I want to rock and roll all night
Nicholas Blossom, a 21-year-old drummer in the rock group Alaska Alaska, was partying Saturday night at a third-story apartment in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood. Blossom got a little too drunk, and at 4 a.m., he fell off the apartment’s balcony. His head landed on the fence of a second-floor balcony of an adjoining building, where a spiked fence punctured his head. Rescuers arrived and were able to use a buzz saw to free Blossom from the fence. He was then taken to Bellevue Hospital, where he is
currently in stable condition. We smell a new single.
Criminal loots bank, hangs around and gets caught
This past Saturday in Fairfax, Va., a man was arrested for bank robbery. Oddly enough, when police arrived, the man was still standing in the parking lot with his loot. Even though there was a three-minute gap between the robbery and his arrest, no one can explain why the man failed to leave the bank premises. Perhaps the scenery
was nice?
Driver’s daring doggy deliverance discontinues in DWI
This past Saturday in Monroe, N.Y., a man was arrested for DWI after he tried to save an endangered stray dog. When the man drove to the police station to ask for directions to the nearest animal shelter, the officer noticed a smell of alcohol on his breath. He was arrested on the spot. An officer then proceeded to take the canine to an animal shelter. Looks like the “fuzz” aren’t always so “soft” with good samaritans.
Exposure in the Emerald City
Citizens of Seattle have been voting on Mayor Mike McGinn’s Web site about what the city needs to do to improve. The top two votes were for expanding the city’s light rail system and legalizing marijuana. The third was for creating a nude beach. It may seem odd given the climate of the rainy city, but nudeness in Seattle is not entirely uncommon. In June, the Freemont neighborhood’s Solstice Parade is composed of nude bicyclists with body paint. During the summer, nudists flock to Lake Washington and secluded regions along Puget Sound.
