTENDER IN ALL OF BELLINGHAM, perhaps we should think about purchasing the next book we are to read.

Stiff, by Mary Roach

If you can't find it at your friendly local bookseller, or simply only have the time for internet ordering, may I suggest you purchase it from Better World Books?

Not only is it NOT a corporate mega giant, there is free shipping everywhere in the US, you can offset the carbon emissions of shipping for 25 cents, and a portion of their profits goes to world literacy programs.

Sincerely,
Flanhoodles

Best of Bellingham

Readers rate their favorite haunts, hideouts and hungers

Best Bartender: Don Butler at the Beaver Inn

I dunno. I always find Don a bit gruff, but maybe that’s what readers like in their bartenders, especially during these hard times: Mix ‘em mean, pour ‘em plenty, and leave us to knock ‘em back without a lot of chit-chat. I’ve seen Don expertly mix a few girlish frou-frous, too, then step back and study how they’re consumed with an expression most droll.

Don is the Best!

So apparently there is a "best of Bellingham" list published every year through the Cascadia Weekly and right now they are trying to gather their "bests." Amongst them is who is the best bartender in B-ham.... and the obvious answer is DON from the Beaver! But we need to get the word out.

So, maybe if we all vote, we can get him on the list!

Anyone know what Don's last name is though?

The Great Outdoors

Sexy Readers, hold onto your hats, it's time for the 2nd Annual Better Lovers' Camping Extavaganza!

Occurring during the second weekend in September (18th - 20th), it will be a grand old time of books and beer, nature and naps, marshmallows and memories, carousing and cheer, fires and falafels and Ludacris and lions. (One of these pairs might not be true.)

We have not yet decided where this camping trip is going to occur, so I outlined so
me choices, with pros, cons, and helpful photographs. Make a case for your favorite in the comments.

Pros:
- Semi-close to Bellingham
- Lake AND the ocean accessible
- Free geology lecture, by me
Cons:
- Most of us have probably been there several times
- Nicole looks like this when she camps at Deception Pass





Pros:
- Near Leavenworth, aka near Bavarian fun and wine tasting
- On a lake, so that means we could possibly end up On a Boat, with T-
Pain
- The A&E network named Leavenworth the #1 Holiday Town in America
Cons:
- 3-ish hours from Bellingham
- Holiday themed towns might 'creep out' Jodi



Pros:
- There is a river that you can throw rocks in. It's really fun.
- There is a crick to chill your beer, for Crick Beer.
- It's a National Park
Cons:
- Small campground.
- Close to the highway.
- Bethany Jean has trouble sitting in the camping chair.

Site 4: Larabee
Pros:
- Close to Bellingham for easy commuting
- Fellow campers are easily intimidated into leaving by Wizard Staffs.
- Tide pools
- Kelly may fall into the muck again, that was pretty hilarious.
Cons:
- Been there, done that
- Courtney is really, really scared of the Sheriff

Pros:
- Bethany Jean will be there, saving the wildlife
- Possible whale sightings.
Cons:
- Ghetto Pig has an irrational fear of islands
- Limited camping sites

Site 6: Forks
Pros:
- Site of the greatest work in the history of Literature.
- Interesting local wildlife (spotted owls, werewolves, vampires, salmon)
- Possibility of finding True, Eternal, Undying Love
Cons:
- Kind of far away
- Twilight fans

Who wants to plan a camping trip on a weekend in late August or September?

Thank you.

BL of the Month !

I am very happy that Jack is the BL of the month ... he is very excited also. He is sitting right next to me (whats new?!?) and his little knubbin of a tail (but bigger than Ricky's non-existant tail) is wagging back and forth at an impecable pace.

But, we have to complain because there is nothing written about him! The picture of him in his S2S shirt is fantastic, but come on, a few words/ phrases/ sentences please! If this doesn't happen, Jack will bite you next time he sees you.
