Urban Spelunker: Fife

Fife is a pit stop of a town north of Tacoma and just south of Federal Way. I say pit stop because Fife is quite literally a truck stop destination with several 24-hour dining destinations and loads of diesel fuel available at the pumps. Once upon a time, sweeping farm

Music Critics' Picks: Bottlecap Boys, Fitz of Depression, The Cutwinkles, Luke Winslow-King

[BLUEGRASS] + FRI, AUG. 23 As much as I've always enjoyed the tone of bluegrass, I've tended to think that a lot of the bands in that genre more often than not sound very similar. There's not much distinction, I've found. While the Bottlecap Boys are planted firmly in the bluegrass

During the Renaissance, artists learned their craft by spending countless hours in museums painstakingly copying the works of earlier masters. That kind of dedication and discipline is rare today, but we see it in Paris Reid's paintings, a few of which are now on display at Olyphant Art Supply in

Peace, Love & Raw

Every business, it seems, has its signature product. In the case of Olympia's raw deli Peace, Love & Raw, it's the RawNaimo bar. With a crunchy crust, a creamy filling and a rich cacao topping, it tastes like a nutritional nightmare, but in fact is made primarily of almonds, coconut and

First Bite (and sip): Hilltop Kitchen

It might be cliché to say, but "highly anticipated" is the only way to describe the early August opening of Hilltop Kitchen in the former Tempest Lounge space at 913 Martin Luther King Way in Tacoma. Fans of Chris Keil from his time at 1022 South now have a new

Last Call Party

In 2009, Olympia native Molly Sjoboen got together with a few friends to start the Olympia Pub Crawl, a benefit for childhood cancer research. They had a good run, got some attention and made a modest $200. The group grew, the awareness spread and the tally rose from $250 in 2010

Unicorns and Kissy Giraffes

The older I get, the less interest I have in music taking itself so seriously, or having other people chastise me for not always taking music seriously. On occasions when I've DJ'd, I always put on a mash-up of "Rockin' Robin" and "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to gauge the room.
