Charge: Felon pretended to be cop, held escort against her will
By MARTHA KANGKOMO-TV
A convicted felon with what prosecutors call an “egregious criminal record” is accused of holding a woman against her will while impersonating a police officer and pressuring her to perform sex acts.
Julian D. Tarver, 25, of Seattle has been charged with first-degree kidnapping, first-degree criminal impersonation and first-degree attempted extortion in an incident that occurred at his home on Aug. 21.
According to court documents, Tarver called a California-based escort service and asked that someone be sent to his home in the 700 block of North 95th Street.
Shortly after a woman arrived, Tarver allegedly flashed a badge and said he was an undercover Seattle police officer working on a sting operation. He told her U.S. marshals were stationed outside and that if she tried to flee, “they would ‘fire or take you down,’” the statement said.

And some, like Ryan, with a personal stake in a downtown that has been promoted for years as rising or about to turn a corner arent sure downtown Bremerton will ever live up to the hype.
Under former Mayor Cary Bozemans leadership, change was the buzzword. In 2002, he rolled out a six-year plan for the area, which led to a facelift that included the ferry tunnel, a marina and the Harborside Fountain Park. The Seattle Times in 2004 declared the town was on the brink of prosperity and in 2008 named Gorst home to Kitsap Countys only strip club a neighborhood of the week for its real estate potential. A $38,500 contract agreement in 2008 between the city and Seattle-based public relations firm Nyhus Communications further fueled the interest surrounding Bremertons revival, with images of the Harborside parks fountain popping up everywhere, even on police cars.

Charge: Convicted arsonist impersonates Seattle cop, kidnaps prostitute
‘Last time I told the truth … I spent four years in prison,’ man allegedly tells police
A Seattle man sent to prison as a teen after a yearlong crime spree is back behind bars on allegations that he tried to extort sex from an escort by impersonating a police officer.
Charged Monday with kidnapping and other crimes following his arrest last week, Julian Daniel Tarver, 25, stands accused of holding the escort at his Greenwood neighborhood apartment for more than three hours while claiming to be a Seattle police officer.
“The defendant’s willingness to impersonate law enforcement presents a real danger to the community,” said Sean O’Donnell, a King County senior deputy prosecutor.
“His conduct involves impersonating a Seattle police officer, threatening the victim that she would be shot, holding her against her will for hours and attempting to extort sex from her in exchange for her release,” …

Ways to Celebrate Bumbershoot, #5
People in the Park, 1976 Bumbershoot Poster by Jacob Lawrence, courtesy of One Reel
In honor of its 40th anniversary, Bumbershoot rolled out a list of 40 ways you can help celebrate. They’ve been going on all summer, which means you missed out. It’s never too late to party, though, so we’re here to suggest 5 last-minute ways to participate.
The festival later known as Bumbershoot started in 1971, before most of us were born. It was a very different era.
The first article with the moniker Bumbershoot in the Seattle Times ran in 1973 on the entertainment pages. It was right next to ads for strip clubs as well as porn films at Bellevue’s drive-in movie theater.
Another Bumbershoot Festival ‘73 article discussed grants dispensed by a number of arts organizations. Unity, a performance by black artists, received the kingly sum of $1000 in state and federal funds. But the article goes on to describe $1000 from Allied Arts to young director Karl Kr …

Colacurcio Partners Sued; Ex-Strip Club Pal Says They Asked Him to Help Pay Crime Fine
​The blowback from the Frank Colacurcio Sr. racketeering case continues to spread with yet another lawsuit, this one filed by a former part-owner of Honey’s, the Everett-area strip property turned over to the government as part of a plea-bargained settlement. Phil McKibben says he was screwed over by his four partners including Frank Colacurcio Jr. Never indicted, McKibben says he got nothing in return for the club and was even told to pay $145,000 as part of his partners’ plea. He didn’t.
McKibben is suing Leroy Christiansen, David Ebert and Steven Fueston, partners of late stripper king Colacurcio Sr. The three pleaded guilty to racketeering and prostitution charges in connection with their operation of Honey’s, Rick’s in Lake City, and two other Colacurcio clubs. They received probation in return for forfeiting the four club properties, worth $4.5 million, to the U.S.

In heavy metal circles, Queensryche is most widely known for their landmark 1988 concept album, Operation: Mindcrime which told the story of a disillusioned youth, Nikki, who fell in love with a nun turned prostitute, Mary, and became an assassin under the thrall of the megalomaniacal Dr. X. Dr. X used revolutionary rhetoric to manipulate the disenfranchised drug addict into killing targets which really only furthered Dr. X’s corporate interests. Often compared to The Who’s Tommy, much of the social observations in the song lyrics are far nearer to the Who’s Quadrophenia, and of course there are obvious comparisons to Pink Floyd’s The Wall, as well. Adam Pascal, star of Broadway productions of Rent and Aida has expressed interest in bringing the album to Broadway as a musical, with himself in the role of Nikki.

Once, I don’t remember why, but it must have been something about our catching our first King, so large it seemed like we’d scored some floppy sea monster, the fishermen were nice to us. Oh boy, we’re finally accepted! We’re good, good buddies with the natives now! In fact, we felt so accepted, we blew off fishing that day and walked up to a bar with a couple of T’Klinkits.
It ended up being a nightmare because we landed in a strip club (how could I not have guessed?) where one women was gyrating on the bar, another swung from a trapeze. After an hour of trying to appear as if the strippers were the most interesting floorshow, the fishermen the most riveting conversationalists, I got so drunk I ended up on my knees in the ladies’ room.

The play is a one man show written and performed by the previously mentioned bouncer Ron Richardson. Well, maybe one man show isn’t fair, it also features Kirsten Lauzon, but she spent the entirety of the play back lit behind a wide screen slithering her shadow like nobody’s business. But she let’s her body do the talking, whereas Ron uses a series of confessional style stories in outlining his eight years spent at the self described “Temple of Poon.” And they’re pretty juicy little tales.
Act One is, of course, background on his life, a quick snapshot on an 18 year old from Walla Walla who’s five item bucketlist included working at a strip club. We learn about the club, the owners and operations who drive the place, but where things get really interesting is when he talks about the girls. Funny and realistic without ever falling into the easy cliches of sex workers, he brings the ladies to life in a hilarious and heartfelt way that allows them be at once sexual volcanoes and human beings. Big ups to that, it’s no easy feat and was appreciated.
