CACTUS MOON SALOON; EVERETT, WA<br />
Meow or Rawr, pick your poison<br />
7<br />
By Ty Hughes<br />
Twenty-two years<br />
ago, a tradition was<br />
borne. It was up to<br />
the girls to bring<br />
<strong>for</strong>th (young); give<br />
birth to: to bear a<br />
child. But this time<br />
it was a girl's-only<br />
party. And you'd better like to play<br />
darts, because 22 years ago, a few<br />
means Cat Fight at the Cactus Moon<br />
Saloon in Everett, off 128th St. exit<br />
I-5. Well, New Years Day, 2011 would<br />
prove to be another fantastic day of<br />
lady-darts as expected.<br />
Teresa Hestkind, Coordinator,<br />
was loose and friendly, fun and<br />
whimsical all day long. She was in<br />
a great mood and kept track of the<br />
team signup and tournament charts<br />
of course.<br />
and Renton came up with an exiting<br />
3rd place finish - congratulations to<br />
Trish and Anita on a great day on the<br />
boards! <strong>The</strong>y each snagged a trophy<br />
and some cash.<br />
This set the stage <strong>for</strong> the final<br />
match that day to determine this<br />
year's champions. Mary and Angie,<br />
Flights Pub, would go to battle with<br />
Charissa and Sara, Cloud 9. Mary and<br />
Angie pulled it out to become crowned<br />
Champs of the 22nd Annual 2011 Cat<br />
Fight! Way to go guys, tearin' it up! Of<br />
course, huge props to Charissa and<br />
Sara <strong>for</strong> a strong 2nd place showing.<br />
Everyone was showered with love and<br />
gifts and stuff. What a day at the office!<br />
Great shooting to everyone and<br />
thanks <strong>for</strong> coming out to support the<br />
house that supports you.<br />
No matter where my little feet<br />
may carry me, there is always someone<br />
in the room who's played darts<br />
at the Cactus Moon at one time or<br />
another. More frequently than not, let<br />
me just say.<br />
Special thanks to Beth Arquette<br />
<strong>for</strong> supplying a photo diary of the<br />
day with her new camera. She "loved<br />
Lisa's hat".<br />
Thanks to Teresa <strong>for</strong> her friendship<br />
and dedication, the staff on a<br />
fabulous day of service, something<br />
we've come to expect here, and to Paul<br />
and Robyn <strong>for</strong> opening up their doors<br />
to us always.<br />
fun-lovin' ladies began a near-quarter<br />
century tradition in darts that continues<br />
today! How cool is that!<br />
I know, you've heard this story<br />
and know it well. That's good, then<br />
I'm doing my job. Cindy Gilbert can<br />
fill you in on some of the finer points<br />
of this ladies-only affair whenst the<br />
two of you meet again. Of course, she<br />
is the Queen of the Cat Fight.<br />
As you know, the new year always<br />
Cat Fight 2011 Champs; Mary and Angie<br />
2nd Place; Charissa and Sara<br />
I love hanging out at the Cat<br />
Fight, everybody's really enjoying the<br />
day and hangin' with their dart buds.<br />
Plus, I love girls... I know, big news.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y just smell good, y'know<br />
Racked up along the wall is a<br />
sweet layout of trophies, all colorful<br />
and gleaming under the lights. <strong>The</strong><br />
50+ girls shooting in the tournament<br />
definitely wanted to get their hands on<br />
one of these <strong>for</strong> themselves. Hopefully<br />
the tallest one, because that would<br />
mean they'd also be tucking a nice,<br />
thick wad of cashola into their bra...<br />
(why do they do this)<br />
<strong>The</strong> bragging rights alone nearly<br />
outweigh the trophy and the cash<br />
both! Teams of women will travel<br />
from far off lands to attend and hopefully<br />
come home with the title of Cat<br />
Fight Champions. Well ladies, there's<br />
a new sheriff in town, actually two.<br />
And their names are... y’know, there<br />
were many, many shots, and I'm not<br />
referring to darts, but dart shots too,<br />
a special team of girls from Burien<br />
