Theater Review: The motormouthed farce of "The School for Lies"

We're all intimately familiar with the sort of boorish character that lets every insulting thought that passes through his mind fly out at inappropriate times, only to have him fall back on the supposedly exonerating excuse that he was "just being honest." Is it better to be truthful to the

WEDNESDAY READING: It's the summer time of life

It has been a year since death entered my life. I had, of course, come to terms with the possibility of my own demise a couple years prior, which is certainly an encounter with the finality. But being left behind by someone I had a future with, whose being was

3 DRINK MINIMUM: Babalouie's Sports Pub and Grill

A few weeks ago I received an email from a nice gentleman named Michael telling me to "spread my wings."  In the email he explained that possible 3 Drink Minimum establishments were not only located in Tacoma, but also Bonney Lake and Buckley. I couldn't agree more.  Yes, there are fine

SLOUCHING TOWARD UTOPIA: Art brutal

So I did it. I saw the Banksy movie at The Grand Cinema. Exit Through the Gift Shop was a work of genius. I think. For those who haven't seen it, the film - which recently ended its run at The Grand - follows the escapades of the indie art world's

NON-STOP HIP-HOP: Dog-eat-dog world

The worlds of hip-hop and entertainment are full of illusions: mirages and images of luxury, riches and material wealth.  Girls wearing next to nothing, men with money to burn and the most lavish of lavish lifestyles.  It's not like that. I am picturing the real lifestyle of hip-hoppers in the Pacific

The Decemberists had to release two or three albums before they could brush off those Neutral Milk Hotel comparisons, though perhaps still not even completely. Of course, some bands desperately depend on those associations, i.e. the appalling
