![]() FINALLY... a rock music club on Capital Hill that I feel at home in. I’m talking about the new King Cobra, which with it’s utlra-cool chic decor and two-tiered layout is probably the coolest Rock club in Seattle since the Offramp back in the ‘90s. Even cooler actually, it is indeed the “rocket bomb” and gets the Paul Ace Diamond “Huggy” Blow seal of approval. Here’s wishing lots of luck and success to Jenny and the others running the joint and I sincerely hope they don’t have to ever veer from the Rock format to pay the bills. It was also nice to see Jimmy Flame & the Sexxy Boys back in action rocking the Cobra stage. Speaking of music venues and such, I once swore a solemn oath I would never set foot into a sports bar (a sports bar being any bar that has more than five TV sets all showing basketball, football, or air hockey games), but I just had to go to Goofy’s on Crown Hill to see the Midnight Idols, especially considering that the Idols are one of my favorite local bands, the bar is in my neighborhood, and there was no cover charge. The Midnight Idols play old-school metal in the vein of Judas Priest and Iron Maiden and are fronted by the incredible “Diamond C” who totally reminds me of a young, non-gay Rob Halford but with darker hair. That night the Idols ripped it up as usual, but the only downside was that the band room was stuffy and muffled sounding and I was constantly hit on by women who appeared to be crack-smoking ho’s even though I was with a date. What’s up with THAT??? However, if you want to hear some good old blistering metal that ROCKS, I recommend you check out the Midnight Idols at myspace.com/idols and tell them Huggy Blow sent you. And that is my rock’n’roll PSA of the month... In other news, my attempt to persuade Sinner publisher Chuck to run a series of full-color nude centerfolds of all the Sinner writers has apparently failed. I even volunteered to be the first to pose with my own Burt Reynolds-inspired centerfold, but I guess Chuck has decided the readers are just not ready for that yet. Yeah... you guys aren’t ready. It’s too bad because even Guitar Doug was excited about the idea and was rumored to have been spending some quality time on the Nautilus preparing for his own photoshoot. HOWEVER... I am contemplating running my centerfold photo in the space of next month’s Huggy Talk column. Chuck can’t stop me. Nobody can stop me. I am above the law. Tune in next month and see if it flies... until then, here’s some questions from readers that have rolled into my HUGGY TALK inbox: Dear Faye, Dear Huggy, Dear MS, Dear Huggy, Dear Dano, HUGGY BLOW’S FASHION TIP OF THE MONTH: Got a question for Huggy Blow?
