Michael prineas seattle

Could there be a clue in the second article , from July , that John pointed us to? The reason, they say, is because Shaun Williams—a friend of Babalu owner Michael Prineas—threatened a bartender. After closing, on Friday, July 13, the bartender, a young woman who wanted to remain anonymous, asked Williams to lock the front door.

It was scary actually. It was weird how fast he flared. He had to be physically restrained and three guys had to escort him out. I take percent responsibility for what I did wrong. Former staffers seem to agree. They say they felt unsafe working around Williams, who they say hung around a lot. Former bar manager Elizabeth Williams says she had to pay several bands out of her own pocket after Prineas failed to pay for performances.

Other egregious offenses you ask? Hmmm, how about the obnoxious flashing lights they have outside of the building flashing at the apartments above. Man, I would hate to live there. Williams and Prineas are scum. Man, what happened in the past couple years that Wallyhood started to have a night life? That Rolls he drives has a handicap placard on it and I saw him park in the handicap spot at QFC the other day.

The only disability I see is a really fake tan. I work until midnight on weekdays and every time i drive past those flashing lights I think their is a cop behind me. Also, those popped collar douche bags think nothing of walking right in front of your car when you have the green light. GTFO of my Wallingford!

The drunk literally toppled over into the gutter with the leaf sludge; the bartender went back indoors. Prineas owns nothing, including the car. The building, bar and other things are owned by a trust set up by mommy. Not just the bands but he still owes Dr. Thirlby for the laparoscopy handicap parking, ha. I am constantly amazed by peoples false sense of importance.

I consider myself lucky then to have never encountered any of the above annoyances at this establishment. My experience has not been one filled with overtly intoxicated people harassing or causing nuisance to anyone. Nor have I found the evening to wear on into the morning or spill out onto the streets like it does in the downtown scene. I really wonder what the hell you are talking about..

Support your local businesses.. And if you are really so concerned, solicit the local police department for more patrols, and the problems you think you have will shortly resolve themselves. Heaven forbid with some proof and tangible visibility to your perceived issues. They say they felt unsafe working around Williams, who they say hung around a lot. They also cited problems with Prineas's management style.

Former bar manager Elizabeth Williams says she had to pay several bands out of her own pocket after Prineas failed to pay for performances. Prineas counters Williams's accusations. If people don't show up on time to play, don't expect to get the full amount of money. Seattle skatepark supporters faced a stunning setback this week after the planned relocation of the SeaSk8 site, formerly located just east of Seattle Center, screeched to a halt in city council.

While the plan's confirmation by the city council seemed like a sure thing a week ago the full council was set to vote on it July 23 after it passed out of committee on July 18 , approval for the new SeaSk8 spot near the Vera Project, in Seattle Center's Northwest Rooms, has now been delayed for two weeks. Council members raised concerns about the removal of the Du Pen fountain and a loss of open space at the proposed site. However, he's not giving up. Du Pen fountain, if it remains, will be an illegal skate spot anyway, regardless of the approval process.
