Simon Calcavecchia is one of the endearing forces that makes Olympia so damn awesome.  You know Simon - that good-looking man who cruises around Olympia in his wheelchair with his signature Hello Kitty backpack strapped to the back. Simon, with his dapper attire and plethora of beautiful women and tight

Love is the drug

Love is the drug

Roxy Music taught us love can be a drug, but I don't think I've ever heard a song that depicts love and drugs coexisting together, and more or less equally helpful. "I couldn't make it without you-without you and codeine." So goes the chorus of "Codeine," one of six songs on the

Murder on the cheap

Murder on the cheap

What is community theater, and exactly what is it supposed to accomplish? Can it offer professional quality, or should we resign ourselves to watching Joe the Pharmacist and Mary the Bank Teller stumble through A Streetcar Named Desire?  In other words, should it be entry level for adorably inept actors

Swampy is as Swampy does

He sits on a stage - a stage that looks more like a wilting Southern front porch than the focal point of one of Tacoma's local music venues - playing a beaten acoustic guitar. It kind of sounds like the blues, but it's not. It kind of feels like you

TIKI LOGIC: Old school punk (with one Cali band!), Paris Spleen

It's a new week, which means it's time for a new installment of Bobble Tiki's South Sound music news and notes column. Without further ado, let's get rolling... Bobble Tiki is an adaptor, not an innovator. While Bobble Tiki's wife often looks at a situation and identifies ways things could be

Top Food and Drug

There are two major grocery stores near my house, Top Food & Drug and Fred Meyer. Friends, neighbors and even I have very strong feelings about which store we prefer. I find this interesting. Not interesting enough to do any major funded studies, but enough to write about it. As you

Loteria reinterpreted

Fulcrum Gallery continues to mount shows that make old codgers like me realize how out of touch they are. Ed Matlock's new paintings at Fulcrum are from a series based on the Mexican game Loteria, sometimes referred to as Mexican bingo. I never heard of it. And I'm only
