Good night, and good luck

I desperately wanted to like the world premiere of the play adaptation of the classic children's book "Goodnight Moon" being staged by Seattle Children's Theatre. The show had everything going for it as it headed into opening night. It had the following of most theatergoers with young children - like me

Masa appeal

ANNOUNCER: Although fast-casual Mex is all the rage today - and with good reason, in the case of Lakewood's Taco Guaymas - high-end Mexican fare has hit Tacoma's Sixth Avenue in the form of Masa Comida Mexicana.  The food is a combination of uppity Mexican standards (tacos, burritos and enchiladas)

Blow a paperweight

After a chat with Mark and Jeannine Sigafoos at last week's William Traver Gallery artists' reception, I felt inspired.  I would, I decided, take Sigafoos up on his invitation and blow glass. The Tacoma Glassblowing Studio offers "The Glassblowing Experience" where you work through making a float or a

Slide into dynamite jazz

Richard Lopez plays the trombone and loves it.  Loves it.  He loves its slender, beautiful curves.  He loves the slide thing.  He loves the cartoonlike, slippery sounds.  If he could, he would slather it on toast or pancakes.  Lopez wails like the late great Carl Fontana, combining a plump tone

Saturday, Oct. 5: Olympia Fall Arts Walk Hip-hop Show

The merging of hip-hop with electro/techno occurred at the dawn of the '80s, and the flavor was so good with acts like Debbie Deb, Egyptian Lover, Kraftwerk and others that the relationship continues to grow. This weekend, award-winning hip-hop duo Never Sleep host and perform at downtown Olympia's quaint and

Thursday, Oct. 10: Crooked Bangs

Hailing from Austin, Texas, Crooked Bangs is a band that is quite adept at building expectations and smashing them. Initially reveling in the sounds of '60s garage and '70s punk, Crooked Bangs slowly folds in elements of post-punk. It's compelling enough, but then you hear the vocals of Leda Ginestra

Friday, Oct. 4: Half Kingdom

I know next to nothing about Half Kingdom, beyond what I can hear in their two available songs online. What I can tell, just by listening to them, is that they embrace a moody post-punk that teems with energy even as it confounds expectations. Clattering drums and choppy guitars give

Saturday, Oct. 5: Blue Skies for Black Hearts

Big Star, and Alex Chilton in particular, was a band driven to madness by a nation turning a blind eye to some of the purest pop music around. In typical fashion, Big Star were ignored in their time, but later discovered by several generations of power pop acts that valued

Three divas in the house

When three tenors get together, there’s a butt-slapping bravado going on that smells an awful lot like a men’s locker room full of sweat and testosterone. Get together three divas, individually incomparable singers of great accomplishment, and you’d probably have something like rapier-sharpened nails and French perfume. Put

Searching for stew in the South Puget Sound

Autumn. I love the onset of the season. I do all the usual autumn stuff: dodge geysers in the middle of Schuster Parkway; chase a flying Buick in Puyallup; drive all over town looking for a movie house not completely packed with government employees. But most of all, I look
