Drinking without booze?

Drinking without booze?

In a personal quest begun in 2008 to better myself and increase the health of my mind, body and spirit, I quit drinking alcohol. It seemed orange juice and Sprite, bottled water or pineapple juice with tonic were to be my only options when out on the town. I quickly

SLOUCHING TOWARD UTOPIA: Tacoma showing signs of life

It's getting bad out there. Museums in New York are trying to sell art to make ends meet. That prompted legislation that would prevent New York cultural institutions from selling art to cover everyday operating costs. Museums call it "deaccession," which usually happens when museums want to buy more

Ah, the Future Show Benefit Show: the local music scene's glorious feedback loop. "Want to see a great show? Well, then you need to see this great show." Awesome. If you're at all interested in seeing next weekend's Music and Art in Wright Park festival, it'd be best for you to come

MUSIC PICKS: SEACATS, C.L.A.W.S., Cat Fancy! and Helltrout reunion

SEACATS >>> Thursday, Aug. 12 Tacoma has a problem developing bands like SEACATS. It seems like if you want power pop you have to leave Tacoma, and probably even pass by Seattle. You have to hit Kelso. Or Bellingham. Or one of many other Washington towns that's unselfconscious enough to nurture a

Music and Art in Wright Park 2010

The Music and Art in Wright Park festival, an annual event that carries on the torch of Tacoma's original Music in the Park festival, has a lot to do with history. A LOT. But it's also about Tacoma's future, and specifically its musical future. The seeds that have grown into the

Concealed and Revealed

The Donald Cole and Francie Allen show Women Concealed and Revealed at Blue Heron Gallery is worth the drive and the ferry ride to Vashon Island. I first became aware of Cole a few years back when I reviewed his show at ArtXchange in Seattle for another publication. I was tremendously

Stuck in actors' purgatory

"I was typecast as a lion," Bert Lahr once said of his post-Wizard of Oz career, "and there just weren't many parts for lions."  If actors have one universal gripe, it's typecasting, the process by which actors are limited to a single kind of role. Actors with limited range sometimes

A crime scene revisited

It's a musty old theater saw that even catastrophic plays can be saved at the last minute.  As Shakespeare in Love shrugged, "It's a mystery."  Frankly, I'm not a fan of this belief.  I always wonder how good the show could have been if it were rehearsed properly all along.

NON-STOP HIP-HOP: Definition of swag

Fools are quick to throw around adjectives like "swag," "journalist," "playboy," "MC" and "legend."  However, one of the few performers who embodies all of the adjectives and can simultaneously wear the adjectives as titles is one Sir Too $hort, also known as Todd Shaw.
