7/7/07, the number of the fest

When learning numbers in Japanese, it becomes clear that counting plays a very important cultural role. It’s not so much for arithmetic but more for identifying things and people in a way that is in line with the orderliness of the culture. There are two counting methods: one is the ichi,

Carmen’s summer daze

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from writing for this fine rag, it’s that you all LOVE Carmen when she’s on vacation. So with that, I have some music for your nibble-worthy ears. I just got started with another one right now! So many of you followed my Hawaiian adventures and escapades, and

The sounds of summer

Common Northwest wisdom says it’s not officially summer until after the Fourth of July. Other parts of the country may start chopping off their Levis in June, but around here, the sun doesn’t really start showing up until the seventh month — and it only sticks around into September. The

Two treats at the market

The Downtown Farmer’s Market is really, truly a special thing here in Tacoma. To be quite honest, it’s one of the reasons that I accepted a job here as a PR Bitty for the City. There are two vendors that I’ve been happy to wait in line for. My favorite is the shaved

Street art

Graffiti has grown up. From hip-hop tagging of the ’70s and ’80s, graffiti has blossomed into an international street art movement. Street art. That’s what the new graffiti is called. And it goes far beyond spray painting the sides of buildings. In addition to wall paintings, the new street art may

What\'s playing

1408: John Cusack is the man to watch in this horror thriller based on a Stephen King short story.  Like “The Shining,” also based on King material, the main character is a frustrated writer who likes to drink, has a terrible trauma in his past and is in isolated surroundings

Three movies receive high marks

Evening Upstairs in a big Newport mansion, a woman is dying in a Martha Stewart bedroom. She takes a long time to die, and the movie is flashbacks from her reveries. An all-star cast sinks in a turgid weepie that commits the cardinal sin: It doesn’t make you weep. One cliché

Yippe-ki-yay, movie-lovers

In “Live Free or Die Hard,” John McClane is the Energizer Bunny, Chuck Wepner and Batman rolled into one.  Like the battery-powered bunny, he just keeps going and going.  Like Wepner, the heavyweight punching bag known as the “Bayonne Bleeder” who was pummeled for 15 rounds by Muhammad Ali and served as

Bobble Tiki loves the Fourth

Oh my god. Bobble Tiki loves the Fourth of July. He’s loves it so freakin’ much he doesn’t know what to do with himself. He’s giddy for two weeks in advance and suffers from a deep depression for two weeks after. Bobble Tiki is as patriotic as they come — at

The bite of Ms. Led

Ms. Led’s new CD, Shake Yourself Awake, sounds like a battle cry. The first thing I heard when I put the disc into my CD player was the “GRRR” of distorted guitar, and right then I knew this album was going to have some bite. But I expected that, mainly

The Elephants stampede back

For the record, the Elephants never broke up. “Per se.” Call it a hiatus. Call it a break. Call it an all-expenses-paid trip to the couch, complete with inactivity and boredom. Call it whatever you want, but after speaking with Cody Jones and Trevor Dickinson, the two remaining original members of the Elephants

Bluesman/guitarist/songwriter Jack Cook has put together the “fake history of Seattle’” in a blues musical. “I Thought I Heard Elliot Bay” tells the fictional story of music in Seattle in the ’40s through the

Tara McCormick

As if she borrowed a pair of Shania Twain’s walkin’ boots, Tara McCormick’s music is country with a sexy rock/pop attitude. If McCormick’s name sounds familiar, it’s probably because she was Miss Washington in 2004, and she made it all the way to the top 15 in the Miss USA

Shoe love, summer style

So here I am, head in my closet, with a problem. My pedicure is in seriously sad shape, between several over-long chipped toenails and polish that’s losing its sparkle. Right now I don’t have time for a pedi, and I have no close-toed spring-summer shoes. What to do? Can’t very well wear
