Tony Kay
In addition to holding down, you know, a real-live day job, I scribble freelance for this lovely 'site, Seattle Concerts Examiner, and City Arts magazine. I also host Trivia Night Tuesdays at the Bourbon Bar in Columbia City Theater; serve as schlockologist for Bizarro Movie Nights at the Aster Coffee Lounge in Ballard; and took home the ass-end of a trophy competing against fellow movie nerds on the Independent Film Channel's Ultimate Film Fanatic game show a few years back.
