Got this press release yesterday from Mercury Seattle. There's nothing on their website other than an address and that is pretentious. I know some of the people that work there and they are good folks. Very secretive, though. And pretentious.

Readers of today's Seattle Times (Mayor Nickels gets 2nd challenger, ex-official of Sierra Club Michael McGinn) won't find out about Mercury, or the mysterious pizza parlor where McGinn made his announcement. That would be Piecora's, where the ladies from legendary early-90s Seattle band Seven Year Bitch used to work.

Dear Member of the Media:

Michael McGinn will be making an announcement tomorrow at Piecora’s Pizza on Capitol Hill. Please join him at 11:30 a.m.

When: Tuesday, March 24 at 11:30 a.m.

Where: Piecora’s Pizza 1401 East Madison St
