Last week, CultureMob published a completely unsubstantiated rumor that Johnny Depp was going to buy legendary Seattle rock venue The Crocodile Cafe.
'It's going around the streets of Seattle like wildfire that Johnny Depp is going to buy the old Crocodile Cafe and make it much, much cooler (and hotter) than it ever was before. This is from several unreliable sources, some of whom were at least partially inebriated at the time of bean-spillage. It's a juicy one though, and Seattle would LOVE it to be true, am I right?' The consensus, at least with Seattlest and Belltowner, is that it's a croc of nothing. Oh, well. It's nice to fantasize.
The P-I's Gene Stout made some calls this week and put the results on the Big Blog. You're right -- it does seem like a 'croc'. http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/thebigblog/archives/138708.asp
No but I did hear he's opening a Viper Room in Bellevue and going to franchise it. Seriously
