Monday, Nov. 10-Tuesday, Nov. 11: Veterans Day at the Zoo

In observance of Veterans Day Nov. 11 - you know, that day we honor military vets for, oh, we don't know, risking their lives for the freedoms we have, protecting our country and things like that - Weekly Volcano would like to thank all those men and women who have

Bouldering basics

Watching Brian Doyle gracefully go up and then down climb a wall made it seem easy. Fifteen feet off the ground clinging viscously to small fake rock holds, my arms are painfully tensed, each finger clenched so hard I could poke through concrete; my stomach begins doing flips, and my

The Spaceworks program is the kind of thing that's sure to put Tacoma on the map. You can no longer think of T-town as the stepchild of Seattle when it has things like this - open spaces and empty buildings enlivened with visual art, music and performance art. And not

3 DRINK MINIMUM: Masa and beautiful bartender Ryan

I'm pretty sure each and every hard working individual involved with the enormous production of this year's Weekly Volcano Best of Tacoma 2010 issue had a minimum of three drinks at Masa with me last week.  Hell, I would even venture to bet money that anyone who even stepped foot

Tuesday, Aug. 10: YellowFever

Since forming in 2006, YellowFever has released several EPs of deceptively catchy, intelligently minimalist indie-pop that NPR's Carrie Bowenstein once described as "haunted house surf music," an odd, but somehow accurate label that has followed the band from review to review. Yet despite comparisons to Stereolab and favorable reviews of

MUSIC PICKS: Twink The Wonder Kid, Colonies, The Speed Of Sound In Seawater, Cotton Jones

TWINK THE WONDER KID >>> Friday, Aug. 6 As far as reunions go, I'm not sure where the return (kind of) of Dick Rossetti's Twink the Wonder Kid ranks. Somewhere behind the first time the Pixies did it, surely, but probably well ahead of the 87th time the Pixies did it. Either

How do you know you're a "foodie"? Or better yet for you normal people, how do you know if you're a "food nerd"? Simple. You wait with great anticipation for a friend to give you the golden ticket for the recently opened restaurant super store. Restaurant Depot is not just ANY

BITE US: Sushi World, Great Cuisine of India

Sushi World Sushi World on River Road has undergone a management change, but Yakisoba, Pad Thai, teriyaki dishes, edamame and wonton appetizers, in addition to a full service sushi, are still available. Tacoma resident Pete Sedgwick swears by the all-you-can-eat lunch and dinner sushi specials for $9.95 and $14.95, which include

Aug. 14-15, 21-22: Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire

Does it come as a shock that the Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire (notice the "e") is held in Buckley? It shouldn't. This weekend, and the following two weekends, 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., hordes of renaissance faire enthusiasts (read: virgins) will gather for a bunch of make-believe jousting, jostling, wenching

Saturday, Aug. 7: Proctor Arts Fest

If the North End's Proctor District is synonymous with one thing other than Land Rovers with leather seats, jacked up real estate prices and white people, it's probably art. I mean, seriously, we've all seen that fancy-ass intersection art at Proctor and North 26th. Are they doing that kind of

Tuesday, Aug. 10: "Heavy Metal In Baghdad"

Heavy metal and Baghdad go together like, wait, what? Really, it's true. The critically acclaimed 2007 "rockumentary" Heavy Metal In Baghdad follows Acrassicauda, a heavy metal band from Iraq, as the band preservers through the Iraq war, which is happening all around them. Presented by Veterans for Peace and to

Just because Tacoma's Harmon is celebrating its 1000th brew Saturday with the "1000th Brew Party" doesn't mean you should feel obligated or even challenged to drink 1000 beers during said festivities. I mean, we're not going to stop you from trying, but we know from experience ideas like this rarely

Friday, Aug. 6: Doug Stanhope

The last time Doug Stanhope was in Tacoma he allegedly got drunk at Jazzbones and took his manhood out on stage. Of course, this happens all the time at Jazzbones, so it wasn't very surprising. Stanhope heads back to Jazzbones this week, as booze and cigarette fueled as ever, and

Theater Review: Dukesbay Productions' "Tea"

Yürei: "faint spirit." That's the Japanese term for ghosts, of which there are many in Velina Hasu Houston's 90-minute play Tea. It's about Japanese war brides in Junction City, Kansas, in 1968. In the 15 years after World War II, when U.S. troops occupied Japan, more than 100,000 American servicemen

Wednesdays: Vomity Comedy Open Mic

Comedy open mics are where comedians cut their teeth, develop their chops and other folksy idioms meaning "possibly suck to get better." Polish is traded for rawness. Comedians nervously testing out premises they thought of while parking. It wouldn't be a true comedy open mic without a few rookies floundering
