Maybe I've been reading too much Sunset magazine lately, but the thought of touring local wineries leaves me salivating. I want it so bad, and I could have it - for $20. For the first time, the wineries of the South Sound have banded together with the Olympia Lacey Tumwater Visitor

It's not every day you get invited to go dumpster diving. While I didn't end up digging in the trash, meeting artist Gabriel Brown gave me a new perspective on what we throw away and how we reuse it. The experience also taught me you can fit all kinds of old

Look, guys, change is always difficult. As I've mentioned before, metalheads are just about the most loyal bunch of music fans around, and no venue has catered to the tastes of Tacoma metalheads - in a very long time, at least - quite to the level of the storied Hell's

Sitting in Café Vita, sipping our Americanos, we discussed what we knew. What we knew, what we had heard and what we still needed to find out. We had heard a lot of things about Northern, the prominent all-ages venue and gallery space in Olympia that had rocked the scene for

Summer is here (finally) and in the heat the other night I had a great discussion with my dear friends DJ Aaron Mack and Metal God of Shred Shug Lewis. Over some icy drinks and blaring N.W.A. and Merciful Fate we talked about "the scene" when we all started in

There was a time when MC battles were a huge part of determining how good of an overall rapper you were. That time has passed, but not completely. Although battles may not be as popular as they once were, Olympia rapper Heretic the Heathen still continues to grow - both

One of the more immediately appreciable aspects about the Tacoma School of the Arts is the constantly renewable source of music the school supplies. Tight-knit groups of musicians are bred and make an impact on the local music scene before moving away or sticking around and becoming young veterans of

JETTYCATS >>> Friday, Aug. 5 The Jettycats are nothing more or less than a remarkably pure embodiment of rock ‘n' roll spirit. The band's music is absurdly propulsive, and they sound positively thrilled to be making it. That this kind of enthusiasm is infectious on record is something, and it speaks volumes

Are you a boy or a girl? It seems like a simple enough question for most people. But what if your gender identity is not so obvious? What if you are transgendered or intersex or a girl with short hair and small breasts who wears gender-neutral clothing? And what if
