Acts of love at Café Love in Olympia

In honor of our anti-Valentine's Day-themed issue, in which Volcano staff wrote bitterly about the woes of dating, love and relationships, I have decided to be anti-anti and write about the positivity of love. To be specific - to observe the random acts of love that surround us at any

Checking in with the Southern Exposure in waiting

Sixth Avenue in Tacoma bustles with diners, and by diners I mean people who eat food. The street swells with happening restaurants and lounges, serving the late-night crowd to the foodnik lunch hour gang. Sixth's culinary cred will only demand more respect when Southern Exposure finally opens. Yes, I said

Agnes Martin's artistic evolution

I am about to say something that many lovers of modern art will consider downright sacrilegious. Here it is: I do not care for Agnes Martin's paintings. Never have. To me they are boring, and the new show at Tacoma Art Museum has done nothing to change my mind. We

Poppet puts on a show

The first time I saw Poppet, it was a complete surprise. All I knew about her was that the wonderful Tender Forever had chosen to share a stage with her at The New Frontier Lounge, and that was enough of a seal of approval for me. I headed down to

Through Feb. 23: "The House at Pooh Corner"

Olympia Family theater's production is charming, funny and quite adorable. It was difficult to tell who enjoyed the show more with laughter coming from the adults as well as the children in attendance. The main plot follows Pooh and the gang as they attempt to help their

Theater Review: Olympia Family Theater makes a charming "Pooh"

There's not much better than sharing something you love from your childhood with the next generation of kids. There's not much worse than beloved literature being remade into something unrecognizable in the name of "modernization." The House at Pooh Corner currently at Olympia Family Theater allows you to revel in

Glass Roots Arts Festival

A gray Sunday in Tacoma was brightened by the Glass Roots Arts Festival, with live artists showing their use of a wide range of media from paint with brush and can to music to glass (natch!) Although not overwhelmed by a throng of festival-goers, the event’s intimate, family-friendly setting provided an

Get your glass down there

Glass, all glass and nothing but glass. That seems to be the new focus of the previously misnamed Museum of Glass: International Center for Contemporary Art. Yep, MOG got smart and did away with the last part of that heavily ambitious name and simplified its mission to reflect a direction it,

Thursday, Feb. 20: Poppet

Poppet, AKA Molly Raney, is a hard act to do any justice in describing. Just one woman, a keyboard and a looping pedal, yet it amounts to so much more than the sum of its parts. Clad in a spandex green onesie, Raney commands the stage with inventive melodies and

Saturday, Feb. 15: People Under the Sun

I've written several times before about People Under the Sun, but here's the deal for the uninitiated: beyond being reliably catchy providers of psychedelic synth-rock, People Under the Sun are perhaps the Tacoma music scene's most committed aesthetes. Not content to simply call it a day at paying homage to

Saturday, Feb. 15: Levels

When Levels make music, they do not fuck around. With compositions tight as a drum and volume knobs dialed in to "internal-organ-jostling," Levels approach a purity of alt-rock purpose that nears elegance. Even with the guitar onslaught, Levels never come close to anthemic. Sounding something like the fuzzy baby of

Saturday, Feb. 15: Horse Bodies

Where do you rock on Valentine's weekend? How about McCoy's, where the crowd is rough and the music is loud. Saturday, Horse bodies, DBST and 10 Cents in Oklahoma will be playing for all the lovesick South Sounders, bringing a well-round bill of classic rock. Horse Bodies,

2014 Washington National Guard Combatives Tournament results

Camp Murray played host to the Washington National Guard Combatives Tournament last weekend "It was pretty impressive. I was thoroughly surprised by some of the participants and their performance levels," said first-time combatives tournament staff member Staff Sgt. Adam Zangenberg. "I think the tournament is important for soldiers because it improves
