Midsummer Soiree

The evening of July 28, smack dab in between summer and fall, brought a bevy of beauties, cuties, and booties to the artists’ live/workspace known as the warehouse. And the Midsummer Soiree, thrown by many of the female masterminds who brought Tacoma Eyefull last winter and the reason behind the assemblage

Blowout

One of two things invariably happens to you after your stylist gets hold of you.  Either you walk away from the chair sticky and funky, with a coif so sky-high that your hands itch to wash it and kill the evidence of the bad style, or you walk out of

RobKat

RobKat shows his sentimental artist style with pieces that have a comfortable cool aesthetic. The shirt he’s wearing is a vintage seventies synthetic-fiber (my guess? Polyester) button-up featuring bike racing (my guess? Greg Lemond is the dude on the bike). His distinctive trousers — definitely NOT Hammer pants — came from a

Top of Tacoma Bar and Grill

Words can in no way express how delighted I am to be the first to alert you on the following piece of nightlife development in Tacoma. Harry’s Place, located at 3529 McKinley Ave., has closed, and new ownership of the building and the business has taken over. The new proprietor? It’s none

Disney\'s High School Musical

This is were all of my journalistic integrity goes out the window and is replaced by a father\\\'s pride. My daughter is making her theater debut this week. It\\\'s a bit part with no lines of her own, but she has a lot of background stage time so that makes excited.

Mining Glass

“Mining Glass” at the Museum of Glass features installations by eight contemporary glass artists. Some are great, some are interesting but unexciting, and some are just boring. The big disappointment is Maya Lin, one of the most exciting and intelligent artists working in America today. Lin is the creator of the

Psychic Fair, Swap and Shop and more

THE BOOKS Page Ahead I could make jokes about how you never read anymore. But that’s just not true. You do. TV Guide doesn’t read itself, you know. Plus you have to figure out that little graph thingy with the channels and times — not to mention the plot summaries. However, I

Hotrod-A-Rama

When summer hits I undergo a visible transformation into a festival-frolicking female. The rest of my weekends this summer are booked with them, but there’s one in particular that changes me more than the rest. Hotrod-a-rama. As a matter of fact, this annual powerhouse festivity does a little something to everyone, and it

I said Poekoelan, not Poekeman

The Indonesian word Poekoelan, roughly translated, means returning blows with hands and feet and is at the center of a form of martial art brought to America via Asia by Mas Goeroe Agoeng Willy Wetzel in the 1950s. Justine Kreher, who has been training and teaching this martial art for

Kyoto’s Japanese Restaurant’s Kirin Beer

The other night several members of the Institute of Liberal Libations went to Kyoto Japanese Restaurant to drown our sorrow from the lack of sports on television with large planks of sushi and lots of beer. The first time I tried raw fish I may as well have been offered

Art scene girl power

The women that brought us last winter’s Eye Full are back at it, bringing another art party to the scene July 28, starting at 7 p.m. This party, called the Midsummer Soiree, will place focus firmly on the girl power of the Tacoma art scene, with photography, 2- and 3-D art,

‘Rescue Dawn’s jungle fever

When he was a child during World War II, Dieter Dengler had an attic room on a German hillside overlooking a valley. One day an American fighter plane roared past “only feet away,” he recalled. The plane’s canopy was down, he made eye contact with the pilot for a moment,

Funny is as funny does

The Simpsons are fairly surprised to find themselves in a movie; they can’t believe “anyone would pay to see what we did on TV for free.” But I suspect a lot of people will. Here is a feature-length version of what Time magazine, no less, called “the 20th century’s best

\"Sunshine\" opens this weekend

I Know Who Killed Me Tough to know if star Lindsay Lohan’s recent DUI and coke bust will help or hinder this week’s serial killer/torture movie opening of the week. My guess is she will be pointing to herself in the mirror by Monday saying, “I know who killed my career.”

Bobble Tiki’s idols arrive

Bobble Tiki is your average American. Average in every way. Bobble Tiki has two parents. They’ve been together since the ’50s, and they hate each other. Bobble Tiki was blonde as a baby Tiki, but as he grew up his hair slowly changed to brown. Now it’s just sparse. Bobble Tiki liked

Trevalyan Triangle

Trevalyan Triangle is the solo project of Leanne Trevalyan (of Junkyard Jane) accompanied by Junkyard Jane bassist Barbra Blue. The songs in Trevalyan Triangle are mostly country/Americana ballads that don’t fit into the more rambunctious Junkyard Jane set list. “Junkyard Jane is mostly the music of Billy Stoops and myself,”

Dead Webcasters pay no royalties

A battle is raging in Washington, DC. No, I’m not talking about the war on terror; I’m talking about the war on Internet radio. The gatekeepers of the music business like record labels, music publishers, broadcasting conglomerates and all their cronies are mad as hell, and they aren’t going to take

Art pop with a familiar face

Sleater-Kinney played its final two shows at Portland’s Crystal Ballroom. Those who’ve been there know, not only is the Crystal Ballroom owned by the McMenamins who redid the Spar in Olympia (and own about a gazillion other bars around Oregon and Washington), but the venue is known for it’s energy-transferring
