Mother’s Day at the Octopus Bar

Apparently, not everyone books a staid eggs benedict brunch with Mom at Ray’s or Salty’s or the other usual and accustomed Seattle locations for Mother’s Day.  Or—credit the Octopus Bar for a little creativity to get the old girl out for something she might really WANT to do this time, god forbid.  We received this heads-up from the Octopus about their plans for the day, and it would be something of a travesty to not give it some airplay on our heavily trafficked site

Don’t let Mother’s Day be stale again this year. Sure the spa is nice, sure brunch on the waterfront is pretty, but wouldn’t it be great to get to know her over a boozy day of gifts and games?

Shake things up this year by bringing her to The Octopus Bar, where there ain’t no hood like Motherhood!  Get closer by playing “Truth or Drink: Mom Edition” where you can be brutally honest with each other, or drink!  Play BINGO after for the chance at some spectacular prizes including getting to destroy the world’s largest pregnancy test (pinata)!  Then belt it out with mom on stage during karaoke with KJ Kuddles!

Reservations are encouraged but not required. [email protected]

Mom’s secret stash bags available while supplies last. Doesn’t have to be your mom either! Bring your sister, your auntie, your friend’s mom, whoever has been there for you and deserves to be celebrated!

Schedule:
12 pm to – 4 pm Truth or Drink: You’re 15 cards away from getting to know each other better than you ever thought possible! Sip and nibble over questions like “What percentage of time do you think I am completely full of shit?” and “Describe your sex life with a movie title and explain your reasoning?” Can’t stand to answer: slam that drink special. Feel like being honest: open up your relationship like you never thought possible!
4 pm – 6 pm BING BONG BINGO: Stay for Bingo with Liza Danger and Thaleia! $1 cards! Awesome prizes! 6 rounds and the final BLACK OUT round winners will have the honor of breaking open our handmade, worlds largest pregnancy test pinata full of wacky prizes.
6 to late: Karaoke! Belt out those 70’s, 80’s and 90’s classics you used to sing in the car with Mom but on stage WITH MOM! How better to enjoy a cocktail or two and enjoy true embarrassment! Free!

 

Just to be clear here: Wallyhood assumes no responsibility if you actually take your mom, or anyone else’s mom, to participate in the above activities. And we are not liable for the years of therapy that may be necessary afterward. We are, after all, a mere neighborhood clarion.

(Happy Mother’s Day  from Wallyhood to all of you moms out there!)
