Heavy art

Lynn Di Nino is a funny lady. But you knew that already, didn’t you? She’s clever, and she’s a skilled craftsperson. But that begs the question: does that necessarily make for great art? Cleverness alone often makes for gimmicky, pseudo art. A good pun — visual or literary — can

It’s raining hardcore

Timing is everything, as they say. I’m not really sure who “they” are, but I’ve heard it time and time again. This week it certainly seems appropriate. For as long as I could remember, it had been gross outside. Windy. Rainy. Gloomy. S***y. Every day I would awake, and every day

I love my life. On a semi-regular basis I am invited to a cool restaurant where I have the opportunity to try tasty beverages presented by a winemaker, brewer or other craftsman. If I am lucky and all the conditions are ripe for the perfect storm, I will find myself

Funky town

I know gourmets who scoff at the thought of eating south of Center Street in Tacoma. So ask them to eat in Olympia and you’re likely to hear: “I’m sorry, maybe you are unaware, but I don’t dine among anarchists and women formally known as Joe.” Olympia, overshadowed by peace marchers,

Bobble Tiki enjoys a good, spirited debate. That’s not to say Bobble Tiki enjoys a good-spirited debate, because when Bobble Tiki throws down verbally he likes to pull out all the stops. Be it name calling or mama referencing, Bobble Tiki will stop at nothing to emerge victorious in any

Carmen is stimulated

At the end of last week I was stimulated, over stimulated, and I spread that stimulation like a nasty virus all over this Tacoma. I was elated to log into my online bank account to see that the U.S. government had direct deposited my $600 in economic stimulus just in time
