LOCAL EVENTS: 5TH ANNUAL TOM WAITS TRIBUTE NIGHT AT CONOR BYRNE PUB

If a town has a Tom Waits tribute night, you know that burg has style. We already knew that about Seattle, so it shouldn't be a suprise to find out there is a tribute for ol' gravelthroat in our fair city. Commemorating his birthday of December 7th, the folks down at the Conor Byrne Pub here in Ballard have been putting on a tribute night for the last few years. Tomorrow is the 5th annual show, and it's a hodge podge assortment of locals with enough talent and chutzpah to get up and sing 0ne for Tom. Last year was a complete hoot and we recommend you be there tomorrow night at the Conor Byrne for some damn fine songs, some pasties and a g string, and a piano that'll drink you under the table.
