Pray 4 Mister Bister. The NorthSide Barber in Salmon Creek is offering Haircuts for a Cause now through June 18, 2011.

What is Haircuts for a Cause? Pretty simple: get a haircut for $10, and $5 will be donated to a fund to help local resident Randy Bister with medical expenses for cancer treatment.

NorthSide Barber is located at 1311 NE 134th Street, just behind the Wayside Market (home of the famous “Beer Cave ). For more information, give them a call at 360-573-7292.

Pizza Night (or day) at the Wayside Market in Salmon Creek.

Every Tuesday, for as long as I can remember, it’s Pizza Two-fer Tuesday at the Wayside Market.  Two Pizzas for $5.  And that’s two pizzas with anything you want on them.  Today was “Everything” and “Canadian Bacon”.

Walk in (1309 NE 134th Street) or call ahead (574-0155).  My teenage son has them on speed-dial on his phone so they must be good! 

If you like a cold brew with your pizza, be sure to check out their “Beer Cave”.  They claim to have the coldest beer in town.  What do you think?

Thanks Northside Barber in Salmon Creek for saving my son from himself.

Our family has been going to Northside Barber for quite some time now.  So when they decided to move their business to Salmon Creek (behind the Wayside Market), I was thrilled.

So thrilled, that today I let my two sons ride their bikes there to get a haircut.  Alone. “Use your best judgment”, I said; to an eleven year old and a thirteen year old on summer vacation.   I confidently gave them a check, tip included, and money for a Slushie at the Wayside after the haircut.

Then, I get the call.

“Mom, Josh (11 year old) got a mullet but Marci (hair stylist) made me call you to make sure it’s OK.” Uh, NO.  (And thanks for taking the picture).

So thanks Marci, for two things.  One, you actually listened to my 11 year old and gave him the mullet cut he was looking for.  Two, you had my 13 year old call me before you let the mullet-man out of your chair.

You guys rock!
