The Vital 5 Review is a collection of alcohol-fueled editorial,
drawings and other random thoughts written at the Hideout and compiled
into a black and white journal by Editor-in-Chief and Hideout co-owner
Greg Lundgren. This 80-page volume offers a glimpse into the minds
of our patrons, Seattle culture and confessions of the drunken mind.
The idea is rather simple: The Hideout provides clipboards and ballpoint
pens. Any drawings or writings that a patron wishes to contribute
to the journal are deposited into a mahogany submission box, discreetly
mounted onto the South wall. We empty the box twice a week and slowly
construct the next issue from its contents. By its very nature,
no issue is ever alike, and each issue is directed by the submissions
we receive.
The outcome has been startling. We receive approximately 600 submissions
per issue and the quality and humor is outstanding. This may have
to do in part with the quality of our clientele, or possibly be
the effects of alcohol, but regardless, the Vital 5 Review is surprisingly
clever, honest and funny.
This is a free publication and only available at the Hideout. So
come down, grab a cocktail and a clipboard and see if you can make
the cut on our next issue. You don’t have to be a professional
illustrator or writer, you just have to let your guard down, and
tell it like it is.
